目的 探讨中波紫外线(UVB)辐射对表皮角质形成细胞核因子κB(NF—κB)转录活性的影响。方法 正常人表皮角质形成细胞取自健康儿童包皮,并培养于37℃、5%CO2的培养箱中;以20、60和120mJ/cm^2UVB辐射培养细胞;分别提取UVB辐射0、2、24和48h后角质形成细胞的全细胞蛋白、核蛋白和胞浆蛋白;免疫印迹方法检测分析全细胞蛋白和核蛋白的NF—κB/p65以及胞浆蛋白NF—κB抑制物(IκB—a)的动态变化:电泳迁移率变更分析(EMSA)方法检测分析NF—κB的转录活性。结果 UVB辐射可湿著促进角质形成细胞总蛋白和核蛋白中NF—κB的蛋白表达(P〈0.05),且表达量与辐射剂量成正比,UVB辐射后2h即可有NF—κB的蛋白表达水平的升高,24h后达高峰并持续高水平表达至48h;不同剂量UVB辐射角质形成细胞后的不同时间,均可促进NF—κB转录活性;UVB辐射可显著抑制角质形成细胞胞浆IκB—a蛋白的表达(P〈0.05)。结论 UVB辐射可显著促进角质形成细胞NF—κB的转录活性。
Objective To study the effect of ultraviolet B ( UVB ) irradiation on the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor KB ( NF-κB ) in human epidermal keratinocytes. Methods Normal human epidermal keratinocytes were isolated from healthy children foreskin and cultured at 37℃ in 5% CO2. Cultured keratinocytes were irradiated with UVB at the dose of 20, 60 and 120 mJ/cm^2, respectively. The whole cell, nuclear and cytoplasmic protein of keratinocytes was extracted at 0, 2, 24, and 48 hours after the irradiation. The whole cell and nuclear NF-κB/p65 protein as well as cytoplasmic NF-κB Inhibitor ( IκB-a ) protein were detected by Western blotting. The transcriptional activity of NF-κB was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay ( EMSA ). Resttlts UVB irradiation significantly increased ( P 〈 0.05 ) the protein expression of NF-κB in both the whole cell and the nucleus of keratinocytes in a dose-dependent manner; the increase began at 2 h, peaked at 24 h, and maintained with high expression until 48 h after the irradiation. The transcriptional activity of NF-KB was improved at different time points after UVB irradiation of different doses, while the expression of IκB-a was significantly decreased ( P 〈 0.05 ) by the irradiation. Conclusion UVB irradiation can improve the transcriptional activity of keratinocytes, likely by the degradation of IκB-a.
