血小板表达TLR4调节LPS刺激血小板释放细胞因子的作用

目的 证实人类血小板表面是否表达Toll样受体4(Toll like receptor 4,TLR4),探讨脂多糖(lipopolysaccharides,LPS)刺激血小板后TLR4表达变化及其对细胞因子白细胞介素-8(interlukine-8,IL-8)、β血小板球蛋白(β-thromboglobulin,β-TG)、可溶性CD40配体(soluble CD40 ligand,sCD40L)释放的凋节作用.方法 流式细胞技术测定不同浓度LPS刺激后血小板TLR4表达情况;ELISA法测定TLR4单克隆抗体封闭或不封闭LPS刺激的人血小板释放的细胞因子IL-8、β-TG、sCD40L的变化.结果 人血小板表达TLR4,LPS刺激后血小板对TLR4表达检出率降低(P<0.01),血小板对sCD40L、β-TG释放显著升高(P<0.001),但LPS在1～5μg/ml内不同浓度之间,sCD40L、β-TG浓度差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),LPS诱发血小板释放sCD40L、β-TG增加效应被TLR4单克隆抗体削弱.LPS刺激前后,反应体系中IL-8浓度无明显变化(P>0.05).结论 血小板TLR4与LPS相互作用诱发血小板大量释放sCD40L、β-TG,而血小板对IL-8的释放不依赖于TLR4-LPS途径.

Platelet Toll-like receptor expression modulates lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokines production

Objective To affirm the expression of Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) on the surface membrane of platelet and to explore the immunomodulatory factors[(interlukine-8(IL-8),β-thromboglobulin(β-TG), soluble CD40 ligand(sCD40L)] released by platelets after platelets stimulated by TLR4 ligand.Methods TLR4 expressed on the platelet was detected by flow cytometry. Monoclonal anti-human FcγRⅡantibody(Ⅳ.3)-treated human platelets were cultured with LPS in the presence or absence of blocking monoclonal antibody to human TLR4. The release of IL-8, β-TG, sCD40L were measured by specific enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. Results Human platelets could express functional TLR4. The detection rate of TLR4 on platelets were decreased after LPS involvement(P<0.01). It was noted that sCD40L and β-TG were present in large concentration in the release of platelets stimulated by TLR4 ligand but the release of IL-8 was independent of platelet activation after TLR4 engagement. The concentration of sCD40L and β-TG had no statistical difference between 1-5 μg/ml LPS. The effects of LPS on the modulation of secretory factors were attenuated by preincubation of platelets with an anti-TLR4 monoclonal antibody. Conclusion The TLR4 on platelet could recognize and link LPS, induce the release of sCD40L, β-TG by platelet, but could not influence IL-8.
