蛋白激酶C抑制剂对T细胞表达IL-2及IFN-γ的影响

目的:研究蛋白激酶C(PKC)抑制剂H7和棉酚对体外活化T细胞表达白细胞介素-2(IL-2)和γ-干扰素(INF-γ)的影响。方法:在莫能菌素(monensin)存在时,以佛波醇酯(PDB)+离子霉素(I)体外活化人外周血单个核细胞(PBMC),以流式细胞术胞内细胞因子检测法分析H7和棉酚对CD3⁺T细胞表达IL-2和IFN-γ水平的影响。结果:PDB+I处理PBMC4h后,表达IL-2和IFN-γ的CD3⁺T细胞百分率分别为16.64±2.04和25.81±3.53(x±s),而对照组二者的比率为1.06±0.22及3.12±0.77(P＜0.05)。棉酚(50μmol/L)可明显抑制IL-2及IFN-γ的表达,抑制后表达率分别为2.08±0.12及9.01±1.90。H7作用比棉酚强,50μmol/L的H7抑制后的IL-2及IFN-γ阳性T细胞比率分别为0.43±0.06和2.40±0.27。结论:PKC在CD3⁺T细胞表达IL-2及IFN-γ中发挥重要作用;PKC抑制剂H7及棉酚明显抑制IL-2及IFN-γ的表达,提示H7和棉酚可通过抑制PKC活性,对依赖于T细胞功能的特异性免疫应答有调节作用。

Influences of protein kinase C inhibitors on the expression of IL-2 and IFN-γ by human T-lymphocytes

AIM:To investigate the influences of protein kinase C(PKC) inhibitors on the expression of interleukin-2(IL-2) and interferon-γ(IFN-γ) byin vitro activated T-lymphocytes. METHODS:Double fluorescent staining together with flow cytometry was adopted to detect intracellular cytokines and to analyze the effects of H7 and gossypol on IL-2 and IFN-γ expression levels of T-lymphocytes stimulated with phorbol ester (PDB)+ionomycin(I) in the presence of monensin.RESULTS:The expression rates of IL-2 and IFN-γ of CD3⁺ T cells stimulated with PDB+I for 4 h were 16.64±2.04 and 25.81±3.53(x±s), respectively, which were significantly higher than that of control (1.06±0.22 and 3.12±0.77)(P＜0.05). Gossypol was able to inhibit the expression of IL-2 and IFN-γ significantly, with the expression rates of 2.08±0.12 and 9.01±1.90, respectively. At the presence of 50 μmol/L H7, the rates of IL-2⁺ and IFN-γ⁺ CD3⁺ T cells were 0.43±0.06 and 2.40±0.27, respectively. The effect of H7 was stronger than that of gossypol. CONCLUSION:PKC plays an important role in the expression of IL-2 and IFN-γ of CD3⁺T cells and its inhibitors H7 and gossypol exert significant inhibitory effect on the expression of these two cytokines. It is suggested that H7 and gossypol may have modulatory effect on T-cell-dependent specific immune responses by inhibiting PKC activity.
