[Corncornin-3-O-glucoside mediates the NF-κB pathway to inhibit H_2O_2-induced apoptosis]

To study the anti-apoptotic effect of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside(C3 G) on H_2O_2-induced injury in human embryonic kidney(HEK)-293 cells.

Hydrogen peroxide induced injury of HEK-293 cell was used as the research object. HEK-293 cells were pretreated with different concentrations of C3 G(1. 25, 5, 20 μmol/L). The anti-apoptotic effects of C3 G on injured cells were examined by the release rates of LDH and mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP). Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the protein expression and mRNA expression of NF-κB P65.

The result showed that the release rate of LDH was increased, MMP was decreased, the protein and mRNA of P65 was increased after H_2O_2 inducing. Whereas, the release rates of LDH were significantly lower than that of the injured group after 1. 25, 5, 20 μmol/L C3 G pretreatment of injured cells(P<0. 05). The MMP of C3 G group was significantly higher than injured group with concentration-dependent increases. The proteins and mRNA of P65 were also significantly lower than that of injured group(P<0. 05).

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside shows anti-apoptotic effect on H_2O_2-induced injury in HEK-293 cell. The mechanisms of anti-apoptotic effects may be to achieve by protecting cell biofilms, and inhibiting the activity of NF-κB signaling pathway.
