Lycium barbarum extract promotes M2 polarization and reduces oligomeric amyloid-β-induced inflammatory reactions in microglial cells

Lycium barbarum(LB)is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been demonstrated to exhibit a wide variety of biological functions,such as antioxidation,neuroprotection,and immune modulation.One of the main mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease is that microglia activated by amyloid beta(Aβ)transform from the resting state to an M1 state and release pro-inflammatory cytokines to the surrounding environment.In the present study,immortalized microglial cells were pretreated with L.barbarum extract for 1 hour and then treated with oligomeric Aβfor 23 hours.The results showed that LB extract significantly increased the survival of oligomeric Aβ-induced microglial cells,downregulated the expression of M1 pro-inflammatory markers(inducible nitric oxide synthase,tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1β),and upregulated the expression of M2 anti-inflammatory markers(arginase-1,chitinase-like protein 3,and interleukin-4).LB extract also inhibited the oligomeric Aβ-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1βin microglial cells.The results of in vitro cytological experiments suggest that,in microglial cells,LB extract can inhibit oligomeric Aβ-induced M1 polarization and concomitant inflammatory reactions,and promote M2 polarization.     

3M无痛保护膜联合造口袋治疗大便失禁相关性皮炎的临床观察

目的探讨用3M无痛保护膜联合造口袋治疗大便失禁相关性皮炎(Incontinent dermatitis,IAD)的疗效。方法选择我院2014年12月至2015年6月收治的50例IAD患者为研究对象,按照随机数表法将其分为对照组与实验组,每组25例。对照组患者予以传统皮肤护理方法;实验组的患者除传统皮肤护理外加用3M无痛保护膜联合造口袋治疗。并比较两组患者治疗后的皮炎改善情况、皮炎愈合时间及皮炎复发率。结果实验组患者治疗效果明显优于对照组,实验组皮炎愈合短于对照组,实验组皮炎复发率明显低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 3M无痛保护膜联合造口袋治疗IAD,临床效果显著,且愈合快,复发低。     

异丙酚通过NLRP3/IL-1β信号通路影响脂多糖诱导的肺泡巨噬细胞M1/M2表型分化

目的研究异丙酚对脂多糖诱导的肺泡巨噬细胞的免疫应答影响及相关机制进行初步探讨。方法分离大鼠原代肺泡巨噬细胞(AMs),并将细胞分为4组:对照组(control组:常规培养AMs),脂多糖组(LPS组:加入终质量浓度为1 000 ng/L脂多糖),异丙酚组(P组:加入终浓度为25μmol/L异丙酚),脂多糖+异丙酚组(LPS+P组:加终质量浓度为1 000 ng/L的LPS和25μmol/L异丙酚)。4组细胞常规培养24 h后,应用ELISA检测4组细胞培养上清液中IL-1β、IL-10、TNF-α的含量;细胞流式实验检测4组细胞表面F4/80、CD16/32、CD206分子表型所占比例;免疫磁珠分选F4/80+细胞,并利用RT-PCR检测细胞中iNOS、CD206的mRNA表达变化;最后应用RT-PCR及Western blot实验检测4组细胞中NLRP3/IL-1β信号通路中NLRP3、IL-1β及Caspase-1的mRNA及蛋白表达变化。结果 ELISA实验显示,异丙酚能够明显抑制LPS所诱导的AMs对促炎因子IL-1β、TNF-α的分泌,且促进细胞对抑炎因子IL-10的分泌;细胞流式及RT-PCR实验结果显示,异丙酚能够明显抑制LPS所诱导的AMs向M1型巨噬细胞分化,并促进细胞向M2型巨噬细胞分化;RT-PCR及Western blot实验结果显示,异丙酚能够明显抑制LPS所诱导的AMs中NLRP3/IL-1β信号通路中NLRP3、IL-1β及Caspase-1的m RNA及蛋白表达。结论异丙酚能够通过下调NLRP3/IL-1β信号通路抑制LPS所诱导的AMs向M1表型的分化,并促进细胞向M2表型的分化。     

旋毛虫感染对宿主免疫功能影响的研究

对感染旋毛虫小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞（Ｍ）吞噬活性、脾脏Ｔ细胞亚群、ＮＫ细胞杀伤活性、白细胞介素Ⅱ（ＩＬ－２）产生能力进行了动态检测。观察到小鼠在感染旋毛虫后，上述指标均出现降低，与正常对照组差异非常显著（Ｐ＜０．０１），表明旋毛虫感染对宿主非特异性免疫和特异性免疫功能均有非常明显的抑制作用。同时对抑制作用产生的机理进行了探讨。
