目的观察枸橼酸铁铵(FAC)对细胞外α-突触核蛋白(α-syn)作用的C6胶质瘤细胞释放炎性因子的影响。方法分别用α-syn、FAC、α-syn+FAC处理C6细胞,以无血清培养液孵育C6细胞作为对照组,采用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测各组细胞白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)mRNA表达。结果α-syn组细胞IL-1β、TNF-α的表达较对照组显著增加(F=5.43~67.19,q=4.07~16.25,P〈0.05),10μmol/L FAC组细胞二者的表达与对照组比较无明显变化(P〉0.05),100μmol/L FAC组二者的表达较对照组显著增加(q=14.48、4.14,P〈0.05),α-syn+FAC组IL-1β、TNF-α的表达与α-syn组比较无明显变化(P〉0.05)。结论外源性α-syn可以促进C6细胞释放炎性因子,高铁对α-syn引起的炎性因子释放无明显影响。
Objective To examine the effect of ferric ammonium citrate(FAC)on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by C6 glioma cells exposed to extracellularα-synuclein(α-syn). Methods C6 cells were stimulated withα-syn,FAC,α-syn+FAC,or serum-free medium(control).The mRNA expression of intracellular interleukin-1β (IL-1β )and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)was measured using real-time PCR. Results The IL-1β and TNF-αexpression in theα-syn group was significantly higher than that in the control group(F=5.43-67.19,q=4.07-16.25,P〈0.05).On the other hand,while there were no significant differences in IL-1β and TNF-αexpression between the 10μmol/L FAC group and the control group(P〈0.05),IL-1β and TNF-αexpression was significantly enhanced in the 100μmol/L FAC group compared with the control group(q=14.48-4.14,P〈0.05).However,there were no significant differences in IL-1β and TNF-αexpression between theα-syn+FAC group andα-syn group(P〈0.05). Conclusion Extracellularα-syn can stimulate C6 cells to release pro-inflammatory cytokines,which is not affected by the increase in iron levels.
