摘要
目的 观察不同剂量X射线照射后不同时间小鼠脾细胞中调节性T细胞和叉头状转录因子（Foxp3）的表达变化,探讨X射线对调节性T细胞以及相关因子Foxp3的影响.方法 112只雄性ICR小鼠,随机平均分为低剂量（0.075 Gy）组和高剂量（2 Gy）组,用X射线深部治疗机分别进行0.075和2 Gy全身照射,于照射后0、4、8、16、24、48和72 h处死,取脾脏,分别应用流式细胞术和RT-PCR法检测调节性T细胞和Foxp3的表达水平.结果 0.075和2 Gy X射线全身照射后,小鼠脾细胞CD4＋CD25＋Treg细胞百分比均在照射后8 h达高峰,随后一直保持较高水平,高于照射前水平（2 Gy,在8、16、48、72 h时,t=4.65、4.28、3.71、2.88,P＜0.05;0.075 Gy,在8、16、24、72 h时,t=8.73、10.55、4.21、4.65,P＜0.05）.Foxp3在mRNA水平,0.075 Gy照射后变化不明显,而2 Gy照射后于24 h形成峰值.Foxp3在蛋白质水平,0.075 Gy照射后并未有显著变化;而2 Gy照射后于16 h形成峰值,随后略有下降,但仍保持较高水平.结论 调节性T细胞及相关分子Foxp3的不同变化可能成为高、低剂量X射线诱导不同免疫效应的原因之一.
Objective To observe the changes in expressions of spleen regulatory T cells （Tregs）and the related factor forkhead box protein-3 （Foxp3） after irradiation with different doses of X-ray in mice at different times,and to elaborate the effects of X-rays on regulatory T cells and Foxp3.Methods 112male ICR mice were randomly divided into 2 groups and irradiated by X-rays at the doses of 0.075 and 2 Gy,respectively.The mice were killed at 0,4,8,16,24,48,and 72 h post-irradiation and the spleens removed.Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of CD4 ＋ CD25 ＋ Treg and protein expression of （Foxp3）,and RT-PCR was used to exmiamine the mRNA expression of Fox3.Results Compared with those before irradiation,the CD4 ＋ CD25 ＋ Treg positive rates began to increase and peaked at 8 h post-irradiation with 0.075 Gy at 8,16,24,72 h（t = 8.73,10.55,4.21,4.65 ,P ＜ 0.05） and 2 Gy at 8,16,48,72 h（t = 4.65,4.28,3.71,2.88,P ＜ 0.05）,and then slightly decreased,but still remained at high levels.The mRNA protein levels of Fox3 did not change significantly after exposure to the dose of 0.075 Gy,but began to significantly increase at 8 h after exposure to the dose of 2 Gy.However,the Foxp3 protein level began to increase 4 h post-irradiation,peaked at 16 h,and then slightly decreased,but still ramained at high levels （t =2.59,3.37,3.70,3.20,P＜0.05）.Conclusions The changes in expressions of Tregs and Foxp3 after high- and low-dose X-ray irradiation may be used to explain the differences in immune effects induced by ionizing radiation at different doses.
