白藜芦醇对TNF-α诱导的离体大鼠肺动脉内皮细胞损伤及MCP-1表达的影响

目的:探讨中药单体白藜芦醇(resveratrol,Res)对肿瘤坏死因子α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)诱导的离体大鼠肺动脉内皮细胞(rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells,RPAECs)中单核细胞趋化蛋白1(monocyte chemoattractant protein-1,MCP-1)的作用。方法:采用组织贴块法培养RPAECs,随机分为空白对照组(control组)、溶剂对照组(solvent组)、TNF-α(10μmol/L)组和Res(50μmol/L)+TNF-α组(Res组),每组又分成1、4和8 h三个时点(n=6),在8 h增加TNF-α+C1142(MCP-1特异性中和抗体)组(C1142组)。采用Western blot方法检测RPAECs中MCP-1蛋白表达,real-time PCR方法检测MCP-1 mRNA表达。结果:C1142可显著减少TNF-α诱导的RPAECs凋亡(P0.05)。相同时点solvent组的MCP-1蛋白和control组比较差异无统计学显著性;TNF-α组的MCP-1蛋白及mRNA较control组增高(P0.05);Res组的MCP-1蛋白及mRNA表达较TNF-α组降低(P0.05)。结论:MCP-1参与TNF-α诱导的RPAECs损伤;Res可降低TNF-α诱导的RPAECs中MCP-1表达,从而减少内皮细胞损伤。

Effects of resveratrol on TNF-α-induced injury and expression of MCP-1 in isolated rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells

AIM: To investigate the possible mechanism of resveratrol (Res) on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in primary rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells (RPAECs).METHODS: RPAECs were randomly divided into 4 groups:control group, solvent (1% DMSO) group, TNF-α group and Res group. Each group was divided into 1 h, 4 h and 8 h subgroups (n=6 per time point). The TNF-α+C1142 (a rodent chimeric mAb that neutralizes rat MCP-1) group was set up at the 8 h time point. At each time point, the protein and mRNA expression of MCP-1 was measured by Western blot and real-time PCR.RESULTS: Pretreatment of the RPAECs with C1142 significantly down-regulated the expression of MCP-1 (P<0.05). The protein and mRNA expression of MCP-1 was markedly increased in TNF-α group (P<0.05). Notably, incubation with Res down-re-gulated the protein and mRNA expression of MCP-1, which was significantly lower than that in TNF-α group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: MCP-1 was involved in the process of TNF-α-induced injury of RPAECs. Res down-regulates the expression of MCP-1 in RPAECs, thus attenuating cell injury.
