目的探讨不同刺激对N9小胶质细胞炎性细胞因子分泌及存活的影响。方法体外培养N9小胶质细胞,分为空白对照组(Control组)、M1型刺激组(LPS+IFN-γ组)、M2型刺激组(IL-4组)。刺激24 h后,通过实时荧光定量PCR及ELISA检测N9小胶质细胞在极化状态下细胞因子的表达;同时体外培养N9小胶质细胞,分为Control组、LPS组、IFN-γ组、LPS+IFN-γ组及IL-4组,通过Hoechst-PI染色的方法检测不同因子对细胞死亡的影响,并用Western blot检测各组Caspase-3的表达。结果 LPS+IFN-γ组N9细胞促炎因子表达明显高于Control组及IL-4组(P〈0.01),IL-4组N9细胞抑炎因子的表达明显高于Control组及LPS+IFN-γ组(P〈0.01)。在细胞存活方面,IFN-γ组及LPS+IFN-γ组N9细胞的死亡数及Caspase-3的表达明显高于Control组、LPS组、IL-4组(P〈0.05,P〈0.01)。结论 N9细胞可发生极化,在不同极化状态表达不同的炎性因子;IFN-γ可影响N9细胞的存活,其可能是通过Caspase-3而导致细胞死亡。
Objective To investigate inflammatory cytokines expression and survival of N9 microglia after different stimulations. Methods In vitro,cultured N9 microglias were divided into a control group,a LPS + IFN-γ stimulation group( M1) and an IL-4 stimulation group( M2). Total RNA were extracted and inflammatory cytokine mRNA were detected through Q-RT-PCR and total culture media were collected to detect the concentration of inflammatory cytokines through ELISA,24 h after stimulation. N9 microglias were divided into a control group,a LPS group,an IFN-γ group,a LPS + IFN-γ group,and an IL-4 group to study the effects of the cytokines on N9 microglia survival. The survival rates of each group were detected through Hoechst-PI staining. The expression of caspase-3 was detected by Western blotting. Results In the aspect of inflammatory cytokines secretion,the cells in group M1 expressed more pro-inflammatory cytokines than those in the control group and group M2(P〈0. 01). The cells in group M2 expressed more anti-inflammatory cytokines than those in the other 2 groups(P〈0. 01). In the aspect of cell survival,we found the cells in the IFN-γ and LPS + IFN-γ groups had lower survival rates and higher caspase-3 expression than those in other groups( P〈0. 05,P〈0. 01). Conclusion N9 microglia can be polarized like macrophages and express different inflammatory cytokines after different stimulations. IFN-γ may affect the survival of N9 microglia though regulating Caspase-3 expression.
