目的:研究17-β-雌二醇联合HMGB1的过表达对人单核细胞系THP1细胞细胞周期和NF-κB转录因子的影响。方法:血清饥饿法同步化细胞周期后,利用脂质体法将pFLAG-CMV-HMGB1转染THP1细胞;10-9mol/L17-β-雌二醇刺激同步化THP1细胞16、30小时后,流式细胞术检测细胞周期分布,RT-qPCR检测Cyclin A、Cyclin D1的mRNA表达水平,免疫印迹检测HMGB1蛋白的表达;荧光素酶报告基因检测NF-κB的活性。结果:HMGB1过表达的THP1细胞中HMGB1蛋白的表达水平比正常THP1细胞要高3.7倍,血清饥饿法成功将THP1细胞周期同步化,同步化后G0/G1期细胞百分数由53%上升到78%;17-β-雌二醇刺激HMGB1过表达细胞30小时后出现Cyclin AmRNA表达上升为原来的7.9倍,而Cyclin D1 mRNA表达明显下降,G1期细胞百分比由53.11%下降为33.33%,S期细胞百分比由35.43%上升为53.91%,此改变在刺激后30小时达到最大值;NF-κB活性在17-β-雌二醇刺激HMGB1过表达细胞明显升高,且时间上提前于细胞周期动力学改变。结论:雌激素对THP1细胞周期调节依赖HMGB1,NF-κB可能参与其中。
Objective:To research the effect of 17-β-estradiol allying with HMGB1 overexpression on the cell cycle and NF-κB signal pathway of human monocytes lines THP1 cells.Methods:The HMGB-1 expression vector was transfected into THP1 cells after cell cycle synchronization by serum starvation;Synchronized THP1 cells were stimulated by 10-9 mol/L 17-β-estradiol for 16 h and 30 h,the cell cycle phase distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry,and the mRNA expression level of Cyclin A and Cyclin D1 were analyzed by RT-qPCR,and the expression level of HMGB-1 protein was analyzed by western blot,and the activity of NF-κB was analyzed by luciferase reporter gene.Results:The HMGB1 protein level in the transfected cells increased 3.7-fold compared to the normal THP1 cells,and THP1 cells were synchronized by serum starvation successfully and the proportion of cells in the G1 phase increases from 53% to 78% after synchronization;After HMGB1 overexpression cells stimulated by 17-β-estradiol for 30h,mRNA level of Cyclin A increased 7.9-fold compared to the control group while Cyclin D1 mRNA level decreased by 41%,as well as the proportion of cells in the G1 phase decreased from 53.11% to 33.33% and that in the S phase increased from 35.43% to 53.91%,and this difference arrived to the maximum at 30h after stimulation;The activity of NFκB in HMGB1 overexpressed cells increased obviously after stimulated by estrogen,and this effection is ahead of the change of cell cycle kinetics.Conclusion:The regulation of estrogen to THP1 cell cycle is dependent on HMGB1,and NF-κB appears to be involved in this procedure.
