摘要
目的:探讨黄芪甲苷对巨噬细胞极化的影响及其可能的抗肿瘤免疫机制。方法:通过噻唑兰(methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide,MTT)比色法检测不同浓度黄芪甲苷作用不同时间,对巨噬细胞的细胞毒作用,以选取合适的黄芪甲苷作用浓度;将巨噬细胞与肿瘤细胞以1∶1进行共孵育,并用0. 1 mg·L~(-1)黄芪甲苷作用24 h,通过虫荧光素酶(luciferase,Luc)杀伤实验检测巨噬细胞对肿瘤细胞的杀伤效率;以0. 1 mg·L~(-1)黄芪甲苷作用巨噬细胞24 h,通过流式细胞术检测巨噬细胞CD16/32,CD206表达,通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(Real-time PCR)检测巨噬细胞诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase,i NOS),精氨酸-1(Arginine-1,Arg-1)及细胞因子白细胞介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β),肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α),白细胞介素-12(interleukin-12,IL-12),白细胞介素-10(interleukin-10,IL-10),转化生长因子-β(transforming growth factor-β,TGF-β) mRNA表达,通过蛋白免疫印迹法(Western blot)检测巨噬细胞信号传导及转录激活因子1(Signal transducers and activators of transcription 1,STAT1),磷酸化信号传导及转录激活因子1(phosphorylation signal transducers and activators of transcription 1,p-STAT1)表达。结果:当黄芪甲苷质量浓度为0. 1 mg·L~(-1)时,对巨噬细胞无细胞毒作用。与空白组比较,Luc杀伤实验结果显示黄芪甲苷可以显著促进巨噬细胞介导的肿瘤杀伤; Real-time PCR结果显示黄芪甲苷可以诱导巨噬细胞表面M1型巨噬细胞标志CD16/32表达增高,促进M1型巨噬细胞特异性指标i NOS mRNA表达,同时诱导M1型巨噬细胞相关细胞因子IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-12 mRNA表达增高; Western blot结果显示黄芪甲苷可以促进巨噬细胞STAT1发生磷酸化。结论:黄芪甲苷可以通过促进巨噬细胞内STAT1发生磷酸化,进而诱导巨噬细胞向M1型巨噬细胞发生极化,并启动巨噬细胞相关的抗肿瘤免疫应答。
Objective: To investigate the effect of astragaloside on the macrophage polarization and the possible anti-tumor immunity mechanism of astragaloside. Method: The cytotoxic effect of different concentrations of astragaloside at different time points on macrophage was measured by methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide( MTT),in order to choose the suitable concentration of astragaloside,macrophages were co-cultured with tumor cells at the ratio 1 ∶ 1,and the effect of astragaloside on macrophage-mediated lysis of tumor cells was performed by biophotonic cytotoxicity assay after the mixed cells were effected with 0. 1 mg·L~(-1) astragaloside for 24 h.Macrophages were dealt with 0. 1 mg·L~(-1) astragaloside for 24 h,the expressions of CD16/32 and CD206 in macrophages were performed by flow cytometry,the mRNA expressions of macrophage inducible nitric oxide synthase( i NOS),Arginine-1( Arg-1),interleukin-1β( IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α),interleukin-12( IL-12),interleukin-10( IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) were measured by Real-time PCR,the protein expressions of macrophage signal transducers and activators of transcription 1( STAT1) and phosphorylation signal transducers and activators of transcription 1( p-STAT1) were determined by Western blot.Result: Astragaloside had no effect on the viability of macrophages with 0. 1 mg·L~(-1). Compared with control group,astragaloside obviously enhanced the macrophage-mediated lysis of tumor cells according to the biophotonic cytotoxicity assay,induced the M1 macrophage marker CD16/32 expression according to flow cytometry,increased the mRNA expressions of i NOS,IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-12 according to the Real-time PCR,and promoted the phosphorylation of STAT1 in macrophages on the basis of Western blot. Conclusion: Astragaloside could induce M1 macrophage polarization by increasing the phosphorylation of STAT1,and initiate macrophage-related anti-tumor immunity response.
