摘要
目的:研究内毒素对人外周血淋巴细胞孤啡肽受体(ORL-1)基因表达的影响。方法:以0、0.1、10和100ng/ml终浓度的内毒素刺激的人外周血淋巴细胞中提取的总RNA为模板,采用甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(GAPDH)为内参,逆转录聚合酶链反应技术半定量分析外周血淋巴细胞的ORL-1的mRNA水平,Southern印迹法证实聚合酶链反应产物的特异性。结果:未受刺激时,正常人外周血淋巴细胞孤啡肽受体的mRNA的水平为 1.060±0.390;100ng/ml的内毒素作用3小时,ORL-1基因表达显著抑制(P< 0.05);10ng/ml的内毒素刺激作用6小时,ORL-1的mRNA水平明显下降(P<0.05);0.1ng/ml的内毒素刺激12/小时,ORL-1的mRNA水平呈显著性下降(P<0.05);未受刺激作用的淋巴细胞24小时内,ORL-1的基因表达水平无明显变化(P>0.05)。结论:内毒素抑制人外周血淋巴细胞转录ORL-1的mRNA水平。淋巴细胞ORL-1基因的表达水平与细胞的功能状态有关。孤啡肽可能参与机体的免疫调节。
Objective: To investigate the effects of endotoxin stimulation on the expression of orphan opioid receptor (ORL-1) gene in peripheral blood lymphocyte in vivo. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes, which have been incubated with variable lipopolysaccharide concentrations(0, 0. 1, 10, 100ng/ml) for different periods of time(0, 3, 6, 12, 24h). The level of mRNA was measured with the method of semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) using GAPDH as an internal standard. The specificity of the amplified DNA fragments was verified by Southern blot. Results: The level of ORL-1 mRNA in peripheral blood lymphocyte was 1. 060 ± 0. 390 under the hasal condition. An endotoxin dose-and time-dependent inhibition of ex vivo ORL-1 gene expression in lymphocyte was observed. A significant descrease of the ORL-1 mRNA was detected in lymphocyte at 3 hrs with the stimulation of 100ng/ml of endotoxin, at 6 hrs with the stimulation of 10ng/ml of endotoxin, at 12 hrs with the stimulation of 0.1ng/ml of endotoxin. No significant change of ORL-1 mRNA level was found without the stimulation of endotoxin. Conclusions: Endotoxin inhibits the expression of ORL-1 gene in normal human peripheral blood lytnphocyte. The level of ORL-1 mRNA is related to the functional state of lymphocyte. Nociceptin(OFQ) may have an important immunological function.
