  • 摘要:
    目的  探讨沉默调节蛋白3(SIRT3)对人肾小管上皮细胞线粒体生物合成调控的分子机制。
    方法 通过不同浓度过氧化氢(H2O2)刺激细胞,将细胞分为4组:对照组(NC组)、50 μmol/L H2O2组、110 μmol/L H2O2组、150 μmol/L H2O2组,检测H2O2对SIRT3蛋白表达的影响。使用siRNA转染细胞,敲低SIRT3基因,并将细胞分为5组:对照组(NC组)、阴性对照组(NCsi组)、SIRT3敲低组(siSIRT3组)、NCsi+H2O2组和siSIRT3+H2O2组。24 h后收集各组细胞检测细胞三磷酸腺苷(ATP)、线粒体超氧阴离子(O2)水平,线粒体SIRT3、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ共激活因子-1α(PGC-1α)、核呼吸因子1(NRF1)、线粒体转录因子A(TFAM)、超氧化物歧化酶2(SOD2)、乙酰化SOD2及细胞腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶α1(AMPKα1)的表达水平。
    结果 110 μmol/L和150 μmol/L H2O2能降低细胞SIRT3蛋白表达水平(均为P<0.05)。与NC组比较,NCsi组细胞ATP水平和线粒体O2差异均无统计学意义(均为P>0.05)。与NCsi组比较,siSIRT3组O2水平升高,SIRT3蛋白表达水平下降,SOD2蛋白和乙酰化SOD2蛋白表达水平升高(均为P<0.05)。与NCsi组比较,NCsi+H2O2组细胞ATP水平下降,线粒体O2水平升高,SIRT3、SOD2、TFAM、AMPKα1、PGC-1α和NRF1蛋白表达水平均下降(均为P<0.05)。与siSIRT3组比较,siSIRT3+H2O2组细胞ATP水平下降,线粒体O2水平升高,SIRT3、SOD2、TFAM、AMPKα1、PGC-1α和NRF1蛋白表达水平下降,乙酰化SOD2蛋白表达水平下降(均为P<0.05)。与NCsi+H2O2组比较,siSIRT3+H2O2组细胞ATP水平下降,线粒体O2水平升高,SIRT3、AMPKα1、PGC-1α和NRF1、TFAM蛋白表达水平下降,SOD2和乙酰化SOD2蛋白表达水平升高(均为P<0.05)。
    结论 SIRT3通过调控AMPK/PGC-1α/NRF1和TFAM信号通路促进肾小管上皮细胞线粒体生物合成,是SIRT3改善氧化应激线粒体功能障碍的重要分子机制。

     

    Abstract:
    Objective To elucidate the molecular mechanism of sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) in regulating mitochondrial biogenesis in human renal tubular epithelial cells.
    Methods Cells were stimulated with different concentrations of H2O2 and divided into four groups: control (NC), 50 μmol/L H2O2, 110 μmol/L H2O2 and 150 μmol/L H2O2. SIRT3 protein expression was then measured. SIRT3 was knocked down with siRNA, and cells were further assigned to five groups: control (NC), negative-control siRNA (NCsi), SIRT3-siRNA (siSIRT3), NCsi+H2O2, and siSIRT3+H2O2. After 24 h, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and mitochondrial superoxide anion (O2) levels were determined, together with mitochondrial expression of SIRT3, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), acetylated-SOD2 and adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase α1 (AMPKα1).
    Results The 110 and 150 μmol/L H2O2 decreased SIRT3 protein (both P<0.05). ATP and mitochondrial O2 did not differ between NC and NCsi groups (both P>0.05). Compared to the NCsi group, the siSIRT3 group exhibited elevated O2 level, decreased SIRT3 protein and increased expression levels of SOD2 and acetylated SOD2 protein (all P<0.05). Compared to the NCsi group, the NCsi+H2O2 group exhibited decreased cellular ATP levels, elevated mitochondrial O2 levels, and reduced protein expression levels of SIRT3, SOD2, TFAM, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1 (all P<0.05). Compared with the siSIRT3 group, the siSIRT3+H2O2 group showed a decrease in cellular ATP levels, an increase in mitochondrial O2 levels, a decrease in SIRT3, SOD2, TFAM, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1 protein expression levels and a decrease in acetylated SOD2 protein expression levels (all P<0.05). Compared with the NCsi+H2O2 group, the siSIRT3+H2O2 group showed a decrease in cellular ATP levels, an increase in mitochondrial O2 levels, a decrease in SIRT3, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1, TFAM protein expression levels, and an increase in SOD2 and acetylated SOD2 protein expression levels (all P<0.05).
    Conclusions SIRT3 promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in tubular epithelial cells via the AMPK/PGC-1α/NRF1/TFAM axis, representing a key mechanism through which SIRT3 ameliorates oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.
