OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of tea polyphenols (TP) on aspirin-induced injury of human gastric epithelial cells GES-1 and its molecular mechanism. METHODS GES-1 cells were treated with aspirin (19.27 mmol·L-1) and different concentrations of tea polyphenols (50, 100, 200 μmol·L-1) for 24 h. GES-1 cells were randomly divided into control group, aspirin group(19.27 mmol·L-1), aspirin 19.27 mmol·L-1+TP 50 μmol·L-1 group, aspirin 19.27 mmol·L-1+TP 100 μmol·L-1 group, aspirin 19.27 mmol·L-1+TP 200 μmol·L-1 group. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) was used to detect the survival rate of GES-1 cells. Flow cytometry and TUNEL assay were used to detect apoptosis of GES-1 cells. Dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent probe was used to detect the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) of GES-1 cells. Corresponding kits were used to detect the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) of GES-1 cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of B-lymphocytoma-2 (Bcl-2), B-lymphocytoma-2-associated X protein (Bax), nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme monooxygenase 1 (HO-1) of GES-1 cells. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate, apoptosis index, ROS, MDA levels, nuclear Nrf2/ cytoplasmic Nrf2 ratio, Bax, and HO-1 protein expression levels of GES-1 cells in 19.27 mmol·L-1 aspirin group were significantly increased, while the cell survival rate, Bcl-2 protein expression level, SOD and CAT levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with 19.27 mmol·L-1 aspirin group, the apoptosis rate, apoptosis index, ROS, MDA levels and Bax protein expression levels in aspirin 19.27 mmol·L-1+TP (50, 100, 200 μmol·L-1)groups were significantly decreased, while the cell survival rate, nuclear Nrf2/cytoplasmic Nrf2 ratio, Bcl-2, Nrf2, HO-1 protein expression levels, SOD and CAT levels were significantly increased (P<0.05).CONCLUSION Tea polyphenols can alleviate aspirin-induced GES-1 cell damage, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway and the inhibition of mitochondrial pathway mediated apoptosis.
