Description

Application of indole-3-methyl acetate in relieving radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to an application of indole-3-methyl acetate in relieving radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
Background
Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive and fatal interstitial lung injury that occurs after radiation therapy, characterized by irreversible destruction of lung tissue, deterioration of lung function, impaired quality of life, respiratory failure, and even death. At present, the etiology of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis is not completely understood. It is known from the pathogenesis of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis that it is associated with activation of inflammatory transcription factors, differentiation of myofibroblasts, progression of collagen extracellular matrix and Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT).
EMT is a progressive process that confers the ability to metastasize and invade cells, including stem cell characteristics, reducing apoptosis and aging, and promoting immunosuppression; without intervention, lung injury is increased, followed by pulmonary fibrosis, and an irreversible loss of lung function. EMT results in reduced adhesion between cells and other epithelial cells, as well as loss of molecular characteristics of epithelial adhesion markers (e.g., E-cadherin) and acquisition of mesenchymal markers (e.g., N-cadherin, vildagliptin, and fibronectin).
Indole-3-acetic acid methyl ester (abbreviated as I3 MA) is a tryptophan catabolite converted by intestinal microorganisms. Tryptophan catabolites are taken up by intestinal epithelium and then enter the blood and are then excreted by urine. I3MA can be activated and upregulated by including herbal interventions to ameliorate ischemic stroke. In addition, the probiotic bacteria performed a dry prognosis of increased I3MA in high fat diet mice, suggesting that I3MA has the potential to prevent obesity. Furthermore, quercetin has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects on colorectal cancer by upregulating I3MA levels. These properties make I3MA potentially useful for improving radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis and reversing EMT. However, the role of I3MA in radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis is currently unknown.

According to the manufacturer's instructions for each cell line, all cell lines were maintained at 37℃and 5% carbon dioxide, medium was changed every 24h, subculture was performed every 48h, and the whole cell culture was in a sterile state.
In a first aspect, to investigate whether I3MA was toxic to cells and whether cells were induced to develop EMT invasive characteristics in IR6Gy radiation after pretreatment of cells with I3MA, test a-test F was developed in example 1.
Test a (CCK-8 assay to detect cell viability):
CCK-8 (enhanced cell viability detection kit) is a rapid, high-sensitivity and non-radioactive colorimetric detection kit based on WST-8, and is widely applied to detection of cell proliferation or cytotoxicity. In the presence of an electron carrier, WST-8 is reduced by intramitochondrial dehydrogenase to generate water-soluble orange formazan, the amount of formazan generated is proportional to the number of living cells, and the amount of living cells can be calculated indirectly by detecting the absorbance at 450 nm.
Test A step: preparing a cell suspension from HBE cells with good growth state, and inoculating 100 mu L of the cell suspension (containing about 5000 cells) in each well into a 96-well plate;
Culturing the cell suspension inoculated in each hole by adopting a complete culture medium, wherein the complete culture medium is an Eagle culture medium of 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 mug/mL streptomycin and 100U/mL penicillin; after adding 100 mu L of complete culture medium into each well, placing the mixture in a constant temperature incubator with 5% CO 2 and 37 ℃ for culture;
Sequentially setting a test group A-0, a test group A-1, a test group A-2, a test group A-3, a test group A-4, a test group A-5, a blank control group (no cell suspension is added, but the same volume of complete culture medium is added) and a DMSO control group (the cell suspension is treated with the same volume of DMSO as a DMSO control group because I3MA is diluted with DMSO) for each cell suspension inoculated in each well; preparing I3MA into mother solutions with different concentrations in the test groups A-0 to A-5 by adopting DMSO, and diluting the mother solution to the required concentration by using the complete culture medium, wherein the concentrations of the I3MA corresponding to the test groups A-0 to A-5 are 0mM, 0.5mM, 1mM, 2.5mM, 5mM and 10mM in sequence;

the absorbance at 450nm was measured with a microplate reader, and the HBE cell viability was calculated.
Conclusion of test a:
Referring to FIG. 1, CCk8 results show that I3MA is not significantly cytotoxic to HBE cells, and that I3MA is used at concentrations of 0.5-10mM, all without significant cytotoxicity to HBE cells.
Wherein, a blank control group was set for removing the effect of the complete medium on the CCk-8 result (CCk-8 result is that the 96-well plate was measured for absorbance at 450nm with a microplate reader, but the complete medium also had absorbance at 450nm, so CCk-8 calculated cell viability= (test group absorbance-blank control group absorbance)/(A-0 group absorbance-blank control group absorbance)).

