氯化镧对内毒素诱导巨噬细胞肿瘤坏死因子表达的影响

目的　探讨稀土化合物氯化镧对内毒素效应的影响。　方法　分离培养小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞 (M) ,用内毒素 (lipopolysaccharide ,LPS)对其进行诱导实验。采用ELISA法及SYBRGreen荧光定量RT PCR方法 ,观察氯化镧对LPS诱导的小鼠M肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)分泌及TNFαmRNA表达的影响。BALB/C小鼠随机分为 2组 ,分别给予致死量LPS及经氯化镧处理的LPS ,观察 7d内小鼠死亡率。　结果　经氯化镧处理的LPS诱导的小鼠 ,MTNFα分泌量及TNFαmRNA表达水平均明显低于LPS组 (P <0 .0 1)。经氯化镧处理的致死量LPS攻击小鼠 ,其死亡率明显低于LPS对照组。　结论　氯化镧具有降低内毒素毒性、抑制LPS诱导小鼠MTNFα分泌及TNFαmRNA表达的作用

The influence of lanthanum chloride on the TNFα expression of murine peritoneal macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of lanthanum chloride on the TNFalpha expression of murine peritoneal macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS: Murine peritoneal macrophages (Mphi) were isolated, cultured and then stimulated by LPS. The influence of lanthanum chloride on the TNFalpha secretion and TNFalphamRNA expression of murine Mphi stimulated by LPS was determined by ELISA method and SYBR green fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. Forty BALB/C mice were randomly divided into two groups and were treated by lethal dose of LPS and lanthanum chloride processed LPS, respectively. The mortality within 7 days was observed. RESULTS: The TNFalpha secretion and TNFalphamRNA expression level of the Mphi from mice treated by lanthanum chloride processed LPS were obviously lower than those by LPS only (P < 0.01). The mortality of the mice treated by lethal dose of LPS which has been processed by lanthanum chloride was significantly lower than that by lethal dose of LPS only. CONCLUSION: Lanthanum chloride possessed the capacity of lowering down the toxicity of LPS and inhibiting the TNFalpha secretion and TNFalphamRNA expression in murine Mphi stimulated by LPS.
