Abstract: | AIM:To examine the effects of high concentration of extracellular ATP on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell injury. METHODS:Cultured SH-SY5Y cells were grouped according to the concentrations of ATP and treatment time. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The variation of autophagic vacuoles was observed with monodansylcadaverine staining. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by Hoechst 33258 staining. Meanwhile, apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of caspase-3 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Ⅱ (LC3-Ⅱ) were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells was significantly reduced by ATP at different concentrations (3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 mmol/L for 3 h) and different treatment time (1, 2, 3 and 6 h with 6 mmol/L ATP, peaking at 3 h). The autophagic vacuoles of SH-SY5Y cells were significantly increased at 1 h with ATP treatment, trended to decrease over time and returned to control level at 6 h. The protein expression of LC3-Ⅱ was significantly increased at 1 h with ATP treatment, which was consistent with the time points of increasing autophagic vacuoles. LC3-Ⅱ expression level gradually decreased at 2~3 h with ATP treatment, and returned to control level at 6 h. Compared with control group, the apoptotic rate and the expression level of caspase-3 were enhanced synchronously. The peak of apoptotic rate occurred at 3 h, and kept until 6 h.The level of cleaved caspase-3 expression peaked at 6 h. CONCLUSION:High concentration of extracellular ATP induces the autophagy and apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells. The increased autophagy shows up, followed by the climax of apoptosis until 6 h. With the prolonged duration of ATP, apoptosis is the main process in the cells. |