Conclusion of test B:
Referring to FIG. 2, if HBE cells were not treated with I3MA prior to IR6Gy irradiation, the phenotype of the HBE cells changed from oval to spindle; if the HBE cells are treated with I3MA prior to IR6Gy irradiation, the I3MA can protect morphological changes and maintain the ellipticity of the HBE cells.

Firstly, respectively paving sub-cultured A549 cells, HCT cells and MDA-MB-231 cells in different six-hole plates in equal quantity, respectively adopting I3MA with the concentration of 0mM and 1mM to treat the A549 cells, the HCT cells and the MDA-MB-231 cells before radiating the cells of each group by IR6Gy, and dividing the cells into three groups of control groups (0 mMI MA), IR (6 Gy) groups and IR (6 Gy) +1mMI MA; harvesting the above three cells 1-5×10 7 respectively, adding 1mlTrizol (guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol) (taking out white blood cells beside refrigerator, adding Trizol), and mixing;
Repeatedly withdrawing with a 1ml syringe (about 30 times) to disrupt cells and shear DNA, and standing at room temperature for 5min (to completely separate nucleic acid protein complex);
Adding 0.2ml chloroform, shaking vigorously for 15-30s, standing for 2-3min; obtaining a sample by centrifugation at 4 ℃, wherein the centrifugation condition is 12000rpm multiplied by 15min;
The samples were divided into three layers: the bottom layer is a yellow organic phase, and the upper layer is a colorless aqueous phase and a middle layer;
RNA is predominantly in the aqueous phase, which is about 60% of the TRIzol reagent used, i.e., about 600ul;
the supernatant was carefully aspirated into a new DEPC-treated 1.5mlEP tube (if the organic phase was retained for DNA and protein isolation), 0.5ml of isopropanol was added, the tube was gently mixed, and the tube was allowed to stand at room temperature for 10min. Centrifuging at 4deg.C, 12000rpm×10min; no RNA precipitate was seen before centrifugation, and colloidal precipitate appeared on the tube side and bottom after centrifugation;
Removing the supernatant, adding 1ml of 75% ethanol (ice-cold) into the precipitate, shaking, and washing the precipitate thoroughly;
centrifuging at 4deg.C, 12000rpm×5min; discarding the supernatant, briefly centrifuging, carefully sucking the discarded supernatant;
adding a proper amount (20 μl) DEPC (RnaseFree) H20 to dissolve RNA (dissolving for 10-15 min at 65 ℃);
Reverse transcription of the RNA into cDNA using a cDNA synthesis kit;
The primer sequence of qRT-PCR was designed by PrimerPremierSoftware5.0 (PremierBioSoftInternational, USA); the polymerase chain reaction was performed in 96-well plates, 10 μl of reaction per well, containing 1 μl of diluted cDNA, 5 μl LFastStartUniversalSYBRGreenMaster (ROX), 0.3 μl of upstream and downstream primers (10 μl) and 3.4 μl of water;
Using Light The system (barcello, switzerland) evaluates the mRNA expression level of the target gene; the internal reference for mRNA expression level was beta-action, and the relative expression level was calculated by the method of 2 -△△CT.
Test G conclusion:
Referring to FIGS. 9-17, mRNA transcription levels of endogenous factors (CDH 1, CDH2, and TGF beta 1), secreted factors (MMP 2, IL32, and CCL 2), and transcription factors (JUNB, TP63, snail, KLF9, HOXD, and FOSB) in A549 cells, HCT cells, and MDA-MB-231 cells were examined using qRT-PCR;
the endogenous factor, the secreted factor and the transcription factor are highly expressed in cells in which EMT occurs;
for endogenous factors in A549 cells, HCT cells, and MDA-MB-231 cells, CDH1, CDH2, and TGF-beta 1mRNA transcript levels of each cell increased upon IR irradiation; however, after pretreatment of each cell with I3MA prior to IR irradiation, CDH1, CDH2 and tgfβ1mRNA transcript levels of each cell were reduced by IR irradiation;
