摘要: 目的 探讨 microRNA(miR) -145 通过 CD40 对泡沫细胞免疫炎症反应的影响。方法 体外培养小鼠巨 噬细胞系 RAW 264.7 细胞, 随机均分为模型组(不转染)、 miR-145 mimics 组(转染 miR-145 mimics)、 miR-145 inhibitor 组(转染 miR-145 inhibitor)、 沉默 CD40 序列组(转染 siCD40), 转染 6 h 之后, 用氧化低密度脂蛋白(oxLDL)刺激 24 h 诱导形成泡沫细胞。应用 real-time qPCR(RT-qPCR)和 Western blot 检测各组细胞中 CD40 mRNA 和蛋白的表达情况; ELISA 法检测细胞上清液中炎症因子白细胞介素(IL) -1、 IL-6、 肿瘤坏死因子(TNF) -α 水平。 结果 与模型组相比, miR-145 mimics 组 CD40 mRNA、 蛋白及 IL-1、 IL-6、 TNF-α 的表达水平均明显下降(P < 0.01); 经 miR-145 抑制剂干预后, 上述指标均较模型组和 miR-145 mimics 组升高(P < 0.01); 而转染沉默 CD40 序 列后, CD40 mRNA、 蛋白及 IL-1、 IL-6、 TNF-α 的表达水平较 miR-145 抑制剂组均明显下降 (P < 0.01)。结论 miR- 145 可通过靶基因 CD40 调控泡沫细胞免疫炎症过程, 抑制 CD40/CD40L 信号通路活化, 抑制炎症反应。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of miRNA-145 (miR-145) on immuno-inflammatory reaction of foam cells by targeting CD40. Methods Mouse macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 cells cultured in vitro were randomly divided into model group (non-transfected), miR-145 mimics group (transfected miR-145 mimics), miR-145 inhibitor group (transfected miR-145 inhibitor) and silencing CD40 sequence group (transfected siCD40). Then oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) was used to stimulate for 24 h to establish immune inflammatory damage cell model. Quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot assay were used to detect the levels of CD40 mRNA and protein of each group. ELISA was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors interleukin (IL) - 1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) - α in cell supernatant. Results Compared with model group, the levels of CD40 mRNA, CD40 protein and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α were all significantly decreased in miR-145 mimics group (P < 0.01). After transfected with miR-145 inhibitor, the above indexes were all significantly increased than those of model group and miR-145 mimics group (P < 0.01). After transfected with CD40 siRNA, the levels of CD40 mRNA, CD40 protein and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α were all obviously decreased compared with those of miR-145 inhibitor group (P < 0.01). Conclusion MiR-145 can regulate the immune inflammatory process of foam cells through the target gene CD40, inhibit the activation of CD40/CD40L signaling pathway and inhibit inflammatory response.
