摘要
目的:探讨氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)对THP-1巨噬细胞迁移功能、microRNA21(miR-21)表达及丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)通路的影响。方法:以160nmol/L佛波酯(PMA)诱导THP-1细胞分化成巨噬细胞。根据是否采用ox-LDL处理及脂质体介导miR-21抑制剂转染THP-1巨噬细胞,分为空白对照组(未进行oxLDL处理及脂质体转染),ox-LDL组(采用50mg/L ox-LDL处理,未进行脂质体转染),miR-21抑制剂组(脂质体介导miR-21抑制剂转染后采用50mg/L ox-LDL处理),miR-21抑制剂阴性对照组(脂质体介导miR-21抑制剂阴性对照转染后采用50mg/L ox-LDL处理)。Transwell法检测THP-1巨噬细胞迁移数,实时定量PCR检测miR-21表达情况,Western-blot法检测双特异性磷酸-8(DUSP-8)表达水平及磷酸化水平。结果:与空白对照组比较,ox-LDL组THP-1巨噬细胞迁移数显著增加[(74.10±15.10)比(184.10±26.28)],miR-21表达水平[(1.00±0.21)比(2.02±0.27)],MAPK通路的JNK、P38蛋白磷酸化水平显著升高,DUSP-8蛋白表达水平降低,P均<0.01;与ox-LDL组比较,miR-21抑制剂组THP-1巨噬细胞迁移数[(184.10±26.28)比(58.50±10.24)]显著减少,miR-21表达水平[(2.02±0.27)比(0.66±0.16)],JNK、P38蛋白磷酸化水平显著降低,DUSP-8蛋白表达水平显著升高,P均<0.01。结论:ox-LDL增强巨噬细胞迁移能力,可能与其上调miR-21表达、增强MAPK通路的JNK、P38蛋白磷酸化、降低DUSP-8表达有关。
Objective:To explore influence of oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)on migration function of THP-1 macrophages,expression of microRNA 21(miR-21)and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)pathway.Methods:Phorbol myristate acetate(PMA)of 160 nmol/L was used to induce THP-1 cells to differentiate into macrophages.According to application of ox-LDL treatment and liposomes-mediated miR-21 inhibitor transfecting THP-1 macrophages(transfection for short)or not,THP-1 macrophages were divided into blank control group(received neither ox-LDL treatment nor transfection),ox-LDL group(received 50 mg/L ox-LDL treatment without transfection),miR-21 inhibitor group(received 50 mg/L ox-LDL treatment after transfection)and miR-21 inhibitor negative-control group(received 50 mg/L ox-LDL treatment after negative-control transfection).THP-1 macrophage migration number was measured by transwell method,miR-21 expression was measured by real-time quantitative PCR,and expression of dual specific phosphate 8(DUSP-8)and phosphorylation level of MAPK pathway were measured by Western-blot method.Results:Compared with blank control group,there were significant rise in migration number of THP-1 macrophages[(74.10±15.10)vs.(184.10±26.28)],miR-21 expression[(1.00±0.21)vs.(2.02±0.27)]and phosphorylation levels of JNK and P38 protein,and significant reduction in expression of DUSP-8 protein in ox-LDL group,P<0.01 all.Compared with ox-LDL group,there were significant reductions in migration number of THP-1 macrophages[(184.10±26.28)vs.(58.50±10.24)],miR-21 expression [(2.02±0.27)vs.(0.66±0.16)]and phosphorylation levels of JNK and P38 protein,and significant rise in expression of DUSP-8 protein in ox-LDL group,P<0.01 all.Conclusion:Ox-LDL enhances migration function of macrophages,which may be related to its effects of upregulating miR-21 expression,enhancing phosphorylation of JNK and P38 protein of MAPK pathway and reducing DUSP-8 expression.
