摘要:

目的:探讨维生素D(vitamin D, Vit D)对阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer's disease, AD)细胞模型中DNA 甲 基化的影响以及这种影响与AD 病理进程之间的关系,为AD 的预防和治疗提供新的思路和潜在靶点。方法: 使用Aβ1-42(10 μmol·L-1)处理人神经母细胞瘤SH-SY5Y 细胞24 小时构建AD 细胞模型。采用Western blot 法检测p-tau 蛋白表达以验证模型。将细胞分为正常对照组、AD 模型组及Vit D 高、中、低浓度处理组。使用 MTT 法评估Vit D 对细胞增殖的影响。通过Real-time PCR 和Western blot 分别检测DNA 甲基转移酶(DNA methyltransferases, DNMTs)的mRNA 和蛋白表达水平。结果:AD 模型组p-tau 蛋白表达显著增加,Vit D 处理 组细胞增殖率较AD 模型组显著提高,呈剂量依赖性。与AD 模型组相比,Vit D 处理组DNMT1 和DNMT3A 的 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平显著上调。结论:本研究揭示了Vit D 通过上调DNMT1 和DNMT3A 表达,增加DNA 甲基化水平,从而改善AD 细胞模型中的病理改变。该文为理解Vit D 在AD 中的保护机制提供了新的视角,同 时为AD 的预防和治疗策略开发提供了潜在的表观遗传学靶点。

Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of Vitamin D (Vit D) on DNA methylation in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) cell models, and the relationship between these effects and AD pathological progression, to provide new insights and potential targets for AD prevention and treatment. Methods: An AD cell model was constructed by treating human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells with Aβ1-42 (10 μmol·L-1) for 24 hours. Western blot was used to detect p-tau protein expression to validate the model. Cells were divided into normal control group, AD model group, and high, medium, and low concentration Vit D treatment groups. MTT assay was used to evaluate the effect of Vit D on cell proliferation. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expression levels of DNA methyltransferases, respectively. Results: The AD model group showed significantly increased p-tau protein expression. Vit D treatment groups demonstrated significantly improved cell proliferation rates compared to the AD model group, in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the AD model group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of DNMT1 and DNMT3A were significantly upregulated in the Vit D treatment groups. Conclusion: This study reveals that Vit D improves pathological changes in AD cell models by upregulating DNMT1 and DNMT3A expression, thereby increasing DNA methylation levels. This finding provides a new perspective for understanding the protective mechanism of Vit D in AD, while also offering potential epigenetic targets for the development of AD prevention and treatment strategies.
