摘要
目的探讨甘露聚糖结合凝集素(MBL)对脂多糖(LPS)刺激的不同分化和活化状态THP1/CD14细胞产生TNF-α和IL-12的影响.方法用PMA和/或IFN-γ诱导不同分化和活化状态的THP1/CD14细胞,以不同浓度人MBL预处理2 h后再用光滑型LPS刺激24h.收集培养上清,以ELISA从蛋白水平分析其TNF-α和IL-12 p40+p70的产生.收集细胞提取总RNA,以RT-PCR从转录水平评估TNF-α和IL-12的表达.结果ELISA检测发现,LPS可刺激各组细胞分泌TNF-α和IL-12 p40+p70;IFN-γ活化的THP1/CD14细胞产生IL-12 p40+p70最高,PMA分化的THP1/CD14细胞最低;PMA分化+IFN-γ活化的THP1/CD14细胞分泌TNF-α最高,未用PMA或IFN-γ预刺激的THP1/CD14细胞最低.高浓度MBL(50~100 mg/L)可抑制LPS诱导细胞分泌TNF-α和IL-12 p40+ p70的作用,低浓度MBL(1~10 mg/L)则几无影响.RT-PCR分析亦显示,与相应只用LPS刺激的实验组相比,高浓度MBL(50 mg/L)对不同实验组LPS诱导的TNF-α、IL-12 p35和p40的mRNA表达均有不同程度的抑制作用.结论MBL可抑制LPS诱导的不同分化和活化状态THP1/CD14细胞产生TNF-α和IL-12,THP1/CD14细胞可用做进一步剖析MBL在免疫应答与细胞因子网络调控中的作用及其机理的模型.
Objective To investigate the effects of mannan-binding lectin (MBL) on TNF-α and IL-12 production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in differentiated and activated THP1/CD14 cells. Methods The differentiated and activated THP1/CD14 cells were induced by PMA and/or IFN-γ and were stimulated for 24 h with smooth LPS after pretreatment with human natural MBL at concentration ranging from 1 to 100 mg/L for 2 h. The content of TNF-α and IL- 12 p40 + p70 in culture supernatants were detected by ELISA and the levels of TNF-α, IL-12 p35 and p40 mRNA expressions in these cells were determined by RT-PCR. Results ELISA showed that the secretion of TNF-α and IL-12 p40+ p70 from THP1/CD14 cells in different states can be induced by LPS. The maximal amount of IL-12 p40+ p70 was detected in the culture supematants of THP1/CD14 cells activated by IFN- γ and the nunimum in those of PMA-differentiated THP1/CD14 cells. The highest level of TNF-α was found in the culture supernatants of THP1/CD14 cells differentiated by PMA and activated by IFN-γ and the lowest in those of THP1/CD14 cells without PMA or IFN-γ stimulation . The productions of TNF-α and IL-12 p40 + p70 by differently differentiated and activated THP1/CD14 cells induced with LPS are profoundly inhibited by MBL at higher concentrations (50-100 mg/L) but not MBL at lower concentrations ( 1-10 mg/L). RT-PCR analysis also indicated that the mRNA expressions of TNF-α and IL-12 p35 and p40 subunits in THP1/CD14 cells decreased to various extents by MBL at higher concentration , compared to the corresponding THP1/CD14 cells stimulated with LPS alone. Conclusion MBL may inhibit TNF-α and IL-12 production induced by LPS from differentiated and activated THP1/CD14 cells and THP1/CD14 cells can be used as an appropriate cell model for further exploring the molecular mechanism of MBL in immune regulation and the signaling pathways involved in cytokines network.
