目的探讨过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α(PPARα)对脂多糖刺激巨噬细胞引发炎症反应的影响及其调节机制。方法通过小鼠的股骨分离骨髓干细胞,经过分化培养获得骨髓来源的巨噬细胞,再通过脂多糖刺激巨噬细胞诱导细胞炎症因子表达的细胞模型。利用PPARα选择性激动州Wy44643干预炎症细胞模型,3-甲基腺嘌呤(3-methyladenine,3-MA)和Atg7小干扰RNA(Atg7 siRNA)分别作为自噬抑制剂干预自噬。通过实时定量PCR方法检测炎症细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子α(tumor necrosis factor α,TNF-α)、白细胞介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)、IL-6和自噬相关基因Atg5、Atg7、Beclin-1的mRNA表达水平;通过免疫印迹技术检测自噬相关蛋白Atg5、Ats7、Beclin-1和LC3的表达;质粒GFP-LC3转染并观察自噬点的形成。结果研究表明,不同浓度的PPARct选择性激动剂wy14643(10μmol/L、25μmol/L和50μmol/L)预处理LPS刺激的巨噬细胞,与单独LPS刺激巨噬细胞相比,细胞炎症因子TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6表达下降,并具有削量依赖性。此外,不同浓度Wy14643作用于巨噬细胞,也同时促进自噬相关蛋白Atg5、Atg7、Beclin-1的mRNA水平表达升高;Western blot结果显示自噬相关蛋白Atg5、Atg7、Beclin-1和LC3表达增加;荧光显微镜观察显示巨噬细胞中自噬点的形成增加。在Wy14643预处理的基础上,3-MA和Atg7siRNA分别抑制细胞自噬,结果显示炎症细胞因子TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6的mRNA表达水平发生了逆转,重新表达升高。结论PPARα激活可抑制LPS刺激巨噬细胞诱导的促炎细胞因子的表达,并且PPARα通过促进细胞自噬而发挥抗炎作用。因此,PPARα-自噬分子途径是调控LPS诱导的巨噬细胞炎症反应的信号通路之一。
Objective To investigate the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) on macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses with the interference of lipopolysaccharide and the possible mechanism. Methods The bone marrow stem cells were isolated from the femora of mice. The granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was used to stimulate the in vitro differentiation from bone marrow stem ceils into primary macrophages. An in vitro model with cultured cells expressing in- flammatory cytokines was established by treating the primary macrophages with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A specific chemical agonist, Wy-14643, was used to activate PPARα. Antophagy inhibitors including 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and small interfering RNA against Atg7 (Atg7 siRNA) were used to inhibit the autophagy. Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of autophagy-related proteins ( Atg5, Atg7, Beclin-1 and LC3). The transcriptional levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, Atg5, Atg7 and Beclin-1 were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Results Compared with the macrophages treated with LPS alone, those pretreated with various conc, entrations of Wy-14643 ( 10 μmol/L, 25 μmol/L and 50 μmol/L) showed inhibited ex- pression of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) and enhanced expression of autophagy-relat- ed proteins ( Atg5, Atg7 and Beclin-1 ) at mRNA level in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of auto- phagy-related proteins ( AtgS, Atg7, Beclin-1 and LC3) by macrophages was promoted with the pretreatment of Wy-14643 as indicated by Western blot assay. The transcriptional levels of TNF-α, IL-1 βand IL-6 were increased in Wy - 14643 pretreated - inaerophages after stimulation with 3-MA or Atg7 siRNA . Conclusion PPARa suppressed the maerophage-mediated inflammatmT responses by promoting autophagy, suggesting that the PPARα-autophagy pathway might be one of the signaling pathways regulating LPS induced-inflammatory responses.
