目的 了解稀土元素镧对内毒素/脂多糖(LPS)诱导的小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞(Mφ)核因子KB(NF-κB)活化的影响,并探讨其机制。方法分离培养小鼠腹腔Mφ,分为:空白对照组,无刺激因素:LPS组,用1μg/mlLPS刺激30min;镧离子(La^3+)组,用2,5μmol/L La^3+刺激30min;La^3++LPS组,先后用2,5-μmol/L La^3+、1μg/ml LPS各刺激30min;La^3+/L PS组,2.5μmol/L La^3+刺激30min后,洗涤细胞,再加入1μg/ml LPS刺激30min。采用细胞免疫荧光染色法观察NF-κB在各组细胞中的分布与表达;酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法检测胞核中NF-κB/p65蛋白活性;蛋白质印迹法检测细胞核内NF-κB/p65蛋白及胞质中核因子抑制蛋白α(IκBα)的表达量。ELISA法测定各组细胞培养上清液中肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)的含量。结果 (1)免疫荧光染色显示,空白对照组、La^3+组、La^3++LPS组和La^3+/LPS组M小绿色荧光多分布于胞质,胞核荧光强度分别为42±7、73±30、48±11和67±19;LPS组绿色荧光集中于胞核,荧光强度为116±14,明显高于其余4组(P〈0.01)。(2)胞核NF-κB/p65蛋白活性:LPS组吸光度值为0.435±0.066,与空白对照组(0.048±0.027)、La^3+组(0.062±0.049)、La^3++LPS组(0.066±0.031)、La^3+/LPS组(0.108±0.017)比较.明显偏高(P〈0.01)。(3)LPS组M由胞核NF-κB/p65蛋白表达水平明显高于其余4组,胞质IκBα蛋白表达水平明显低于其余4组。(4)TNF-α含量:La^3+组培养上清液中TNF-α含量低于试剂盒检测下限(25pg/m1)及空白对照组(P〈0.05),La^3++LPS组和La^3+/LPS组低于LPS组(P〈0.01),但高于空白对照组。结论 LPS可激活小鼠腹腔M由NF-κB/p65核移位,并使胞核中NF-κB/p65的表达量和活性升高、胞质IκBα蛋白表达下调,导致TNF-α分泌增多。镧可抑制上?
Objective To investigate the influence of lanthanum on lipopolysaccharide(LPS) induced NF-κB activation in murine peritoneal macrophage. Methods Peritoneal macrophages were isolated and cultured by routine method, and randomly divided into 5 groups: i. e, control group, LPS group( with LPS stimulation for 30 rain) , La^3+ group (with 2.5μmol/L La^3+ group for 30 min) , La^3+ + LPS group( with 1 μg/ml LPS stimulation for 30rain after 30 rain incubation with DMEM-FI2 containing 2.5μM of lanthanum. ) ; La^3 +/LPS group ( with 2.5 μM of lanthanum stimulation for 30min, and then with 1μg/ml of LPS for another 30 min after lanthanum was removed. The location of NF-κB p65 subunit ( NF-κB/p65 ) in Mφ was detected by immunofluorescence and fluorescence microscope. The binding activity of NF-κB/p65 with DNA in nuclei was detected by TransAMTM NF-κB/p65 Transcription Factor assay kit. Meanwhile, the expression of NF-κB/p65 in nuclei, as well as IκBα in cytoplasm was measured by Western blotting. TNF-α content in culture supernatant were detected by ELISA. Results (1) The green fluorescence in control, La^3+ ,La^3+ LPS and La^3+/LPS groups was mainly located in cytoplasm, while that in LPS group was loca ted in nuclei. The fluorescent intensity in LPS group was (116 ± 14) , which was obviously higher than that in other4 groups (42 ±7,73 ±30,48 ±ll and 67±19, respectively, P 〈0.01). (2) The IκBα protein level in cytoplasm in control(0.048±0.027) , La^3+ group (0.062 ±0.049) , La^3 + LPS group(0. 066± 0. 031 ) and La^3+/LPS group(0. 108 ±0. 017 )was significantly lower than that in LPS group (0. 435±0. 066, P 〈 0.01 ). (3) The expression and activation of nucleus p65 protein in Mφ in LPS group was obviously higher than the other 4 groups, but changes in the IκBα expression between LPS group and other 4 groups was of controversy. (4) TNFa level in the culture supernatant in La^3+ group was low
