目的探讨NADPH氧化酶对培养的小鼠血管平滑肌细胞(vascularsmoothmusclecell,VSMC)Toll样受体4(Toll—likereceptor4,TLR4)介导的炎症表型中的作用。方法分别采用NADPH氧化酶激动剂血小板衍生生长因子-BB(platelet—derivedgrowthfactor—BB,PDGF-BB)和抑制剂夹竹桃麻素(apocynin)处理培养的C57BL/6J和TLR4-/-小鼠胸主动脉VSMC。分别采用荧光探针二氯荧光素双醋酸盐染色法检测VSMC内活性氧(reactiveoxygenspecies,ROS)含量,酶联免疫吸附法检测VSMC白细胞介素(interleukin,IL)-6、IL-1β和肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumornecrosisfactor—α,TNF—α)表达,四甲基偶氮唑蓝染色法和Boyden小室检测VSMC的增殖和迁移。结果PDGF-BB处理可显著增高C57BL/6J和TLR4-VSMC内ROS含量,而夹竹桃麻素可抑制ROS生成。PDGF.BB处理可使C57BL/6JVSMCIL-6[(52.69±3.49)ng/ml对(35.04±2.74)rig/ml,P=0.001]、IL-1B[(79.68±2.33)ng/ml对(62.38±0.54)ng/ml,P=0.000]和TNF-α[(218.35±5.42)ng/ml对(124.74±4.59)ng/ml,P=0.000]表达显著上调,增殖(1.69±0.53对1.04±0.40,P=0.000)和迁移(42.11±4.05对1.69±0.53,P=0.000)能力均显著增强,而夹竹桃麻素预处理则可显著抑制VSMCIL-6[(42.11±4.05)ng/ml对(52.69±3.49)ng/ml,P=0.010]、IL-1B[(67.57±1.36)ng/ml对(79.68±2.33)ng/ml,P=0.000]和TNF-α[(156.18±6.98)ng/ml对(218.35±5.42)ng/ml,P=0.000]表达以及增殖(1.23±0.42对1.69±0.53,P=0.000)和迁移(42.11±4.05对52.69±3.49,P=0.000)。TLR4-VSMC经PDGF—BB和夹竹桃麻素处理后,IL-6、IL-1β和TNF-α表达以及增殖和迁移能力均无显著变化。结论NADPH氧化酶衍生的ROS参与了TLR4介导的VSMC炎症表型以及增殖和迁移,可能是其影响动脉粥样硬化发生和发展的重要机制。
Objective To investigate the effect of the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated proinflammatory phenotype of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in mice.Methods NADPH oxidase agonist platelet-derived growth factor- BB (PDGF-BB) and inhibitor apocynin were used respectively to treat cultured VSMCs from C57BL/6J and TLR4-/- mice. The fluorescent probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate was used to detect the reactive oxyen species (ROS) level in VSMCs. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the expressions of interletddn (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α in VSMCs. Tetrazolium blue staining and Boyden chamber assay were used to detect the proliferation and migration of VSMC. Results TheROS levels were increased in VSMCs both from C57BL/6J and TLR4-/- mice after PDGF-BB treatment, and this could be inhibited by apocynin. PDGF-BB pretreatment sigfificantly upregulated the expressions of IL-6 (52. 69±3.49 ng/ml vs. 35. 04 ±2. 74 ng/ml; P =0. 001), IL-1β (79. 68 ±2. 33 ng/ml vs. 62. 38 ±0. 54 ng/ml; P=0.000), and TNF-a (218.35± 5.42 ng/mlvs. 124.74±4.59 ng/ml; P= 0.000) in VSMCs from C57BL/6J mice, and the abilities of proliferation (1.69 ± 0. 53 vs. 1.04 ±0. 40; P = 0. 000) and migration (42. 11 ±4. 05 vs. 1.69 ± 0. 53; P = 0. 000) were increased significantly; apocynin pretreatment significantly inhibit the expressions of IL-6 (42. 11 ± 4. 05 ng/ml vs. 52. 69 ± 3.49 ng/ml; P = 0. 010), IL-1β (67. 57 ± 1.36 ng/ml vs. 79. 68 ±2. 33 ng/ml; P = 0. 000) and TNF-α (156. 18 ±6. 98 ng/ml vs. 218. 35 ± 5.42 ng/ml; P =0. 000), as well as proliferation (1.23 ±0. 42 vs. 1.69 ±0. 53; P =0. 000) and migration (42. 11 ±4. 05 vs. 52. 69±3.49; P = 0. 000). While there were no significant changes in the expressions of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in VSMCs from TLR4 /- mice after PDGF-BB and apocynin pretreatment. Conclusions N
