Effect of Tangbikang on High Glucose-induced Autophagy in Rat Schwann Cells
Objective: To study the effect of traditional Chinese medicine Tangbikang (TBK) on autophagy in rat Schwann cells with high glucose
in order to verify the autophagy is an important pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Method: The drug-contained serum was prepared by serum-pharmacological method. Rat Schwann cells (RSC) were cultured in vitro. The experiment included 6 groups:normal group (Con
20% normal rat serum)
high-glucose group (Glu
50 mmol·L-1 Glu+20% normal rat serum)
methycobal group (MKB
50 mmol·L-1 Glu+20% rat serum containing methycobal)
high-dose TBK group (TBKH
50 mmol·L-1 Glu+20% rat serum containing TBK)
medium-dose TBK group (TBKM
50 mmol·L-1 Glu+10% rat serum containing TBK+10% normal rat serum); and low-dose TBK group (TBKL
50 mmol·L-1 Glu+2.5% rat serum containing TBK+17.5% normal rat serum). After 48 h
cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method
apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry method
and expressions of autophagy protein Beclin 1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light Chain 3-Ⅱ (LC3 Ⅱ) were detected by Western blot method. Result: High glucose level activated proliferation of RSC (P<0.01)
increased apoptosis rate (P<0.01)
and decreased Beclin 1 and LC3 Ⅱ protein expressions (P<0.01); TBK serum promoted RSC cell proliferation (P<0.01) and apoptosis (P<0.01)
and up-regulated expressions of Beclin 1 and LC3 Ⅱ proteins (P<0.01). Conclusion: TBK could accelerate injured RSC in a high-glucose environment by reducing Schwann cell apoptosis and promoting autophagy.
