目的:探讨高迁移率蛋白族B1(HMGB1)对T细胞的增殖抑制作用及其分子机制。方法:将培养的Jurkat细胞分为对照组、HMGB1(100ng/m1)12、24、48h组,HMGB1组加入HMGB1培养相应时间;将细胞分为对照组、HMGB110、100、1000ng/ml组,予不同浓度HMGB1培养24h;采用细胞计数试剂盒(CCK-8)法检测各组细胞增殖率,采用实时荧光定量-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和Westernblot法检测各组细胞中p53mRNA、磷酸化p53及p53总蛋白的表达水平。将载有p53shRNA、p53mRNA表达序列及空白质料的病毒转染入Jurkat细胞中,并选择100ng/mlHMGB1刺激24h,采用同样方法检测细胞增殖率。最后,将细胞分为正常组、HMGBl组、SB203580[p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38MAPK)抑制剂]+HMGB1组进行相应处理。收集各组细胞,RT—PCR和Westernblot法检测p53mRNA、磷酸化p53及p53总蛋白的表达水平。结果:HMGB1(100ng/m1)刺激细胞24、48h后细胞增殖率降低,较正常组差异有显著性(P〈0.05);100、1000ng/mlHMGB1刺激细胞24h后,增殖率明显下降,与正常组相比差异具有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。HMGB1(100ng/m1)刺激细胞后,p53mRNA、磷酸化及总蛋白表达水平在24、48h逐步上升,且有明显统计学意义(P〈0.05);HMGB1刺激24h,10、100ng/mlHMGB1刺激组细胞p53mRNA、p53磷酸化及总蛋白表达水平较正常组显著上升,但1000ng/mlHMGBl没有明显变化;在不同转染组中,予HMGB1刺激细胞,空载组增殖率降低,而p53shRNA表达组细胞增殖趋于正常,p53tuRNA过表达组增殖率较空载组下降更为明显。Jurkat细胞在p38MAPK阻断剂和HMGB1共同作用后,p53mRNA、磷酸化及总蛋白表达水平比HMGB1刺激组明显下降(P〈0.05)。结论:胞外HMGBI可通过诱导p38MAPK信号通路激活p53蛋白,抑制T细胞增殖。
Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) on T cell proliferation and the regulation mechanisms thereof. Methods: Cultured Jurkat cells were divided into 4 groups: control group, HMGB1 treatment (100 ng/ml) for 12, 24 and 48 hours groups. Cells were also divided into control group, 10, 100 and 1 000 ng/ml HMGB1 treated groups, and then stimulated for 24 hours. Proliferation rates of cells were measured using cell counting kit (CCK-8). The expression levels of p53 mRNA, phosphorylated p53 and p53 protein were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot respectively. Jurkat cells were transfected with lentivirus containing p53 shRNA, p53 mRNA sequence expressing plasmids or control vector. The cells were afterwards stimulated with HMGB1 (100 ng/ml)for 24 hours, and subjected to cell proliferation assay with the same methods mentioned above. In addition, Jurkat cells were divided into 3 groups: control group, HMGB1 group and HMGBl+SB203580 group, and stimulated with indicated reagents for 24 hours. The expression levels of p53 mRNA; phosphorylated p53 and p53 protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results: Compared to the control group, the proliferation rates of cells were decreased after HMGB 1 (100 ng/ml) stimulation for 24 and 48 hours (P〈0.05). In dose-devendent stimulations, nroliferation rates were reduced in treatment with 100 or 1 000 ng/ml HMGB1 groups (P〈0.05). The expression levels of p53 mRNA, phosphorylated p53 and p53 protein increased in cells after stimulation with 100 ng/ml HMGB 1 for 24 and 48 hours (P〈0.05). The expression levels increased obviously in 10 and 100 ng/ml HMGB1 treated cells 24 hours later, but the level was not changed significantly in HMGB1 1 000 ng/ml group. After transfection, the proliferation rates of vector-expressing cells decreased obviously after HMGB1 stimulation. The proliferation of p53 shRNA-expressing cells was basically no
