Abstract

This experiment aimed to explore whether tea polyphenols could activate silent information regulator 2-related enzyme 3 (SIRT3) to alleviate the inflammatory response in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) induced by oxidative stress. By interfering with SIRT3, damaging BMECs with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and then intervening with tea polyphenols (TP), the effect of TP activating SIRT3 on the inflammatory response of oxidatively damaged BMECs was clarified. The results showed that after interfering with SIRT3 and treating with H2O2 lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, the mRNA relative expression levels of mitochondrial factors such as nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) were significantly decreased (P<0.01), which in turn caused oxidative stress in cells, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), an oxidative stress marker in BMECs, and the fluorescence intensity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were significantly increased (P<0.01), the mRNA relative expression levels of the antioxidant pathway nuclear respiratory factor 2 (NRF2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were significantly decreased (P<0.01), the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in BMECs were significantly decreased (P<0.01), the mRNA relative expression levels of inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were significantly increased (P<0.01), finally, the mRNA relative expression levels of apoptosis factors such as B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein (BAX) and cysteine-containing aspartate-specific protease 3 (CASP3) were significantly increased (P<0.01), leading to the apoptosis of BMECs. However, the addition of TP could reverse this reaction, by increasing the contents of antioxidant factors and mitochondrial factors, and inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors and apoptosis factors, alleviated the oxidative stress and inflammatory response of BMECs induced by H2O2. When SIRT3 was knocked out, this inhibitory effect disappeared, and mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage were aggravated. In conclusion, this study reveals the effect and mechanism of TP in alleviating the mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammatory response of BMECs induced by H2O2 through activating SIRT3, providing a solid theoretical and technical support for the popularization and application of TP in dairy cow production.

奶牛乳腺炎是一种多因素炎性疾病,是奶牛围产期主要疾病之一,其主要特征是炎性细胞浸润和乳腺腺泡结构破坏,是导致产奶量和奶品质下降的主要因素之一[1]。围产期奶牛乳腺高代谢引起的乳腺抗氧化功能与活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)生成之间的不平衡会增加乳腺炎的发病率。在泌乳早期,尤其是在高产奶牛中,大量乳汁的合成和分泌增加了乳腺组织的能量需求,导致大量ROS的积累,破坏细胞膜结构,继而引起乳腺组织的抗氧化功能障碍。虽然抗生素有助于治疗乳腺炎,但其易导致药物残留、细菌耐药性增强等问题[2]。因此,在当下畜牧业绿色可持续发展的迫切需求下,“替抗”进程刻不容缓,已然成为产业中亟待解决的关键问题。
沉默信息调节因子2相关酶3(silent information regulator 2-related enzyme 3,SIRT3)是一种调节能量和氧化还原平衡的线粒体去乙酰化酶,能拮抗过氧化氢(hydrogen peroxide,H2O2)对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞(bovine mammary epithelial cells,BMECs)的毒性作用[3]SIRT3可通过阻断炎性信号通路Toll样受体(Toll-like receptor,TLR)/核因子-κB(nuclear factor-kappa B,NF-κB)的激活发挥抗炎保护作用,缓解脂多糖在BMECs中引发的炎性反应[4]。研究表明,SIRT3敲除小鼠体内的NF-κBP65的表达显著增加,引起血管炎症加重,而过表达SIRT3则可降低血管内NF-κBP65的表达,减轻血管紧张素Ⅱ诱导的炎性反应[5]。此外,线粒体是细胞进行有氧呼吸的主要场所,与氧化应激关系密切。研究发现,激活SIRT3后可抑制线粒体功能障碍,主要通过介导线粒体转录因子A(mitochondrial transcription factor A,TFAM)脱乙酰化促进线粒体自噬和促进过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ辅激活因子-1α(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α,PGC-1α)、核呼吸因子1(nuclear respiratory factor 1,NRF1)等重要线粒体因子的蛋白表达,进而发挥线粒体保护作用,抑制氧化应激和炎性反应的发生[6-7]
作为天然外源添加剂,茶多酚(tea polyphenol,TP)具有抗炎、抗氧化、抗癌和调节代谢等作用,在保护机体免受外部刺激和消除ROS方面发挥着重要作用[8]。研究表明,TP可通过靶向抑制NF-κB/NOD样受体蛋白3(NOD-like receptor protein 3,NLRP3)、转化生长因子-β1(transforming growth factor-β1,TGF-β1)/p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase,p38MAPK)/c-Jun氨基末端激酶(c-Jun N-terminal kinase,JNK)轴和核因子E2相关因子2(nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2,NRF2)等信号通路来缓解氧化应激和炎症的发生[9-10],但TP是否可通过靶向SIRT3来缓解H2O2诱导的奶牛乳腺上皮细胞的氧化应激和炎性反应尚不清楚。因此,本试验通过体外培养BMECs并敲除SIRT3后进行TP干预,观察TP对SIRT3的激活效应及对线粒体功能障碍和氧化损伤BMECs的缓解作用,为生产中防控奶牛乳腺发病提供技术支撑。

