探讨17—β雌二醇(17β-Estradiol,17β-E2)对高同型半胱氨酸(High Homocystine,HHcy)诱导的破骨前体细胞株Raw264.7炎性因子释放的抑制作用.用同型半胱氨酸(Homocystine,Hcy)刺激Raw264.7细胞构建炎症模型,采用四甲基偶氮唑蓝比色法(MIT)检测17β—E2对Raw264.7细胞的活力影响,免疫荧光双标和RT—PCR方法检测不同浓度17β-E2(1,10nmol/L和1μmol/L)对环氧合酶-2(COX-2)和细胞炎性蛋白酶诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)、细胞炎性因子肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和白介素-1β(IL-1β)、炎性信号蛋白核因子-κB(NF—κB)蛋白与mRNA的表达变化.结果发现:不同浓度的17β-E2在翻译水平和转录水平上明显抑制了Hcy诱导的细胞炎性蛋白酶COX-2和iNOS,细胞炎性因子TNF-α和IL-1β与炎性信号蛋白NF-κB的上调,并且COX-2和IL-1β蛋白和mRNA的表达呈剂量依赖性.上述结果表明17β-E2可通过调控Hcy诱导的破骨前体细胞株Raw264.7细胞炎性因子释放从而抑制破骨激活,发挥抗骨质疏松的作用.
To investigate suppressing effects of 17β - Estradiol ( 17β - E2 ) in the activation of Raw 264.7 cells,the cells were treated with 17β -E2 prior to Homocystine (Hcy) exposure,then the effects on the mRNA and protein levels of pro - inflammatory enzymes, cyclooxygenase - 2 ( COX - 2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS), and pro - inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor - α( TNF - α), and interleukin - 1β ( IL - 1β ), inflammatory signaling proteins nuclear factor - κB ( NF - κB) were analysed by reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) and double -immunofluorescence labeling assay,and the effects of 17β - E2 on viability of Raw 264.7 cells were measured by MTT assay. The results showed that 17β - E2 had an effect on COX - 2, iNOS, TNF - α, IL - 1β, NF - κB protein and mRNA expression levels. Arising from the above ,we think 17β -E2 can restrain osteoclasts activity by means of regulation Hcy- induced pro -inflammatory mediators in Raw 264.7 cells, and exert its anti -osteoporosis actions.
