Ngăn ngừa quá trình Tự Hủy Tế Bào bởi Bcl-2: Ngăn chặn Sự Giải Phóng Cytochrome c khỏi Ty thể
Tóm tắt
Bcl-2 là một protein màng tích hợp chủ yếu nằm trên màng ngoài của ty thể. Việc biểu hiện quá mức Bcl-2 ngăn chặn các tế bào không trải qua quá trình tự hủy tế bào phản ứng với nhiều loại kích thích khác nhau. Cytochrome c trong bào tương là cần thiết để khởi đầu chương trình tự hủy tế bào, gợi ý một mối liên hệ có thể giữa Bcl-2 và cytochrome c, thường nằm trong khoang giữa màng ty thể. Các tế bào trải qua quá trình tự hủy tế bào được phát hiện có sự gia tăng cytochrome c trong bào tương và sự giảm tương ứng trong ty thể. Việc biểu hiện quá mức protein Bcl-2 ngăn chặn sự tuôn trào cytochrome c khỏi ty thể và sự khởi đầu của quá trình tự hủy tế bào. Do đó, một vai trò có thể của Bcl-2 trong việc ngăn ngừa tự hủy tế bào là ngăn chặn sự giải phóng cytochrome c khỏi ty thể.

HL-60 cells overexpressing Bcl-2 and the vector control cells were harvested by centrifugation at 600 g for 10 min at 4°C. The cell pellets were washed once with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and resuspended with five volumes of buffer A (20 mM Hepes-KOH pH 7.5 10 mM KCl 1.5 mM MgCl 2 1 mM sodium EDTA 1 mM sodium EGTA 1 mM dithiothreitol and 0.1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) containing 250 mM sucrose. The cells were homogenized with 10 strokes of a Teflon homogenizer and the homogenates were centrifuged twice at 750 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatants were centrifuged at 10 000 g for 15 min at 4°C and the resulting mitochondria pellets were resuspended in buffer A containing 250 mM sucrose and frozen in multiple samples at −80°C. The supernatants of the 10 000 g spin were further centrifuged at 100 000 g for 1 hour at 4°C and the resulting supernatants (designated S-100) were divided into samples and frozen at −80°C for further experiments.
On day 0 the cells (∼2.5 × 10 5 cells/ml) were suspended in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum 1 mM sodium pyruvate penicillin (100 μg/ml) and streptomycin (100 μg/ml) and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO 2 incubator. On day 2 cells were treated either with staurosporine (added to a final concentration of 1 μM) for 0 1 2 4 and 6 hours or with etoposide (added to a final concentration of 50 μM) for 0 2 3 and 4 hours. The S-100 supernatants and mitochondria from these treated cells were prepared as described in (17).

neo and Bcl-2 cells were set up and treated with staurosporine as described in (17). After centrifugation at 600 g for 10 min at 4°C the cell pellets were resuspended in PBS containing 5 μM rhodamine 123 (Sigma) and incubated at 37°C for 15 min. The cell suspension was centrifuged in a microcentrifuge for 30 s and the pellet was resuspended in 20 μl of PBS plated onto a 25-mm round glass cover slip coated with poly-D-lysine and mounted into a perfusion chamber for confocal imaging. The fluorescence images were collected with a Meridian Insight-Point Laser scanning confocal microscope (Meridian Instrument) equipped with a Zeiss Axioplan microscope. The objective lens was a 100× numerical aperture 1.4 PlanApo lens. The aperture size of the pinhole was 10 to 40 μm. Confocal optical sections were estimated to be less than 1 μm in thickness. Cells were excited with the 488-nm line of an argon laser and emitted fluorescence was detected through a 530/30 band-pass filter with an intensified cooled charge-coupled-device camera. A typical cell from a population of ∼100 was presented.
