目的:探讨人类吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶(IDO)对细胞表面HLA-I类分子的影响。方法:用脂质体法将含IDO基因的重组质粒pEGFP-IDO转染293T细胞,用Western blot检测IDOGFP在转染细胞中的表达,荧光抗体染色结合流式细胞术检测细胞表面的HLA-I类分子的表达。结果:Western blot证实转染重组质粒的细胞表达IDO。转染空载体的细胞与转染重组质粒的细胞HLA-A,B,C-PE染色的平均荧光强度分别为299.46±62.65及42.51±8.19,两者相比有显著性差异(P〈0.01);转染重组质粒的细胞,未加色氨酸组与色氨酸组HLA-A,B,C-PE染色的平均荧光强度分别为309.17±34.89及692.12±33.42,两者相比亦有显著性差异(P〈0.01)。结论:IDO下调细胞表面HLA-I类分子的表达,色氨酸能够逆转IDO所致的HLA-I类分子的下调。
Aim: To investigate the effect of human IDO on the expression of cell surface MHC class I antigen. Methods: The 293T cells were transfected with pEGFP-N1 and pEGFP-IDO plasmids respectively by lipefectamine method. The expression of IDO in 293T cells transfected with recombinant plasraids was determined by Western blot. The expression of cell surface HI.,A-A, B, C molecules was tested in cells transfected with corresponding plasmids by flow cytometry analysis. Results: The IDO was expressed in 293T cells transfected with recombinant plasmid. The value of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for HLA-A,B,C staining were 299.46 ±62. 65 and 42. 51 ±8. 19 in cells transfected with GFP or IDO-EGFP, and the value were 309. 17 ±34. 89 and 692. 12 ±33.42 in IDOGFP transfected cells with or without tryptophan respectively. There are significant difference of MFI staining between the cells trans- fected with vector and with IDO-EGFP (P 〈 0. 01 ), and in IDO-EGFP transfected cells with or without tryptophan (P 〈0. 01 ). Conclusion: Human IDO down regulates the expression of cell surface HLA-I molecules and tryptophan can counteract this effect.
