目的研究配对免疫球蛋白样受体B(PIR—B)在小鼠树突细胞(Dc)上的表达及其与免疫耐受的关系。方法DC2.4为C57BL/6小鼠来源的不成熟的DC株。脂多糖(LPS)刺激48h为成熟DC(mDC)。分别以重组小鼠IL-10(rmlL-10)、重组人转化生长因子β1(rhTGFβ1)诱导DC2.4为耐受性DC(T—DC),体外化学合成PIR—B特异性RNA小干扰分子(siRNA),以Lip2000转染DC2.4(si.Dc),分别用半定量RT—PCR、Westernblot检测maiL-10、rhTGFβ1、LPS及PIR—B特异的siRNA对DC2.4上PIR—B表达的变化。以。H—TdR标记检测同种异体淋巴细胞反应(MLR),ELISA法测定MLR上清中IFN-γ的水平变化。结果RT—PCR、Westernblot结果显示DC2.4表达PIR—BmRNA及蛋白相对值为0.51±0.08和0.58±0.23;mlL-10、rhTGFβ1诱导的T—DC上PIR—B的mRNA及蛋白表达相对水平均明显升高,相对值分别为0.85±0.07和0.87±0.14;0.79±0.10和0.85±0.34(P值均〈0.05),LPS刺激的mDCPIR—BmRNA及蛋白表达则降低(0.35±0.10和0.32±0.04,P〈0.05),转染PIR—B特异性siRNA后DC2.4上PIR—B的mRNA及蛋白表达水平也明显受抑,干扰48h后分别下降了78.9%和74.2%(P〈0.05)。正常DC2.4可以刺激异基因淋巴细胞增殖;LPS—DC刺激异基因淋巴细胞增殖的能力明显增强,其反应体系中的IFN-γ水平明显升高;T—DC刺激淋巴细胞增殖的能力明显受到抑制,其反应体系中的IFN-γ水平明显下降;而转染PIR—BsiRNA后,DC刺激淋巴细胞增殖的能力得到明显恢复,其反应体系中的IFN-γ水平明显回升。结论高度表达免疫抑制性受体PIR—B是小鼠DC获得免疫耐受的共同特征及分子机制之一。
Objective To investigate the expression of paired immunoglobin-like receptor B(PIR-B) on dendritic cells (DCs) and its relationship with tolerogenic DCs (T-DCs) in mouse. Methods DC2.4 cells, an immature dendritic cell line derived from C57BL/6 mouse, were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for48 h to induce the mature dendritic cells(mDC) and cultured respectively with the recombined mouse interleukin-10(rmlL-10) or recombined human transforming growth factorβ1 (rhTGF-β1) to develop the tolerogenic dendritic cells (T-DC). Special small interference RNA (siRNA) molecular of PIR-B was chemically synthesized and transfected into DC2.4 cells (si-DC) by lip2000. The expression of PIR-B on DC2.4 cells was measured by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. The allogeneic lymphocyte proliferative capacity of DCs was measured by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) using SH-thymidine incorporation test. The concentration of IFN-γ in supernatants of MLR was analyzed by ELISA. Results Semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot showed that PIR-B mRNA and protein were expressed on DC2.4 cells. RmIL-10 and rhTGF-β1 induced the higher PIR-B mRNA and protein level on T-DCs( Relative values were 0. 51 ± 0. 08 and 0. 58 ± 0. 23 ;0.85 ± 0. 07 and 0. 87 ± 0. 14 ; 0. 79 ± 0. 10 and 0. 85 ± 0. 34, respectively)( P 〈 0. 05 ). LPS down-regulated the PIR-B expression on mDC (0.35 ± 0.10 and 0.32 ± 0.04 ) (P 〈 0.05 ). The PIR-B mRNA and protein expression were inhibited by siRNA transfection ( decreased by 78.9% and 74.2% respectively after 48 h interference) ( P 〈 0.05 ). DC2.4 cells stimulated the proliferation of BALB/c mouse allogenetic spleen cell. The mDC enhanced alloreactivity in MLR and the IFN-γ secretion in supernatants. The T-DCs alleviated the allogenetic spleen cell proliferation( P 〈0.05 ) and IFN-γsecretion in MLR (P 〈 0.05 ). Silence of the PIR-B expression(si-DC)
