目的:观察X射线照射对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞IL-18表达的影响。方法:昆明种小白鼠80只.随机分为10组(每组8只),即假照组、4个单次低剂量X射线照射组(0.05、0.075、0.1和0.2Gy)和5个单次高剂量X射线照射组(0.5、1.0、2.0、4.0及6.0Gy),X线全身照射(WBI)后16h处死小鼠,取腹腔巨噬细胞,用RPMI 1640培养基,在37℃、5%CO2培养箱中培养72h,留取上清液,采用ELISA法检测小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞IL-18的分泌量。结果:0.05Gy X射线WBI后,IL-18的表达有所增高,检测值为(59.53±3.68)ng·L^-1,与假照组(51.29±3.26)ng·L^-1。比较差异无显著性(P〉0.05);0.075GyX射线WBI后,IL-18的表达量增高至(122.78±8.07)ng·^-1,与假照组比较差异有显著性(P〈0.01);随着X射线辐射剂量增加至0.1、0.2、0.5和1.0Gy,IL-18的表达量增高至(135.32±5.27)、(149.40±16.54)、(200.42±15.42)及(347.59±17.88)ng·L^-1,1.0Gy照射达到峰值,随后IL-18表达呈下降趋势;2.0、4.0及6.0GyWBI后,IL-18的表达量分别为(229.49±14.68)、(253.79±6.69)及(223.32±20.85)ng·L^-1,均高于假照组(P<0.01)。结论:高、低剂量X射线照射均能诱导小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞IL-18的表达。
Objective To observe the effect of X-rays irradiation on IL-18 expression in mouse peritoneal macrophages. Methods Eiyghty Kunming white mice were divided into 10 groups ( eight each group) : shamirradiation, four groups of low-dose irradiation (0.05, 0.075, 0.1 and 0.2 Gy), and five groups of high-dose irradiation (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 Gy). The mice were killed 16 h after whole body irradiation (WBI), with X-rays then the peritoneal macrophages were obtained and cultivated with culture medium of RPMI 1640 in culture box with 37℃, 5% CO2 for 72 h. The supernate was gathered to detect the IL-18 expression level in macrophages by ELISA. Results The IL-18 expresson level in sham-irradiation group was (51.29 ± 3.26 ) ng·L^-1, IL-18 expression was enhanced after 0. 05 Gy WBI, but there was no significant difference (P〉0. 05). The expression level was increased to (122.78±8.07) ng ·L^-1 after 0. 075 Gy WBI, and there was significant difference compared with sham-irridiation group (P〈0.01). IL-18 expression was increased gradually with the enhancement of X-rays irradiated doses (0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 Gy), and the values were (135.32±5.27), (149.40± 16.54).(200. 42±15. 42) and (347.59 ± 17.88) ng·L^-1, respectively. It peaked after 1.0 Gy irradiation, then it decreased after 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 Gy irradiation, and the values were (229.49±14.68), (253. 79 ± 6. 69) and (223.32±20.85) ng·L^-1, respectively, but they were higher than that in sham irradiation group (P〈0.01). Conclusion Both high-dose and low dose X-rays irradiation can stimulate IL-18 expression in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
