单核巨噬细胞对肾小管上皮细胞的活化作用及其机制初探

目的:观察外周血单核巨噬细胞(MO/MAC)条件培养基(M-CM)对肾小管上皮细胞(RTEC)直接作用的生物学效应并探讨可能的作用机制。方法:应用正常人外周血M-CM刺激人近端肾小管上皮细胞(HK-2),以³H]-TdR掺入法检测HK-2细胞DNA合成、Westernblot法检测骨桥蛋白(OPN)和α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)表达、间接抑制ELISA法检测纤连蛋白(FN)分泌。进一步采用白细胞介素-10(IL-10)和转化生长因子-β₁(TGF-β₁)中和抗体进行拮抗。结果:①M-CM可促进HK-2细胞DNA合成、α-SMA表达及FN分泌。②TGF-β₁中和抗体(5mg/L)与M-CM同时作用于HK-2细胞,其α-SMA表达和FN分泌均明显低于M-CM单独作用组。③IL-10(20μg/L)与M-CM同时作用组的HK-2细胞,α-SMA表达和FN分泌亦明显低于M-CM组;IL-10预孵育MO/MAC组,HK-2细胞α-SMA表达也明显低于M-CM组。结论:单核巨噬细胞可直接诱导肾小管上皮细胞增殖、表型转化以及分泌细胞外基质增加;其分泌的TGF-β₁及炎性细胞因子可能参与介导上述效应。

Activation of renal tubular epithelial cells by monocytes/macrophages and the relative mechanisms

AIM: To observe the direct effects of peripheral blood monocytes/macrophages (MO/MAC) on renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC),and further probe into the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Conditioned medium(M-CM) of human peripheral blood MO/MAC was collected and added to HK-2,a human renal proximal tubular cell line.After incubation with M-CM for 24 hours,HK-2 cells were detected for DNA synthesis by ³H]-TdR incorporation,osteopontin (OPN) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression by Western blot,and fibronectin(FN) secretion by ELISA.Furthermore,anti-TGFβ₁ neutralizing antibody and interlukin-10(IL-10) were used separately to antagonize the effects of M-CM on HK-2 cells. RESULTS: ①DNA synthesis,α-SMA expression and FN secretion were all increased in HK-2 cells when incubated with M-CM.②When adding with anti-TGFβ₁ neutralizing antibody (5 mg/L) in the M-CM,the degree of upregulation of α-SMA and FN in HK-2 cells was much lower than that stimulated by M-CM alone.③M-CM added with IL-10 (20 μg/L) had a weaker ability to induce the increasing in α-SMA expression and FN excretion in HK-2 cells, compared with M-CM itself alone.M-CM from MO/MAC preincubated with IL-10 caused a lower upregulation of α-SMA expression in HK-2 cells than M-CM from non-preincubated MO/MAC. CONCLUSION: MO/MAC can directly induce proliferation,transdifferentiation and extracellular matrix secretion in RTEC.TGFβ₁ and proinflammatory cytokines secreted by MO/MAC might be involved in the aboveeffects.
