蜂毒肽MP-1体外拮抗内毒素作用及其机制

目的 观察蜂毒肽MP-1的体外抗内毒素(LPS)活性并探讨其作用机制. 方法 应用生物传感器检测MP-1对类脂A(lipid A)的亲合力,采用动态比浊法鲎试验检测MP-1对LPS(2μg/L)的中和作用,激光扫描共聚焦显微镜观察不同浓度MP-1(5,10,20,40 μmol/L)干预后异硫氰酸荧光素标记LPS(FITC-LPS,100 μg/L)与小鼠RAW264.7细胞的结合,免疫细胞化学法观察MP-1对LPS(100μg/L)诱导的RAW264.7细胞TLR4表达的影响;实时荧光定量RT-PCR和ELISA法检测不同浓度MP-1作用下LPS(100μg/L)刺激的RAW264.7细胞TLR4、TNF-α和IL-6基因及蛋白的表达;MTT法检测MP-1对RAW264.7细胞活力的影响. 结果 MP-1具有一定的结合lipid A及中和LPS的作用,在10 μmol/L浓度可显著抑制FITC-LPS与RAW264.7细胞结合(P<0.05),并对LPS刺激的小鼠RAW264.7细胞TLR4、TNF-α和IL-6的基因及蛋白表达有抑制作用(P<0.05或<0.01),该作用具有一定的剂量效应关系.MP-1体外实验浓度对细胞活力无影响(P>0.05). 结论 MP-1可能通过中和LPS作用,阻断LPS与RAW264.7细胞膜受体的结合,从而抑制LPS介导的细胞活化.

Effect and mechanism of mastoparan-1 antagonizing lipopolysaccharide in vitro

Objective To investigate the mechanism of mastoparan-1 (MP-1) antagonizing lipopolysaecharide (LPS) in vitro. Methods The affinity of MP-1 for lipid A was assayed by biosensor, and the neutralization of MP-1 on LPS (2 μg/L) was detected by kinetic turbidimetric limulus test. After exposing fluorescin isothiecyanate (FITC) labeled LPS (FITC-LPS) to MP-1 at different concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L), the binding of FITC-LPS to murine RAW264.7 cells was analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscopy. The influence of MP-1 on TLR4 expression in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by LPS (100 μg/L) was detected by immunoeytochemieal staining. The expressions of TLR4, TNF-α and IL-6 at the gene and protein level were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA after exposing LPS (100 μg/ L) stimulated RAW264.7 cells to MP-1 at different concentrations. The effect of MP-1 on the viability of RAW264.7 cells was detected by MTT assay. Results MP-1 had high affinity to lipid A and could neutralize LPS. MP-1 at 10 μmol/L significantly inhibited not only binding of FITC-LPS to RAW264.7 (P < 0.05), but also protein and gene expressions of TLR4, TNF-α and IL-6 in LPS stimulated RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). No toxic effect of MP-1 on the viability of RAW264.7 cells was found (P > 0.05). Conclusions MP-1 inhibits cell viability mediated by LPS, which may be related to its neutralization of LPS and inhibition of binding of LPS to RAW264.7 cell membrane receptors.
