摘要:

目的 探讨PM2.5对Raw264.7巨噬细胞自噬及炎症反应的影响及机制。方法 CCK-8检测PM2.5对Raw264.7巨噬细胞活性的影响,透射电镜观察自噬结构;Ad-mCherry-GFP-LC3B转染细胞后荧光显微镜观察自噬通量,以探讨PM2.5对巨噬细胞活性和自噬流的影响。再设置对照组、PM2.5组、雷帕霉素(Rap,自噬诱导剂)组、羟氯喹(HCQ,自噬抑制剂)组、PM2.5+HCQ组、PM2.5+TAK-242[Toll样受体4(TLR4)抑制剂]组。Western blot法检测自噬相关蛋白,包括微管相关轻链蛋白3比值(LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ)、p62、组织蛋白酶B(CTSB)、溶酶体膜蛋白2(LAMP2)和炎症相关蛋白,包括Toll样受体4(TLR4)、核苷酸结合域样受体蛋白3(NLRP3)的表达水平;酶联免疫吸附试验检测相关炎性因子白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-18、IL-10分泌水平。结果 Raw264.7巨噬细胞活性随着PM2.5浓度的增加和作用时间的延长而降低。透射电镜观察到PM2.5组有较多自噬空泡和双膜自噬体,自噬溶酶体少见,且荧光显微镜下PM2.5组绿色荧光淬灭不明显,Merge后黄红色荧光比值高于对照组和Rap组(P<0.05)。相较于对照组,PM2.5组NLRP3、LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ、p62、CTSB、IL-1β、IL-18的表达上调,LAMP2、IL-10表达下调(P<0.05),而HCQ抑制自噬的同时,促进NLRP3、IL-1β、IL-18的表达,抑制IL-10表达(P<0.05)。相较于对照组、PM2.5组和HCQ组,PM2.5+HCQ组NLRP3、IL-1β、IL-18的上调及IL-10下调更为显著(P<0.05)。此外,PM2.5组TLR4表达高于对照组,TAK-242抑制TLR4后NLRP3、LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ、p62、CTSB、IL-1β、IL-18的表达较PM2.5组下调,LAMP2和IL-10的表达上调(P<0.05)。结论 PM2.5可呈时间和浓度依赖性地降低巨噬细胞活性;且PM2.5诱导Raw264.7巨噬细胞发生自噬,但阻断自噬流,加重巨噬细胞炎症反应,且该过程可能由TLR4介导。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of PM2.5 on the autophagy and inflammatory response of Raw264.7 macrophages. Methods CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of PM2.5 on the viability of Raw264.7 cells, and transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the autophagy structure. The autophagic flux was observed by fluorescence microscope after Ad-mCherry-GFP-LC3B transfection to explore the effect of PM2.5 on macrophage activity and autophagy. Then the blank control group, the PM2.5 group, the rapamycin (Rap, autophagy inducer) group, the hydroxychloroquine (HCQ, autophagy inhibitor) group, the PM2.5+HCQ group and PM2.5+TAK-242 [Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor] group were set. Western blot method was used to detect levels of autophagy-related proteins, including microtubule-associated light chain protein 3 ratio (LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ), p62, cathepsin B (CTSB), lysosomal membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) and inflammation-related proteins TLR4 and nucleotide binding Domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)]. ELISA method was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18 and IL-10. Results The activity of Raw264.7 macrophages decreased with the increase of PM2.5 concentration and the prolonged action time. Transmission electron microscopy showed that there were more autophagic vacuoles and double-membrane autophagosomes in the PM2.5 group, while autophagic lysosomes were rare, and under the fluorescence microscope, the ratio of yellow fluorescent dots to red fluorescent dots was higher in the PM2.5 group than that in the control group and the Rap group (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the expressions levels of NLRP3, LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, p62, CTSB, IL-1β and IL-18 were up-regulated in the PM2.5 group, and the expressions of LAMP2 and IL-10 were down-regulated (P<0.05). While HCQ inhibited autophagy, it promoted the expression of NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18, and inhibited the expression of IL-10 (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the PM2.5 group and the HCQ group, NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly up-regulated and IL-10 was significantly down-regulated in the PM2.5+HCQ group (P<0.05). In addition, the expression of TLR4 was high in the PM2.5 group. Expressions of NLRP3, LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, p62, CTSB, IL-1β and IL-18 were down-regulated after TLR4 was inhibited by TAK-242, and expressions of LAMP2 and IL-10 were up-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion PM2.5 reduces macrophage activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. PM2.5 induces autophagy in Raw264.7 macrophages, but blocks autophagic flow and aggravates the inflammatory response of macrophages, which may be mediated by TLR4.
