目的 探究白介素(IL)-18在颞下颌关节炎中的作用.方法 2015年11月—2016年4月,30只SPF级雄性BALB/c小鼠适应性喂养1周后,采用随机数字表法分为A、B、C、D、E组,每组6只.B组-E组在第1、21天时分别注射Ⅱ型胶原酶;从第1天开始,A组仅注射0.9%氯化钠溶液,B组注射0.9%氯化钠溶液,C组注射IL-18,D组注射IL-18结合蛋白(IL-18BP),E组注射IL-18、IL-18BP.第25天,采集各组小鼠外周血、组织灌洗液,采用流式细胞术检测外周血单核细胞/颞下颌关节组织灌洗液巨噬细胞中白介素18受体(IL-18R)阳性表达率,ELISA法检测外周血血浆/颞下颌关节组织灌洗液上清液中肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α、IL-1β水平.结果 B组、C组小鼠外周血单核细胞中IL-18R阳性表达率大于A组(P〈0.05);C组小鼠外周血单核细胞中IL-18R阳性表达率大于B组、D组、E组(P〈0.05).B组-E组小鼠颞下颌关节组织灌洗液巨噬细胞中IL-18R阳性表达率大于A组(P〈0.05);C组小鼠颞下颌关节组织灌洗液巨噬细胞中IL-18R阳性表达率大于B组、D组、E组(P〈0.05).B组-E组小鼠外周血血浆中TNF-α、IL-1β水平高于A组(P〈0.05);C组小鼠外周血血浆中TNF-α、IL-1β水平高于B组、D组、E组(P〈0.05).B组-E组小鼠颞下颌关节组织灌洗液上清液中TNF-α、IL-1β水平高于A组(P〈0.05);C组小鼠颞下颌关节组织灌洗液上清液中TNF-α、IL-1β水平高于B组、D组、E组(P〈0.05);D组小鼠颞下颌关节组织灌洗液上清液中TNF-α水平低于B组(P〈0.05);E组小鼠颞下颌关节组织灌洗液上清液中TNF-α水平高于D组(P〈0.05).结论 IL-18能通过其受体IL-18R刺激单核细胞/巨噬细胞产生TNF-α与IL-1β等炎性因子,从而参与颞下颌关节炎的发生发展,推测IL-18R可能成为颞下颌关节炎的治疗靶点.
Objective To explore the role of interleukin - 18 (IL-18)in temporomandibular joint arthritis. Methods This study was conducted from November 2015 to April 2016. After being adaptively fed for 1 week,30 male BALB/ c mice (SPF grade)were randomized into 5 groups (group A,group B,group C,group D and group E)with 6 mice in each. Group B, group C,group D and group E were injected collagenase Ⅱ on the 1st and 21st days of intervention,respectively. From the 1st to the 24th days of intervention,group A and group B were injected 0. 9% sodium chloride solution,group C,group D and group E were injected IL-18,IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP),IL-18 and IL-18BP,respectively. On the 25th day of intervention, peripheral blood and temporomandibular joint lavage fluid of mice were collected. The positive expression rates of the interleukin -18 receptor (IL-18R)in monocytes in peripheral blood and macrophages in temporomandibular joint lavage fluid were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in peripheral plasma/ liquid supernatant of temporomandibular joint lavage fluid were detected by enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The positive expression rate of IL-18R in peripheral blood monocytes in group B and group C was significantly higher than that in group A (P 〈 0. 05);the positive expression rate of IL-18R in peripheral blood monocytes in group C was significantly higher than that in group B,group D and group E (P 〈 0. 05). The positive expression rate of IL-18R in macrophages in temporomandibular joint lavage fluid in group B, group C,group D and group E was higher than that in group A (P 〈 0. 05);the positive expression rate of IL-18R in macrophages in temporomandibular joint lavage fluid in group C was higher than that in group B,group D and group E (P 〈0. 05). The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in peripheral plasma in group B,group C,group D and group E were higher than those in group A (P 〈 0. 05);the levels of TNF-α and
