目的探讨非甲基化的胞嘧啶-磷酸-鸟嘌呤二核苷酸序列(CpG—ODN)对鼠单核-巨噬细胞系RAW264.7 Toll样受体9(TLR-9)的表达及Th1/Th2类细胞因子分泌的影响。方法体外培养小鼠单核-巨噬细胞系RAW264.7细胞,逆转录聚合酶链反应法(RT-PCR)及Western blot检测Cp-ODN,鸟嘌呤胞嘧啶二核苷酸序列(Non—CpG—ODN),CpG—ODN+氯喹刺激24h后巨噬细胞TLR-9的表达,放免法及ELISA法检测刺激前后巨噬细胞上清液中肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-6(1L-6)及白细胞介素-12(IL-12)的表达水平。结果刺激24h后,CpG—ODN与CpG—ODN+氯喹组巨噬细胞TLR-9mRNA及蛋白的表达明显增加(P〈0.01,P〈0.05);细胞上清液中TNF-α水平CpG—ODN组明显高于其他组,差异有显著性(P〈0.05);各组1L-6、IL-12水平无显著性差异(P〉0.05)。结论CpG—ODN刺激可引起鼠巨噬细胞TLR-9表达增高,调节Th1/Th2类细胞因子的分泌。
Objective To investigate the effects on toll like receptor-9 (TLR-9)expression and Th1/Th2 cytokines secretion from mouse macrophages ( RAW264. 7 ) induced by the synthetic oligodeoxynucleoties containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG-ODN). Methods RAW264.7 cells were grown in vitro. Stimulated by CpG-ODN, synthetic oligodeoxynucleoties containing GpC motifs (Non-CpG-ODN) or CpG-ODN + chloroquine for 24 hours, then the expressions of TLR-9 mRNA and protein were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the supernatants of each group were examined by Radioimmunoasssy(RIA) kits and the level of interleukin-12 (IL-12) was analyzed by ELISA. Results After treated for 24 hours, the expressions of TLR-9 mRNA and TLR-9 protein in CpG-ODN group and CpG-ODN + chloroquine group were significantly higher than that in other groups. The level of TNF-α in the supernatant in the CpG- ODN group was higher than that in other groups. The difference between these two groups was significant (P 〈 0. 05). The levels of IL-6 and IL-12 in the supernatants had no significant difference between these groups( P 〉 0. 05). Conclusions CpG-ODN can enhance the expressions of TLR-9 and adjust the expressions of Th1 and Th2 cytokines from macrophages.
