帕金森病(Parkinson’s disease, PD)的发病机制涉及到遗传和环境因素。环境因素通过线粒体导致氧化应激和α- 突触核蛋白(α-synuclein)聚集，但其确切的作用机制尚不明确。本文利用过表达α-突触核蛋白- 增强型绿色荧光蛋白(enhancedgreen fluorescent protein, EGFP)的人多巴胺能神经母细胞瘤细胞株SH-SY5Y 为模型，研究α-突触核蛋白对鱼藤酮诱导氧化应激的影响，从而进一步了解α-突触核蛋白和细胞存活之间的关系。(1)用荧光显微镜观察融合绿色荧光蛋白的α-突触核蛋白的表达情况；(2)用实时定量PCR 检测α-突触核蛋白基因的表达；(3)用免疫细胞化学测定α-突触核蛋白的分布；(4)用不同浓度的鱼藤酮作用细胞后，以MTT 法测细胞的活力、DCF 法检测细胞的氧化应激状态、黄嘌呤氧化酶法检测超氧化物歧化酶的活力，并用流式细胞仪分析细胞的凋亡。实时定量PCR 结果显示，α-突触核蛋白基因表达量在α- 突触核蛋白过表达的细胞要高于SH-SY5Y 细胞，在荧光显微镜下可见绿色荧光蛋白和α-突触核蛋白的表达。鱼藤酮使细胞活力下降、线粒体complex Ⅰ的活性降低，诱导细胞内氧化应激，而过表达α-突触核蛋白的细胞可以部分抵抗鱼藤酮的毒性作用，表现为细胞抗氧化能力迅速增高(P<0.05)和鱼藤酮诱导的细胞凋亡数目明显降低。本研究证明α-突触核蛋白对鱼藤酮产生的氧化应激有部分抵抗作用，而使过表达α-突触核蛋白的SH-SY5Y 细胞对鱼藤酮的毒性作用表现出一定的耐受性。这种耐受性也可能是细胞对外界损害的一种代偿反应，从而促进细胞的存活。

Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Epidemiological studiesshowed that environmental factors shared with the common mechanisms of resulting in α-synuclein aggregation by inhibiting complexI of mitochondria and leading to oxidative stress. To investigate the relationship between α-synuclein and oxidative stress, we used humandopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells transfected with α-synuclein-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). α-synuclein gene expression wasdetermined by immunocytochemistry and real-time quantitative PCR. Both SH-SY5Y and α-synuclein overexpressed SH-SY5Y (SHSY5Y/Syn) cells were treated with various concentrations of rotenone for different time. Cell viability and oxidative stress were detectedby MTT assay and DCF assay. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was assessed with xanthine peroxidase method. Cell apoptosiswas detected with flow cytometry. Results showed that α-synuclein gene was constantly overexpressed in SH-SY5Y/Syn cells. Aftertreatment with rotenone, both cell viability and complex I activity in these cells were reduced in a concentration-dependent manner.Oxidative stress was also found in these cells. Compared with SH-SY5Y cells, SOD activity in SH-SY5Y/Syn cells was increased distinctly (P<0.05) and α-synuclein significantly attenuated rotenone-induced cell apoptosis. These results suggest that the α-synucleinoverexpression in SH-SY5Y cells has a tendency to partially resist oxidative stress induced by rotenone and this response may assistcell survival.
