去氫表雄酮;子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞;蛻膜細(xì)胞反應(yīng);蛻膜催乳素相關(guān)蛋白
蛻膜化是子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞分化為蛻膜細(xì)胞的過(guò)程,對(duì)胚胎著床和妊娠有重要作用[1,2]。去氫表雄酮(DHEA)是人體最豐富的甾體激素,具有調(diào)節(jié)血管內(nèi)皮細(xì)胞功能、改善胰島素敏感性、改善中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)功能、調(diào)節(jié)免疫及血脂代謝等多種生物學(xué)效應(yīng)[3]。國(guó)外研究[4]證實(shí)高濃度(50、100 μmol/L)DHEA可抑制子宮內(nèi)膜蛻膜化,不利于胚胎著床和妊娠。2013年9月~2015年7月,我們觀察了不同濃度DHEA對(duì)體外蛻膜化小鼠子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞增殖及蛻膜化標(biāo)志物[5]蛻膜催乳素相關(guān)蛋白(Dtprp)mRNA表達(dá)的影響,現(xiàn)報(bào)告如下。

DHEA主要在人腎上腺皮質(zhì)網(wǎng)狀帶合成,大部分以硫酸去氫表雄酮的形式進(jìn)入血循環(huán)。DHEA有廣泛的生物學(xué)效應(yīng)。蛻膜化是子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞分化為蛻膜細(xì)胞的過(guò)程。研究[2]證實(shí),蛻膜組織能提供胚胎發(fā)育所需的生長(zhǎng)因子和細(xì)胞因子,調(diào)節(jié)滋養(yǎng)細(xì)胞侵襲,并發(fā)揮免疫調(diào)節(jié)作用。有研究[8]指出,DHEA可用于絕經(jīng)后女性預(yù)防骨質(zhì)疏松及改善陰道萎縮的替代治療。也有學(xué)者[9]將DHEA用于卵巢低反應(yīng)性患者從而改善卵巢反應(yīng)性,但效果和安全性有待進(jìn)一步驗(yàn)證。
正常人血清DHEA水平一般在30 nmol/L以下[10],多囊卵巢綜合征患者血清DHEA水平可達(dá)正常人的2倍。國(guó)外研究顯示,100 μmol/L DHEA可抑制腎上腺髓質(zhì)祖細(xì)胞增殖,而0.1、1、10 μmol/L DHEA對(duì)細(xì)胞活性無(wú)顯著影響[11]。藥理濃度(1~200 μmol/L)的DHEA可抑制HepG2細(xì)胞系增殖,而生理濃度(1 μmol/L以下)的DHEA可促進(jìn)細(xì)胞增殖[12]。有學(xué)者[4]發(fā)現(xiàn),10 μmol/L及以上濃度的DHEA可抑制細(xì)胞葡萄糖-6-磷酸脫氫酶的活性。我們推測(cè)不同濃度DHEA對(duì)子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞葡萄糖-6-磷酸脫氫酶活性的抑制作用存在差別。
本研究利用原代分離培養(yǎng)的小鼠子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞,在培養(yǎng)液中加入雌、孕激素誘導(dǎo)蛻膜化,發(fā)現(xiàn)不同濃度DHEA對(duì)小鼠子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞增殖和體外蛻膜化的影響程度不同。實(shí)驗(yàn)3、4組Dtprp mRNA相對(duì)表達(dá)量及細(xì)胞增殖能力低于模型組,細(xì)胞呈多角形、胞質(zhì)減少,提示0.1、1 μmol/L DHEA不抑制子宮內(nèi)膜基質(zhì)細(xì)胞增殖和體外蛻膜化,而10、50 μmol/L DHEA則可明顯抑制細(xì)胞增殖及體外蛻膜化。我們推測(cè),人在疾病狀態(tài)下補(bǔ)充DHEA可能不會(huì)對(duì)子宮內(nèi)膜蛻膜化產(chǎn)生影響。然而,DHEA的生理功能及作用機(jī)制仍未完全闡明,上述結(jié)論仍需要進(jìn)一步去證實(shí)。

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of different concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on proliferation and decidual prolactin-related protein (Dtprp) mRNA expression of decidualized endometrial stromal cells in mice.MethodsPrimary endometrial stromal cells were isolated and cultured in vitro from mice on day 4 of pregnancy.The cells were divided into the experimental group 1,group 2,group 3,group 4,model group and control group.The experimental groups and the model group were treated with estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) to induce in vitro decidualization.The experimental groups 1,2,3 and 4 were exposed to 0.1,1,10 and 50 μmol/L DHEA,respectively.The control group was not treated with E2,P4and DHEA.The expression of Dtprp mRNA was detected by real-time PCR after 72-hour culture.Morphological changes were observed under inverted microscope after 24 and 48 h.The cells of the experimental groups and model group were cultured in 96-well plates except the blank wells.The cell proliferation ability was measured using a cell counting kit-8 after 72 h.ResultsThe relative expression of Dtprp mRNA in the experimental groups 1,2,3 and 4 was 0.978 0±0.258 0,0.764 0±0.135 0,0.250 0± 0.022 0 and 0.013 0±0.000 0,respectively; while that in the model group and control group was 1.000 0±0.000 0 and 0.000 2±0.000 0.The expression of Dtprp mRNA in both group 3 and group 4 was lower than that of the model group (all P<0.05).Significant difference was found between the experimental group 2 and group 4 (P<0.05).The cells in the control group showed a fibroblast-like appearance.Cells in the model group enlarged and had an increased amount of cytoplasm.The appearance of cells in the experimental group 1 and group 2 was similar to that of the model group.Cells in the experimental group 3 and 4 became polygonal with less cytoplasm.The corrected absorbance of the experimental groups 1,2,3,4,model group and backgroud absorbance were 1.222 8± 0.038 2,0.790 5±0.207 1,0.592 5±0.229 8,0.265 8±0.037 4,1.149 7±0.106 2 and 0.087 1±0.006 3,respectively.Significant difference was found between experimental groups 3,4 and the model group,between experimental group 1 and groups 2,3 and 4,between experimental group 2 and group 4 (all P<0.05).ConclusionThe proliferation and Dtprp mRNA expression of mouse endometrial stromal cells are not significantly affected by 0.1 and 1 μmol/L DHEA,while 10 and 50 μmol/L DHEA inhibits cell proliferation and down-regulates Dtprp mRNA expression.
