目的观察肿瘤坏死因子a(TNF—a)对大鼠肺微血管内皮细胞表达白细胞介素17受体C(IL-17RC)的影响及甲泼尼龙的干预作用。方法体外培养肺微血管内皮细胞,根据TNF-a刺激浓度和时间的差异,将肺微血管内皮细胞分为TNF-a量效组和时效组:前者以0、0.1、1、10μg/LTNF—a与肺微血管内皮细胞孵育3h;后者以10μg/LTNF—a分别与肺微血管内皮细胞孵育0、1、3、6、12h。药物干预:分别以10μg/L的TNF.仅和200μg/L甲泼尼龙+10μg/L的TNF-a与肺微血管内皮细胞孵育3h。用反转录-PCR,Western印迹及免疫细胞化学染色法检测IL-17RC表达。反转录-PCR检测TNF-a和甲泼尼龙对肺微血管内皮细胞表达IL-17RCmRNA的影响。结果反转录.PCR和Western印迹均证实肺微血管内皮细胞表达IL-17RC,免疫细胞化学染色发现IL-17RC主要分布在肺微血管内皮细胞胞膜和胞质。量效组IL-17RCmRNA相对表达量随TNF—a浓度(0、0.1、1、10μg/L)增加逐渐升高,分别为:0.241±0.010和0.372±0.017、0.452±0.017、0.643±0.042(F=46.460,P〈O.05)。时效组IL-17RCmRNA相对表达量于lh开始上升(0.417±0.038),3h达峰值(0.674±0.018),之后渐下降(6h:0.378±0.035,12h:0.318±0.032),但均高于孵育0h组(0.197±0.008),各时相组间比较差异均有统计学意义(F=37.903,P〈0.05)。甲泼尼龙显著下调TNF.仪诱导IL-17RCmRNA过度表达(0.333±0.031比0.660±0.026,F=89.637,P〈0.05)。结论IL-17RC主要分布在肺微血管内皮细胞胞膜和胞质;TNF-a刺激诱导肺微血管内皮细胞过度表达IL.17RC;甲泼尼龙抑制TNF—a对肺微血管内皮细胞表达IL-17RC的诱导效应,从而减轻肺微血管内皮细胞的炎症反应。
Objective To explore the effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) or methylprednisolone on the expression of interleukin-17 receptor C (IL-17RC) in rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial ceils (RPMVEC). Methods Culture RPMVEC were randomly divided into dose-dependent and time-dependent groups. In dose-dependent group, cells were cultured with TNF-a (0, 0. 1, 1, 10 μg/L TNF-a) for 3 h. In time-dependent group, cells were cultured with TNF-a ( 10 μg/L) for 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 h. In the drug intervention group, cells were cultured with TNF-a ( 10 μg/L) or methylprednisolone (200 μg/L) +TNF-z (10 μg/L) for 3 h respectively. The expression of IL-17RC in isolated and cultured RPMVEC was identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-FCR), Western blot and immunocytochemistry. The changes of IL-17RC mRNA were detected by RT-PCR after the stimulation of RPMVEC by TNF-a or rnethylprednisolone. Results RT-PCR and Western blot revealed that IL-17RC mRNA and protein were present in RPMVEC. The product of IL-17RC immunocytochemical reaction was predominantly located in cytoplasm and cytomembrane. In RPMVEC TNF-a significantly up-regulated IL- 17RC mRNA in a dose-dependent manner (0 μg/L TNF-agroup: 0. 241±0. 010, 0. 1 μg/L TNF-a group:0. 372 s 0. 017, 1 μg/L TNF-a group. 0. 452 s 0. 017, 10 μg,/L TNF-a group : 0. 643 s 0. 042, F = 33.774, P 〈 0. 05). In time-dependent group, the expression of IL-17RC mRNA rose at 1 h (0. 417 ± 0. 038), peaked at 3 h (0. 674 s0. 018), then decreased gradually at 6 h (0. 378 s0. 035) , but stayed higher at 12 h (0. 318 s0. 032). When compared with 0 h group (0. 197 ±0. 008), there were significant differences (F = 37. 903, P 〈 0. 05 ). Methylprednisolone caused a marked attenuation of TNF-a-induced IL-17RC expression (0. 333 s 0. 031 vs 0. 660 s 0. 026, F = 89. 637, P 〈 0. 05 ). Conclusions IL-17RC is predominantly present in cytomembrane and cytoplasm of RPMVEC. TNF-a up-regulates
