目的探讨亚致死剂量6Gy γ射线一次性全身照射小鼠免疫细胞对脂多糖刺激反应性的远期影响。方法将实验小鼠分为假照射组和照射组,假照射组不接受照射,照射组给予6Gy γ射线照射。照射后10周,分别将假照射组和照射组小鼠按组别腹腔注射脂多糖(20mg/kg),对照组注射等量的生理盐水。分别于24h和1h后取材,进行外周血白细胞计数及CD4、CD8、B220细胞比例检测。取脾脏和胸腺称重,计算脏器指数。冲洗单侧股骨进行有核细胞计数。结果与假照射对照组小鼠相比,照射对照组小鼠的CD4细胞比例显著升高(t=2.940,P〈0.05),CD8和B220细胞比例显著下降(t=6.485和4.351,P均〈0.01)。照射+脂多糖1h组小鼠的CD4(t=2.510,P〈0.05)、CD8(t=2.862,P〈0.05)和B220(t=7.074,P〈0.01)细胞比例较假照射+脂多糖1h组小鼠显著降低,差异有统计学意义。与假照射+脂多糖24h组小鼠相比,照射+脂多糖24h组小鼠单侧股骨有核细胞计数显著升高,差异有统计学意义(t=2.078,P〈O.05)。结论6Gy γ射线一次性全身照射后10周,小鼠免疫系统尚未完全恢复;与假照射组相比,在接受脂多糖刺激后照射组小鼠胸腺指数和外周血中CD8和B220细胞比例未见显著变化。辐射对小鼠免疫系统损伤的远期影响有待进一步研究。
Objective To investigate the long-term effects of high γ-ray dose on the mice immune system to stimulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods The mice were randomly divided into shamirradiation group and irradiation group. Mice in sham-irradiation group received no irradiation, while mice in irradiation group received 6 Gy γ-ray irradiation. The mice were accepted intraperitoneal injection of LPS (20 mg/kg) in LPS treated group at 10 weeks after inadiation,while the mice in control group were accepted intraperitoneal injection of saline. The mice were sacrificed after 1 h and 24 h respectively. The white blood cells, CD4, CD8 and B220 cells in peripheral blood were detected. The index of spleen and thymus were cal- culated and the number of bone marrow nucleated cells per femur were counted. Results Compared to the mice in sham-irradiation-control group, the ratio of CD4 cells in irradiation-control group increased (t=2.940, P〈0.05), while the CD8 and B220 cells decreased (t=6.485 and 4.351, both P〈0.01 ). Compared to the mice in sham-irradiation-LPS lh group, the ratio of CD4 (t=2.510, P〈0.05 ), CD8 (t=2.862, P〈0.05 ) and B220 (t=7.074, P〈0.01 ) cells in iiTadiation-LPS 1 h group significantly decreased. Compared to the mice in sham-irradiation-LPS 24 h group, the number of bone marrow nucleated ceils in irradiation-LPS 24h group significantly increased (t=2.078, P〈0.05). Conclusions The immune system of mice had not entirely recovered at 10 weeks after 6 Gy γ-ray irradiation. After the stimulation of LPS, the changes of thymus index and CD8, B220 cells numbers were less in the mice of irradiation group than the sham-irradiation group. The long-term effects of radiation on the mice immune system need to be further explored.
