目的:探讨单独或共同表达视黄酸早期转录因子1ε(retinoic acid early transcript 1ε,RAE1ε)和膜型IL-15的B淋巴细胞BaF3对小鼠产生IFN的杀伤性DC(IFN producing killer DC,IKDC)功能分子表达的影响。方法:以小鼠原B淋巴细胞株BaF3为基础,分别构建表达膜型IL-15的BaF3-mb15细胞和表达RAE1ε的BaF3-RAE细胞及同时表达膜型IL-15和RAE1ε的BaF3-mb15-RAE细胞。通过体外细胞因子诱导产生骨髓来源的小鼠成熟DC,将丝裂霉素灭活后的3株BaF3工程细胞株作为刺激细胞,分别与DC共培养,流式细胞术检测其对DC中CD11clowB220+NK1.1+IKDC比例和DC表面CD40、CD80表达的影响。流式细胞术分选DC中的IKDC,将丝裂霉素灭活后的3株BaF3工程细胞株与其共培养24 h,流式细胞术检测共培养对IKDC表面CD40、CD80、CD86、NKG2D、MHCⅡ类分子、CD107a和FasL表达的影响。结果:成功获得骨髓来源的小鼠成熟DC。与BaF3-mb15细胞和BaF3-RAE细胞相比,BaF3-mb15-RAE细胞刺激显著提高DC中IKDC比例[(50.0±5.6)%vs(30.3±8.2)%、(36.0±4.6)%,均P〈0.05],并且有效刺激IKDC表面CD40(180.1±28.2 vs 44.7±7.8、36.0±3.1,P〈0.01)和FasL(P〈0.05)表达上调;与BaF3细胞和BaF3-mb15细胞相比,BaF3-mb15-RAE细胞有效刺激IKDC表面CD80(P〈0.05)表达上调,而3株BaF3工程细胞刺激均不影响DC表面CD40、CD80的表达(P〉0.05);同时,3株BaF3工程细胞对IKDC表面CD86、MHCⅡ类分子、NKG2D和CD107a的表达也没有显著影响(P〉0.05)。结论:RAE-1ε和膜型IL-15协同作用可促进IKDC增殖并诱导其高表达CD40和FasL。
Objective: To study the effects of murine bone marrow-derived pro-B( BaF3) cells overexpressing membrane-bound form of IL-15( mbIL-15) and retinoic acid early transcript 1ε( RAE1ε),either each alone or two in combination,on the expression of functional molecules in murine interferon producing killer dendritic cells( IKDCs) in vitro.Methods: Clones of BaF3 cells overexpressing mbIL-15,RAE1ε or both mbIL-15 and RAE1ε were established and inactivated by mitomycin. Mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated and induced into mature DCs by GM-CSF and IL-4. Mature DCs were co-cultured with the three mitomycin inactivated-BaF3 derivatives respectively. At 24 and 72 hours after co-culture,the percentage of CD11clowB220+NK1. 1+IKDCs and levels of CD40 and CD80 in DCs and levels of CD40,CD80,CD86,NKG2 D,MHC class Ⅱ molecule,CD107 a and FasL in IKDCs were determined by flow cytometry.Results: BaF3 cells overexpressing both mbIL-15 and RAE were more effective than BaF3 cells overexpressing mbIL-15 or RAE alone to stimulate the DC to IKDC conversion( [50. 0 ± 5. 6]% vs [30. 3 ± 8. 2]%,[36. 0 ± 4. 6]%,P 0. 05).IKDCs co-cultured with BaF3 cells overexpressing mbIL-15 and RAE had higher levels of CD40( 180. 1 ± 28. 2 vs 44. 7 ±7. 8,36. 0 ± 3. 1,P 0. 01) and FasL( P 0. 05) as compared to IKDCs co-cultured with mbIL-15- or RAE-overexpressing BaF3 cells. IKDCs co-cultured with BaF3 cells overexpressing mbIL-15 and RAE had higher levels of CD80( P 0. 05) as compared to IKDCs co-cultured with BaF3 cells or mbIL-15-overexpressing BaF3 cells. In contrast,co-culture with BaF3 derivatives showed no effects either on CD40 and CD80 expression in DCs( P 0. 05) or on CD86,MHC classⅡ molecule,NKG2 D and CD107 a expression in IKDCs. Conclusion: IL-15 combined with RAE1ε may promote the proliferation and CD40 and FasL expression in IKDCs.
