目的观察高迁移率族蛋白B1(HMGB1)对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞凋亡的影响。方法分离培养小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞,经不同浓度的HMGB1(10、100、1000、10000ng/ml)作用24h,或以10000ng/ml的HMGB1作用不同时间(6、12、24、48h)后,以连接素Ⅴ/放线菌素D双染法,采用流式细胞术和激光扫描共聚焦显微镜检测巨噬细胞凋亡情况。结果经不同浓度的HMGB1刺激24h,其中10000ng/ml组HMGB1诱导巨噬细胞凋亡的作用最强,为(39.84±5.98)%,与对照组(4.49±1.72)%比较,差异具有显著性(P〈0.01)。以10000ng/ml的HMGB1作用巨噬细胞不同时间,其中24h组凋亡率发生最高,为(38.30±6.95)%,显著高于对照组(P〈0.01)。结论HMGB1可诱导小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞凋亡。
Objective To investigate the effect of high mobility group box-1 protein ( HMGB1 ) on apoptosis of macrophages in mice. Methods The peritoneal macrophages were obtained from female BALB/c mice. After exposure to different doses of HMGB1 (10, 100, 1 000, and 10 000 ng/ml) for 24 hours, or exposure to 10 000 ng/ml for different time (6, 12, 24, and 48 hours), cells were stained with Annexin V-PE and 7-amino-actinomycin-D (7-AAD), then determined by flow cytometry and laser scanning confocal microscopy, respectively. Results Exposed to HMGB1 for 24 hours resulted in a dose-dependent induction of apoptosis, with increased levels of apoptosis observed at 100, 1 000, and 10 000 ng/ml compared with controls [(12.91 ±3.89)%, (18.76±3.41)%, and (39.84±5.98)%, respectively, vs. (4.49±1.72)%]. Exposed to HMGB1 at 10 000 ng/ml for 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours showed a time-dependent increase in apoptosis rate [ (18.33 ±4.60)%, (25.02 ±5.27)%, (38.30 ±6.95)%, and (21.81 ±7.96)% ]. The percentage of apoptotic cells markedly increased with a peak value at 24 hours after HMGB1 stimulation ( P 〈 0. 01 ). Conclusion HMGB1 has a proapoptotic effect on murine peritoneal macrophages.
