目的:探讨可溶性Jagged—1/Fc嵌合蛋白(Jagged-1)对重组小鼠粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(rmGM—CSF)和白细胞介素4(rmIL-4)体外诱导小鼠骨髓来源树突状细胞(DC)产生细胞因子的影响。方法:建立rmGM-CSF和rmIL-4体外诱导DC的模型,观察Jagged-1/Fc对DC分化的形态学影响,通过Luminex蛋白液相芯片技术和ELISA检测其细胞因子的表达水平,藉MTT法测定可溶性Jagged-1/Fc诱导的DC对同种异基因淋巴细胞增殖的刺激能力。结果:除了TGF—B,Jag.ged-1/Fc诱导的DC与细菌脂多糖(LPS)或酵母聚糖A诱导的DC不同,表现为生成TNF-α的水平明显降低,IL-4显著增高,而IL-10、IL-6、IL-2、IL-12和IFN-γ的水平与对照组无明显差异。γ分泌酶抑制剂DAPT能逆转Jagged-1/Fc抑制DC生成TNF-仪。混合淋巴细胞反应显示Jagged-1/Fc诱导的DC对T细胞增殖的刺激能力最弱,LPS诱导的DC的刺激能力最强。结论:Jagged-1/Fc诱导的DC倾向介导免疫耐受,指导初始T细胞向Th2细胞偏离。
AIM: To investigate the in vitro effect of soluble Jagged-1/Fc on the cytokine expression of murine myeloid-derived dendritic cells induced by both rmGM-CSF and rmlL-4. METHODS. The DC culture model under rmGMCSF plus rmlL-4 conditions was established. The influences of Jagged-1/Fc on the morphology of DC was checked, and the cytokine expression were analyzed by LuminexTM system and ELISA. The activation capacity of Jagged-1/Fc-induced DC for allogeneic lymphocytes was detected by MTT assay. RESULTS: Compared with LPS or Zymosan A, the amount of IL-4 expression of Jagged-l/Fc-induced DC increased significantly and the amount of TNF-α expression decreased markedly but α-secretase inhibitor DAPT reversed the inhibition of Jagged-1/Fc on TNF-α expression from DC and returned it to the control level. Jagged-l/Fc altered the a- mount of IL-10, IL-6, IL-2, IL-12 and IFN-γ, expression un- conspicuously and had no effect on TGF-α expression. The mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) revealed that Jagged-l/ Fc-induced DC had the weakest ability to activate allogeneic lymphocytes and LPS-induced DC showed the strongest activation ability. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that Jagged-1/Fc-induced DC incline to induce immune tolerance and to prime naive T cells to the Th2 cells.
