目的:探讨大肠杆菌表达的人源可溶性B淋巴细胞激活因子hsBAFF对小鼠脾脏B淋巴细胞免疫反应及其对胞内游离Ca^2+信号变化的影响。方法:选择20只健康ICR小鼠,雌雄各半,随机分成两组(n=10):①对照组;②hsBAFF实验组。实验组小鼠腹腔注射含hsBAFF(0.1mg/kgbw)的PBS溶液,对照组注射同等剂量的PBS溶液.连续8d。用MTT法检测小鼠脾脏B淋巴细胞的增殖及其对LPS刺激的免疫反应,并用激光共聚焦显微镜分析脾脏B淋巴细胞胞内钙离子水平([Ca^2+]i)变化。结果:hsBAFF注射小鼠的脾脏B淋巴细胞增殖和对LPS刺激的免疫反应均明显高于对照组(P〈0.05);hsBAFF注射组[Ca^2+]i荧光强度维持在相对稳定的高水平上波动,平均荧光强度显著高于对照组(P〈0.01),且荧光强度变化率小于对照组。结论:大肠杆菌表达的hsBAFF能促进B淋巴细胞的增殖和免疫应答,从而增强机体免疫功能。hsBAFF激活小鼠脾脏B淋巴细胞可能与[Ca^2+]i升高有关。
To investigate effects of hsBAFF synthesized in Escherichia coli on spleen B lymphocyte immune response and its intracellular free Ca^2 + ([ Ca^2 + ]i) signaling in mice. Methods: Twenty ICR mice, half males-half females, were chosen and randomly divided into a normal control group( n= 10) and a hsBAFF treatment group( n= 10). The mice in hsBAFF treatment group were given abdominal cavity injection of hsBAFF ,solution which was diluted with phosphate buffered ,saline(PBS) at dosage of 0.1 mg/kg body weight once each day for over eight days. The mice in control group were received abdominal injection of PBS at the same dose and frequency. Spleen B lymphocyte proliferation and its immune response to LPS stimulation in mice were evaluated using an MTT assay, and change of spleen B lymphocyte[Ca^2+ ]i was assayed under a laser scanning confocal microscope. Results: B lymphocyte pro- liferation and its immune response to LPS stimulation were significantly higher in hsBAFF-treated mice than in control mice (P 〈 0.05). The B lymphocyte [ Ca^2 + ]i fluorescence intensity in hsBAFF-treated mice maintained at a relatively high level fluctuation, and its average intensity was significantly higher to that of control mice (P 〈 0.01 ), but change rate of the intensity was lower compared to that of control group. Conclusion: hsBAFF synthesized in Escherichia coli can enhance immune function in the body by increasing B lymphocyte proliferation and its immune response, hsBAFF-activated B lymphocyte function may be associated with in creasing B lymphocytes[ Ca^2+ ]i.
