目的:观察壳寡糖对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的猪髋动脉内皮细胞(PIECs)炎症损伤的影响以及潜在的分子机制。方法:以脂多糖(1g/mE)*《激PIECs细胞,建立炎症损伤模型,以RT—PCR和Westernblot的方法观察壳寡糖(COS)预保护PIECs细胞24h,对白介素-8(IL-8)和血管细胞粘附分子.1(VCAM-1)表达水平的影响,以及对JNK信号蛋白磷酸化和c-Fos转录因子表达的影响。结果:壳寡糖可抑制脂多糖刺激的PIECs表达IL-8和VCAM-1,并抑制JNK信号通路的磷酸化和转录因子c-Fos的表达。结论:壳寡糖对脂多糖刺激的PIECs细胞中IL-8和VCAM—1表达的抑制作用是通过抑制上游的JNK信号通路磷酸化和转录因子c-Fos的表达实现的,从而缓解脂多糖对细胞造成的炎症损伤。
Objective: To investigate the effects of Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory damage in porcine iliac endothelial cells (PIECs) and potential machanisms. Methods: PIECs were pretreated with COS for 24 h followed by LPS (1 g/ml) challenge. Then RT-PCR and Western blot were used to observe the actions of COS on expression ofIL-8 (in- terleukin-8) and Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1), phosphorylation ofJNK (Jun N-terminal kinase) signal pathway and activa- tion of nuclear factor c-Fos in LPS-induced PIECs. Results: COS can suppress production of IL-8 and VCAM-1, and can also inhibit phosphorylation of JNK signal pathway and expression of transcription factor c-Fos. Conclusion: COS can exert inhibitory effects on expression of IL-8 and VCAM-1 through blocking phosphorylation of JNK signal protein and production of transcription factor c-Fos upstream in order to inhibit LPS-induced inflammatory injury in PIECs.
