Apoptosis in mtDNA-depleted cells and its transmitochondrial cybrids
Objective To investigate cell apoptosis in mtDNA-depleted SK-Hep1 cells and the transmitochondrial cybrids on the basis of establishment of ρ
0
SK-Hep1 (a mtDNA-depleted cell line derived from human hepatoma cell line SK-Hep1) and the transmitochondrial cybrids
SK-Hep1Cyb. Methods SK-Hep1 cells
ρ
0
SK-Hep1 cells
and the transmitochondrial cybrids were cultured in high-glucose DMEM. Apoptosis was determined by Annexin V/PI assay. Flow cytometry (FCM) and laser scan confocal microscopy were used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) respectively. Western blot analysis was applied to detect Bcl-2 and Bax expressions in the above 3 groups of cells. Distribution of Bcl-2 in the 3 groups was assessed by immunofluorescence analysis. Results Apoptotic ratio of SK-Hep1
ρ
0
SK-Hep1 and SK-Hep1Cyb cells were (2.01±0.11)%
(0.37±0.08)% and (2.10±0.12)%
respectively. ρ
0
SK-Hep1 cells were more counteractive against apoptosis than the other 2 cells (P0.05). Fluorescence intensity of ROS in ρ
0
SK-Hep1 cells was significantly higher than that of the parent cells (35.5 vs 15.6
P0.01)
but the ΔΨm was comparatively lower (55.0 vs 65.9
P0.05)
meanwhile the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was elevated. After transmitochondria to ρ
0
SK-Hep1 cells
the SK-Hep1Cyb cells had all the above reversed. Conclusion mtDNA-depleted cells are more counteractive against apoptosis
and it might be related to the elevated mitochondrial Bcl-2/Bax and ROS.
