米诺环素调控P2X7受体抑制BV-2细胞活化的研究*

 目的：探索P2X7受体在米诺环素(Mino)抑制脂多糖（LPS）刺激的BV-2细胞活化中的作用。方法：将体外培养的BV-2细胞分为5组：空白对照组、LPS处理组、LPS+ 0.1 μmol/L Mino组、LPS+ 1 μmol/L Mino组和LPS+ 10 μmol/L Mino组。分组处理8 h后行real-time PCR检测P2X7受体mRNA表达；处理24 h后观察各组细胞形态学变化，Western blotting检测P2X7受体蛋白表达，取细胞培养液上清行ELISA检测TNF-α和IL-1β的分泌情况。结果：经LPS处理后，BV-2细胞P2X7受体mRNA及蛋白的表达均升高，细胞培养液上清的TNF-α和IL-1β表达升高，同时伴有形态学的改变，而0.1～10 μmol/L Mino能抑制这一趋势，差异有统计学意义（P<0.01）。 结论： Mino抑制BV-2细胞活化的机制可能与抑制P2X7受体的活性相关。

Minocycline inhibits BV-2 cell activation by regulating P2X7 receptor

AIM：To explore the role of P2X7 receptor in inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 cell activation by minocycline. METHODS：BV-2 cells were divided into 5 groups: control group, LPS group, LPS+0.1 μmol/L Mino group, LPS+1 μmol/L Mino group and LPS+10 μmol/L Mino group. The expression of P2X7 receptor was determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the microglia culture supernatants were measured by ELISA. The morphological changes of the cells were also observed. RESULTS：After exposed to LPS, the expression of P2X7 receptor increased in BV-2 cells at mRNA and protein levels. The concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1β in the microglia culture supernatants also increased. Meanwhile, 0.1~10 μmol/L minocycline inhibited those changes in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION：Minocycline inhibits the activation of microglia. The mechanism may be related to the P2X7 receptor.