3 讨论

奶牛乳腺炎会造成产奶量下降、乳品质降低、治疗成本增加、牛群更替成本增加等一系列危害,进而影响到牧场的经济效益。SIRT3在线粒体氧化代谢、能量代谢和氧化还原稳态以及细胞凋亡中发挥着不可或缺的作用[11-12]。研究表明,敲除SIRT3会导致ROS含量显著增加,线粒体内SIRT3/NRF1/TFAM信号通路受到抑制,最终导致严重的线粒体功能障碍和氧化应激,引发BMECs发生炎性反应[13],而SIRT3含量的增加可通过抑制ROS的生成,提升抗氧化酶SOD和GSH-Px的含量,改善线粒体损伤和氧化应激,进而缓解炎性反应,抑制细胞凋亡[14];线粒体功能障碍会导致动物体内产生大量氧自由基,进一步破坏线粒体结构和功能,从而使生物体处于氧化应激状态[15]。本课题组前期研究中发现,敲除SIRT3会上调BMECs内MDAROS的表达,诱发氧化应激,进而降低线粒体关键因子SIRT3、NRF1和TFAM的mRNA相对表达量,致使线粒体功能出现障碍,这进一步促使BMECs中炎性因子如TNF-αIL-1β的mRNA相对表达量增加,导致BMECs发生炎性损伤。与之相反,过表达SIRT3则能够有效抑制上述现象,维持BMECs内氧化还原稳态,保障线粒体功能正常,显著降低细胞炎性损伤程度,抑制细胞凋亡进程[3]。上述研究结果表明SIRT3在调控线粒体功能、氧化应激与炎性反应进程中发挥着核心作用,是缓解线粒体功能障碍、氧化应激损伤和减轻炎性症反应程度的有效干预靶点。适宜剂量的TP可以通过上调免疫反应来抵御免疫系统受到的刺激,不会对细胞产生负面效应[16]。研究表明,外源添加TP能够降低线粒体ROS的蛋白表达水平,提升SIRT3及线粒体复合物Ⅰ、复合物Ⅱ和复合物Ⅳ的蛋白表达水平,从而促进线粒体中三磷酸腺苷(adenosine triphosphate,ATP)的生成,缓解H2O2诱导的肝细胞和HEK293细胞氧化损伤[17-18]。本研究发现,外源添加TP后可以显著降低H2O2引发的BMECs中PGC-1αTFAMNRF1的mRNA相对表达量,改善线粒体功能障碍,进而恢复线粒体ATP含量。此外,当摄入或添加TP可有效激活SIRT3的表达,降低氧化因子MDA的表达,促进抗氧化因子SOD的表达,进而抑制机体和细胞的炎性损伤[19-20]。本研究发现,对BMECs进行TP干预后可以有效抑制由H2O2诱导的ROSMDA的表达,提高抗氧化因子GSH-Px和SOD含量,从而缓解氧化应激;而当敲除SIRT3后TP缓解H2O2诱导的氧化应激的作用消失,说明TP在发挥缓解BMECs线粒体功能障碍和氧化应激的作用中依赖SIRT3的高表达来实现。
