中文摘要：

牛分支杆菌侵入巨噬细胞的机制,主要是由哺乳动物细胞侵袭蛋白(Mammalian cell-entry proteins,Mce)介导的,在牛分支杆菌的致病机理中具有重要的作用。为了探讨Mce4A蛋白在牛分支杆菌致病机理中的作用,用不同浓度的重组Mce4A蛋白刺激肺泡巨噬细胞,结果显示,Mce4A蛋白抑制巨噬细胞的活性;用重组Mce4A蛋白、MtbPPD、MbPPD和BCG刺激肺泡巨噬细胞,结果表明,Mce4A蛋白促使肺泡巨噬细胞TNF-α、i NOS和IL-6的表达上调,而对IL-12的表达没有影响。MbPPD和BCG促使肺泡巨噬细胞TNF-α、i NOS、IL-6和IL-12的表达上调;MtbPPD促使肺泡巨噬细胞TNF-α、IL-6和IL-12的表达上调,但是对i NOS的表达却没有影响。由此可见,Mce4A蛋白能够促使巨噬细胞分泌炎性细胞因子,促使机体发生炎性反应,在宿主细胞免疫应答反应中具有重要的作用。

英文摘要：

The pathogenesis of tuberculosis-causing Mycobacterium bovis is largely due to its ability to enter and survive in alveolar macrophages.Its mechanism of entry,mediated by proteins encoded by mammalian cell entry(mce)genes,is important for its pathogenesis.Here we focused on the role of the Mce4A protein in the pathogenesis of M.bovis in cattle.Cell livability decreased in a dosage-dependent manner when Mce4A proteins were used to stimulate alveolar macrophages,suggesting that the recombinant Mce4A protein m...
