College of Basic Medicine of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2. Experiment Center for Teaching and Learning of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine ABSTRACT Objective To observe the effects of 20 S -PPD on apoptosis and study the mechanism of 20 S -PPD inducing cell apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells HUVECs. Methods HUVECs were treated with 20 S - PPD and cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Cytoplasmic calpain activities were detected through Calpain Activity Assay Kit. Morphologies of endoplasmic reticulum were observed by ER fluorescent probe 3 3-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide staining. Splicing XBP-1 and CHOP mrna levels were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR analysis. Caspase-3 Caspase- 8 bax bcl-2 ATF-6 phosphorylated IRE1 phosphorylated PERK and CHOP protein levels were detected by Western blot analysis. Results The cell growth of HUVECs was inhibited after treatment with 20 S -PPD above 10 μmol /L for 6 h or inhibited after treatment with 20 S -PPD above 5 μmol /L for 24h. After 10 μmol /L 20 S -PPD treatments obvious condensed chromatins and fragmented nuclear bodies were observed in apoptotic cells by DAPI staining. The networks of ER appeared to be fragmented and aggregated to small patches distributed randomly around nucleus by 3 3-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide staining while cytoplasmic calpain activities were not changed significantly. Cleaved Caspase-3 was detected in 10 μmol /L 20 S -PPD treated HUVECs Caspase-8 bax were not changed significantly while bcl-2 protein levels decreased significantly after 10 μmol /L 20 S -PPD treatments. ATF6 was not changed significantly phosphorylated IRE1 and splicing XBP-1 mrna increased significantly phosphorylated PERK and ATF-4 increased significantly. CHOP mrna and protein levels increased significantly after 10 μmol /L 20 S -PPD treatments. Conclusion 20 S -PPD induces apoptosis in HUVECs by activating IRE1 and PERK signal pathway through ER stress to down-regulate bcl-2.