For secreted factors in A549 cells, HCT cells, and MDA-MB-231 cells, MMP2, IL32, and CCl2mRNA transcript levels in each cell increased upon IR irradiation; however, after pretreatment of each cell with I3MA prior to IR irradiation, MMP2, IL32 and CCl2 levels were reduced in each cell by IR irradiation;
For secreted factors in A549 cells, HCT cells, and MDA-MB-231 cells, transcript levels of JUNB, TP63, snail, KLF9, HOXD9, and FOSBmRNA were elevated in each cell following IR irradiation; however, after pretreatment of each cell with I3MA prior to IR irradiation, the transcript levels of JUNB, TP63, snail, KLF9, HOXD9 and FOSBmRNA were reduced for each cell by IR irradiation;
Taken together, tgfβ1 gene mRNA transcript levels in the endogenous factors are most down-regulated. Notably, tgfβ1 is a marker of pre-invasion and poor prognosis, contributing to the formation of EMT and radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, is abnormally high expressed in a variety of cancer-related fibrosis, and is a major regulator of EMT.
Test H (immunoblotting test for detection of TGF-beta 1 expression after 10 days of I3MA treatment on A549 cells, HCT cells and MDA-MB-231 cells):
Test H step:
First, subcultured A549 cells, HCT cells and MDA-MB-231 cells were spread in different six-well plates in equal amounts, respectively, and before each group of cells was irradiated with IR6Gy, the A549 cells, HCT cells and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with I3MA at concentrations of 0mM and 1mM, respectively, and divided into three groups of control group (0 mMI MA), IR (6 Gy) group and IR (6 Gy) +1mMI MA. Then, proteins of each group of cells were extracted respectively by referring to the procedure of test C, and Westernblot test was performed.
Test H conclusion:
Referring to FIGS. 18-20, for A549 cells, HCT cells, and MDA-MB-231 cells, TGF-beta 1 protein expression was increased for each cell after IR irradiation; however, after pretreatment of each cell with I3MA prior to IR irradiation, TGF-beta 1 protein expression was decreased in each cell by IR irradiation.
The results of the test G-H show that the pretreatment of the A549 cells, the HCT cells and the MDA-MB-231 cells by adopting the I3MA can inhibit the EMT of the corresponding cells.
In example 1, the results of experiments A-H show that after the pretreatment of the cells by using I3MA, the cell survival rate is basically unchanged, no obvious cytotoxicity is caused to the cells, and the cell morphology is kept elliptical; after the I3MA is adopted for pretreatment of the cells, the expression of the marker protein E-cadherin in the EMT process is increased, the expression of the N-cadherin is reduced, the invasion capacity and migration capacity of the cells are effectively reduced, the apoptosis of the cells after the radiation can be promoted, and then the invasive characteristics of the EMT induced by the radiation in the corresponding cells can be recovered; meanwhile, after the cells are pretreated by adopting I3MA, the endogenous factors, secretion factors and transcription factors in the cells are reduced, and the EMT of the corresponding cells can be inhibited. From these results, it can be shown that the use of I3MA has radioprotection against both bronchial epithelial HBE cells and lung cancer A549 cells, and that the use of colorectal cancer HCT cells and breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells is to demonstrate the general applicability of I3MA to radiation damage protection, where I3MA can protect cells from IR-induced morphological changes of cells and reduce IR-induced EMT processes. Whereas the EMT process is an important pathogenesis of tissue fibrosis, it is involved in the onset of fibrotic disease, and thus the present invention employs I3MA to inhibit EMT by cells to alleviate the onset of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
