摘要
本文研究低密度脂蛋白(LDL)对内皮细胞表达促炎性细胞因子白细胞介素6(IL-6)和肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)的影响及17β-雌二醇的保护作用。以体外培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)为模型。将LDL与HUVEC孵育及HUVEC经它莫西芬(Tamoxifen)和/或17β-雌二醇预处理后,再与LDL孵育,检测培养液中IL-6和TNF活性。发现LDL可明显增加内皮细胞表达IL-6和TNF。LDL100μg/ml时,TNF为0.74±0.09(ng/ml),IL-6为9164±739(u/ml),与对照组相比P<001;经17β雌二醇预处理后,细胞在LDL作用下,IL-6和TNF活性与对照组相比无显著差异(P>005);它莫西芬和17β-雌二醇处理后,再加LDL,IL-6和TNF活性增高,与对照组相比有显著差异。实验结果表明:LDL可促进血管内皮细胞高表达促炎性细胞因子IL-6和TNF。雌激素可明显抑制LDL引起的内皮细胞高表达IL-6和TNF,从而产生对内皮细胞的保护作用。此作用可被它莫西芬拮抗。因此雌激素保护内皮细胞的作用,可能部分通过内皮细胞上雌激素受体。
A study on the effects of 17β-estradiol against the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induced by low-density lipoproteins(LDL) on vascular endothelial cells (VECs) was carried out. The level of IL-6 and TNF were measured in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. LDL significantly raise the level of IL-6 and TNF in cultured endothelial cells. In LDL 100μg/ml, TNF activity was 0.74±0.09(ng/ml) and IL-6 activity was 91.64±7.39(u/ml).17β-estradiol can significantly decrease the expression of IL-6 and TNF induced by LDL in cultured endothelial cells. However, when tamoxifen and 17β-estradiol were added at the same time, the level of IL-6 and TNF significantly increased compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). These indicate that the protection of 17β-estradiol on VECs may be through estrogen receptor partially.
