许多中草药及其提取物可通过诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡发挥抗肿瘤作用[7]。细胞凋亡受许多凋亡相关基因的调控。线粒体是真核细胞中重要的亚细胞结构,是合成ATP、为细胞生命活动提供能量和维持内环境稳态的重要场所。线粒体功能缺陷可能导致细胞内信号通路级联反应,启动细胞凋亡的发生。细胞色素C及Smac是在线粒体膜间最重要的两种凋亡促进因子[8]。细胞色素C是第一种被发现由线粒体释放的促细胞凋亡蛋白[9-10],其主要通过两个途径诱导细胞凋亡:一是Caspase途径,当细胞受到刺激时,Cyt-c释放入细胞质,与凋亡蛋白酶激活因子Apaf-1结合,启动Caspase-9形成全酶,然后裂解,导致pro-Caspase-9活化,激活下游的 pro-Caspase3进入内源性和外源性凋亡途径的最后通路最终导致细胞死亡;二是Caspase非依赖途径,该途径目前还不完全清楚,可能与bax有关。Smac是2000年DU等[11]发现一种新型线粒体膜间隙蛋白,在细胞发生凋亡时依赖Cyt-c的释放入细胞质,继而也从线粒体释放入细胞质,通过解除凋亡抑制蛋白对Caspase3,7,9的作用而诱导凋亡,尤其是Caspase3在凋亡级联反应中处于核心地位[12-13]。Caspase3 是细胞凋亡过程中激活的关键酶,也是细胞凋亡的主要效应分子[14]。
本研究结果发现不同浓度α-细辛醚可诱导人食管癌 Eca-109 细胞凋亡。荧光倒置显微镜观察细胞形态发生改变,提示细胞发生凋亡,RT-PCR和Western blotting检测发现药物处理组细胞特别是α-细辛醚为100 μg·mL-1时,线粒体Cyt-c、Smac表达明显增加,从线粒体膜间隙向细胞质内释放,经线粒体Caspase依赖凋亡通路诱导食管癌细胞凋亡,细胞色素C释放进入细胞质中,作用于Caspase家族,形成Caspase级联反应。Cyt-c、Smac mRNA及蛋白的高表达,引起Caspase 3 mRNA和蛋白的高表达,从而诱导细胞发生凋亡。从本研究结果也看出,α-细辛醚为25 μg·mL-1时,其诱导食管癌细胞凋亡的作用不是很明显,Cyt-c和Smac的表达虽有所增加,但差异不明显,而当α-细辛醚逐渐加大至终浓度100 μg·mL-1,其诱导凋亡的形态改变越来越明显,具有浓度依赖性;且Cyt-c、Smac和Caspase3的表达在终浓度100 μg·mL-1时与阴性对照组比较差异均有统计学意义。
综上所述,α-细辛醚处理组细胞Cyt-c、Smac和Caspase3基因的表达增加,提示α-细辛醚可能通过上
调线粒体凋亡通路相关蛋白Cyt-c、Smac和Caspase3的表达诱导食管癌Eca-109细胞的凋亡,但其作用机制尚不明确,有待研究。

α-Asarone is a main component of Acorus gramineus widely known as an oriental traditional medicinal stuff. A. gramineus has been known to have a variety of medicinal efficacies such as anti-gastric ulcer and anti-allergic activities, inhibition of histamine release and antioxidant effect. However, its effect on angiogenesis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of α-asarone on induction of angiogenesis through modulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). First of all, MTT assay was performed to evaluate the effect of α-asarone on cell viability using MTT assay, and then tube formation assay with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro and rat aorta ring assay ex vivo were carried out to elucidate its effect on angiogenesis. Treatment with α-asarone below 602μM showed no cytotoxicity in human fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080) and HUVEC. It was observed that α-asarone not only promotes tube formation of HUVEC but also induces angiogenesis of rat aorta. In addition, the effects of α-asarone on the expressions of protein and gene were evaluated using western blot analysis and RT-PCR assay. α-Asarone increased the expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 stimulated by phenazine methosulfate (PMS) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in HT1080. Especially, the expression level of antioxidant enzyme such as glutathione reductase was increased in the presence of α-asarone. Therefore, above findings suggest that α-asarone may play an important role in pathological diseases related to MMP and angiogenesis.

Smac/DIABLO is a mitochondrial protein that is released along with cytochrome c during apoptosis and promotes cytochrome c-dependent caspase activation by neutralizing inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). We provide evidence that Smac/DIABLO functions at the levels of both the Apaf-1-caspase-9 apoptosome and effector caspases. The N terminus of Smac/DIABLO is absolutely required for its ability to interact with the baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR3) of XIAP and to promote cytochrome c-dependent caspase activation. However, it is less critical for its ability to interact with BIR1/BIR2 of XIAP and to promote the activity of the effector caspases. Consistent with the ability of Smac/DIABLO to function at the level of the effector caspases, expression of a cytosolic Smac/DIABLO in Type II cells allowed TRAIL to bypass Bcl-xL inhibition of death receptor-induced apoptosis. Combined, these data suggest that Smac/DIABLO plays a critical role in neutralizing IAP inhibition of the effector caspases in the death receptor pathway of Type II cells.

We report here the identification of a novel protein, Smac, which promotes caspase activation in the cytochrome c/Apaf-1/caspase-9 pathway. Smac promotes caspase-9 activation by binding to i nhibitor of a poptosis p roteins, IAPs, and removing their inhibitory activity. Smac is normally a mitochondrial protein but is released into the cytosol when cells undergo apoptosis. Mitochondrial import and cleavage of its signal peptide are required for Smac to gain its apoptotic activity. Overexpression of Smac increases cells' sensitivity to apoptotic stimuli. Smac is the second mitochondrial protein, along with cytochrome c, that promotes apoptosis by activating caspases.

STUDY DESIGN.: A biochemical and radiologic comparison of 4 disc injury models to produce disc degeneration in the rabbit was carried out in 2 experiments. OBJECTIVES.: To develop a reliable animal model of intervertebral disc degeneration. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: In order to study various interventions for retarding or preventing disc degeneration, a reliable animal model of disc degeneration is needed. METHODS.: First experiment: 7 New Zealand white rabbits (1 year old, 3.5-4.5 kg body weight) were used to test 4 different disc injury models; intradiscal injection of Camptothecin (an apoptotic agent) using a 23-gauge needle at L2-L3, nucleus aspiration using a 21-gauge needle at L3-L4, 3 anulus punctures using a 21-gauge needle at L4-L5, and 1 anulus puncture using a 18-gauge needle at L5-L6. The L1-L2 level was used as a control. Rabbits were killed 12 weeks later. Lumbar spinal magnetic resonance images were assessed using 4 grades of disc degeneration. The water content of the nucleus was measured. Dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) assay was used to measure the sulfated-glycosaminoglycan content. Second experiment: the 21-gauge 3-puncture and the 18-gauge 1-puncture models, thought most effective in producing disc degeneration in the first experiment, were again used in a second study. Six rabbits were killed 8 weeks later, the water and sulfated-glycosaminoglycan contents being measured as in the first experiment. RESULTS.: In the first experiment, the water content in the aspiration and puncture models was significantly decreased. Only the sulfated-glycosaminoglycan content in the aspiration model showed a significant decrease as compared to the control. Disc heights and magnetic resonance grades documented significant degeneration occurring in the aspiration and puncture models. In the second experiment, the water content showed a significant decrease in the 21-gauge 3-puncture model, whereas neither of the results for the sulfated-glycosaminoglycancontent
