连翘提取物对小鼠T淋巴细胞体外活化与增殖的影响

目的:分析连翘(FS)提取物对小鼠淋巴结T细胞的体外活化与增殖的影响,初步探讨其免疫抑制作用机制.方法:无菌分离小鼠淋巴结细胞,加入多克隆刺激剂刀豆蛋白A(ConA)进行刺激,利用荧光标记的单克隆抗体(mAb)染色结合流式细胞术(FCM),检测小鼠T淋巴细胞的表达的活化抗原CD69、CD25、CD71的表达情况;以羧基荧光素乙酰乙酸琥珀酰亚胺酯(CFDA-SE)染色,以FCM分析FS对淋巴细胞体外增殖的影响.结果:终浓度为40、80、160 mg/L的FS均对ConA刺激诱导的T细胞CD69、CD25和CD71的表达有降低作用(P＜0.05).CFDA-SE染色分析显示,上述浓度的FS对ConA诱导的小鼠T淋巴细胞增殖具有抑制作用(P＜0.05).结论:FS对ConA诱导的T细胞早、中、后期活化和体外增殖有抑制作用.

Effects of Forsythia suspense extract on cell proliferation and activation of the mouse T lymphocytes in vitro

AIM: To investigate the effect of Forsythia suspensa (FS) extract on the activation and proliferation of the mouse T lymphocytes in vitro as well as its immunosuppressive effect. METHODS: The lymphocytes were isolated from the lymphoid nodes of BALB/c mice. Fluorescence conjugated monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry were used to detect the expression of CD69, CD25 and CD 71 of the activated T lymphocytes in vitro in response to Concanavalin A (ConA). Stained with CFDA-SE, the mouse lymphocytes were stimulated by ConA. The effect of FS extract on cell proliferation in vitro was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: FS extract decreased the expression of CD69, CD25 and CD71 at the final concentration of 40, 80 and 160 mg/L, respectively(P<0.05). CFDA-SE staining showed that FS extract at different concentration significantly inhibited the proliferation of lymphocytes induced by ConA (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: FS extract can inhibit the activation and proliferation of T lymphocytes in response to ConA.