氧化应激会增强炎性反应并导致乳腺的损伤[21]。NF-κB是炎性损伤的重要调节靶点,可调节几种炎性细胞因子如TNF-αIL-1βIL-6的表达参与不同的炎性疾病[22]。研究表明,通过外源添加剂TP可通过激活SIRT3上调抗氧化标致基因NRF2的表达,抑制NF-κB的表达,进而降低炎性因子TNF-αIL-1βIL-6的表达,缓解氧化应激引起的炎性反应[23-24]。本研究发现,外源添加TP后可显著激活NRF2/HO-1信号通路的表达,进而抑制炎性因子TNF-αIL-1βIL-6的表达,缓解H2O2诱导的BMECs氧化损伤;而敲除SIRT3后进行TP干预并未缓解氧化应激和炎性反应。此外,其他研究也得到了相似的结论,如外源添加齐墩果酸和柚皮苷等可以激活SIRT3的表达,从而降低NF-κB的表达,进而通过抑制p65和炎症小体NLRP3的蛋白表达来缓解细胞炎性损伤[25-26];褪黑素可以通过激活SIRT3的表达来降低线粒体氧化应激,进而增强NF-κB脱乙酰化,从而通过减少血清炎性因子TNF-α、IL-6和IL-10含量来缓解炎性反应[27]
当细胞发生炎性损伤后会激活CASP3触发细胞凋亡级联反应,导致细胞凋亡加剧[28]。研究表明,外源添加檀香醇后可通过激活SIRT3进而抑制PC12细胞中由血红素刺激激活CASP3触发的凋亡级联反应,减轻组织病理学损伤和细胞凋亡,并恢复细胞内ATP含量[29]。本研究发现,H2O2诱导可显著上调CASP3的表达,加入TP后则可显著抑制CASP3的表达,而敲除SIRT3后则抑制作用消失,CASP3依然处于激活状态,进而上调BMECs凋亡率,加速BMECs凋亡。此外,当线粒体发生功能障碍时,线粒体可以释放多种细胞凋亡诱导因子,激活半胱天冬酶级联反应,并促进细胞凋亡[30]CYTC是一种与细胞呼吸和细胞凋亡等生理过程密切相关的重要蛋白质,在细胞凋亡过程中,CYTC会从线粒体释放到细胞质中启动凋亡级联反应。研究表明,外源添加人参皂苷Rb1通过激活SIRT3信号通路抑制由高葡萄糖诱导激活的CASP3和CYTC的蛋白表达,进而抑制细胞凋亡的发生[31]。本研究中,经H2O2诱导后BMECs线粒体内凋亡因子CYTC的mRNA相对表达量显著上升,进而导致凋亡级联反应启动,BMECs中凋亡因子BAX的mRNA相对表达量显著上升,而凋亡抑制因子BCL-2的mRNA相对表达量显著下降,TP则可显著逆转这一反应,而敲除SIRT3后逆转作用消失。以上结果表明,TP可以通过激活SIRT3来抑制BMECs中凋亡的启动,从而抑制BMECs因炎性损伤导致的凋亡。

4 结论

TP可通过激活SIRT3下调炎性因子、氧化因子、促凋亡因子含量,上调抗氧化酶含量和线粒体关键调控因子表达,抑制凋亡因子表达,从而恢复线粒体功能,提高抗氧化能力,保护BMECs免受氧化应激与炎性损伤导致的细胞凋亡,进而缓解乳腺氧化损伤和炎性损伤。
