摘要
目的探讨雄激素对RAW264.7巨噬细胞肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α和单核细胞趋化蛋白(MCP)-1表达的影响及其分子机制。方法(1)用不同浓度睾酮处理小鼠RAW264.7巨噬细胞不同时间,分别用RT-PCR和ELISA法检测细胞TNF-α和MCP-1 mRNA和培养上清液中的表达;(2)10^-7mol/L睾酮处理细胞0、10、30、60、180、360min后,Western印迹检测磷酸化NF—κB(p—NF—κB)的表达。(3)NF—κB的抑制剂PDTC处理细胞1h后再用不同浓度睾酮处理,用RT—PCR和ELISA法检测TNF-α和MCP-1的表达。结果(1)①10^-9和10^-7mol/L睾酮处理细胞6h后,TNF-α mRNA表达分别增加1.78倍和1.87倍(均P〈0.05),MCP-1 mRNA的表达也显著增加(均P〈0.01);②睾酮处理6h后TNF-α和MCP-1的分泌量的变化差异均无统计学意义;睾酮处理24h后,TNF-α和MCP-1的分泌量显著增加(均P〈0.05);10^-7mol/L睾酮处理组的分泌量显著高于10^-9mol/L睾酮处理组(均P〈0.05)。(2)随着睾酮处理时间的增加,p-NF—κB的表达增加,60min达峰值(2.49±0.40)倍,P〈0.05,以后逐渐降低。(3)PDTC预处理后再用睾酮处理6h,TNF-α和MCP-1 mRNA的表达均低于同浓度单纯睾酮处理组(均P〈0.05),但仍高于空白对照组(均P〈0.05)。PDTC预处理后再用睾酮处理24h,TNF-α和MCP-1的分泌量均低于同浓度单纯睾酮处理组(除10^-9mol/L睾酮组外,均P〈0.05),但仍高于空白对照组(均P〈0.05)。结论睾酮能促进离体的小鼠RAW264.7巨噬细胞TNF-α和MCP-1表达。NF—κB的活化是介导睾酮这一效应的分子机制之一。
Objective To investigate the role of androgen in TNF-α and MCP-1 expression in RAW264. 7 macrophage and its molecular mechanism. Methods ( 1 ) RAW264. 7 macrophage was treated with 10^-9 mol/L or 10^-7 moL/L testosterone (T) and then subjected to the measurement of:(1)the cellular expression of TNF-α and MCP-1 mRNA by RT-PCR ; (2)the expression of TNF-α and MCP-1 in cell culture supernatant by ELISA; (2) The expression of phospho-NF-κB after treatment with T was measured by Western blot. (3) Cells were pre-incnbated with 10-4 moL/L PDTC (an inhibitor of NF-κB) for 1 hour, followed by T treatment. Expression of mRNA and supernatant levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 were measured by RT-PCR and ELISA. Results (1)(1) After a 6 h treatment with 10^-9 mol/L or 10^-7 mol/L T, the expression of TNF-α mRNA increased by 1.78 and 1.87 folds, MCP-1 by 1.58 and 1.66 folds respectively (all P 〈 0. 05 ). (2) Incubated with both concentration of T for 6 h showed no significant changes of supernatant levels of TNF-α and MCP-1. After a 24 h treatment, the levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 increased significantly (all P 〈0. 05) while more significant increase was found in 10-7 mol/L T group (P 〈0.05). (2) The expression of phospho-NF-κB (set276) increased significantly after cells were treated with 10^-7 mol/L T for 30 rain (P〈0. 05) and peaked at 60 rain. (3) With 1 h PDTC pre-incubation, T (10^-9mol/L or 10^-7 mol/L) treatment for 6 h led to a lower mRNA expression and 24 h led to lower supernatant levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 than those without (P 〈 0.05 ). However, both cellular and supernatant expression of TNF-α and MCP-1 with PDTC pre-incubation were still higher than those of blank controls ( all P 〈 0. 05, except for TNF-α in 10-9 mol/L T treatment). Conclusion Testosterone can increase TNF-α and MCP-I expression in RAW264. 7 macrophage in vitro. Activation of cellular NF-κB by testosterone may be one of underlying molecular mechanisms.
