Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on oxidative stress injury of mouse ovarian granulosa cells (MOGC), to establish the MOGC oxidative stress model, and to explore the effects of oxidative stress injury on silencing information regulator 2-related enzyme 1 (SIRT1) signaling pathway. A single factor design was adopted and MOGC were treated with 0 (control group), 100, 200, 400 and 800 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 h, respectively, and the apoptosis, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, related antioxidant enzyme activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and apoptosis-related gene expression were determined. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the cell viability in different concentrations of H2O2 groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the cell viability was lower than 50% when H2O2 concentration was more than 200 μmol/L and treated for more than 24 h. 2) Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate in different concentrations of H2O2 groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the intracellular ROS production in 200, 400 and 800 μmol/L H2O2 groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with control group, the intracellular superoxide dismutase activity in 400 μmol/L H2O2 group was significantly decreased (P<0.05); the intracellular catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities and reduced glutathione content in 400 and 800 μmol/L H2O2 groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the intracellular MDA content was significantly increased (P<0.05); the intracellular GSH-Px activity in 200 μmol/L H2O2 group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the intracellular MDA content was significantly increased (P<0.05). 5) Compared with the control group, the intracellular mRNA relative expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim), cysteine-aspartic protease-3 (Caspase-3) and cysteine-aspartic protease-9 (Caspase-9) in 800 μmol/L H2O2 group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the intracellular mRNA relative expression level of B-cell lymphoma-xL (Bcl-xL) was significantly decreased (P<0.05); the intracellular mRNA relative expression levels of Caspase-3 in 400 μmol/L H2O2 group was significantly increased (P<0.05), while the intracellular mRNA relative expression level of Bcl-xL in 400 μmol/L H2O2 group was significantly decreased (P<0.05); in addition, the intracellular mRNA relative expression level of SIRT1 in 200, 400 and 800 μmol/L H2O2 groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the intracellular mRNA relative expression levels of Forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) and p53 were significantly increased (P<0.05). The results suggest that 200 μmol/L H2O2 treatment for 24 h is the ideal condition for establishing MOGC oxidative stress model, and SIRT1-FoxO1/p53 pathway is involved in H2O2-induced MOGC apoptosis.
