摘要: 摘要: 目的 探究类风湿关节炎 (RA) 患者成纤维样滑膜细胞 (FLS) 中钙网织蛋白 (CRT) 上调细胞型 Fas 相关死亡域样白细胞介素 1β 转换酶抑制蛋白 (c-FLIP) 表达的分子机制。方法 免疫组织化学染色分析 c-FLIP 在 RA 和骨关节炎 (OA) 患者膝关节滑膜中的表达与定位。酶解法分离 RA/OA FLS, 作为体外细胞培养模型。细胞免疫荧光和 Western blot 检测 c-FLIP 在 RA/OA FLS 中的表达。Western blot 探究 CRT 对 RA FLS 中 c-FLIP 表达的影响及其分子机制。结果 c-FLIP 在 RA 滑膜中呈高表达, 主要集中在衬里层和衬里下层的 FLS 和血管内皮细胞等, 而在 OA 滑膜罕见阳性; RA 滑膜中 c-FLIP 表达显著高于 OA (t=11.717, P<0.001)。细胞免疫荧光和 Western blot 结果显示, c-FLIP 主要定位于胞质, 且 RA FLS 中 c-FLIP 表达高于 OA FLS。FLS 与 CRT (0、 10、 50、 100 μg/L) 共培养, RA FLS 中 c-FLIP 表达上调且核因子 (NF) -κB 磷酸化增加, 具有浓度依赖性。NF-κB 抑制剂 BAY 11-7082 预干预后, CRT 上调 RA FLS 中 c-FLIP 表达的作用受到明显抑制。结论 RA FLS 中的 CRT 可能部分经 NF-κB 通路上调抗凋亡蛋白c-FLIP 的表达, 为今后RA 的临床治疗提供新的思路。

Abstract: Abstract: Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms of upregulated expression of cellular Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) by calreticulin (CRT) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods The semi-quantitative analysis and localization of c-FLIP in RA and osteoarthritis (OA) synovium were detected by immunohistochemistry. The fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) were isolated by enzymatic digestion of synovial tissue specimens obtained from RA and OA patients, and cultured as an in vitro experiment model. The expressions of c-FLIP in RA and OA synovial fibroblasts were detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot assay. Whether CRT influenced c-FLIP expression and its molecular mechanism were explored by Western blot assay. Results The high expression of c-FLIP was found in RA synovium, mainly in the lining and sublining areas of FLS and vascular endothelial cells detected by immunohistochemistry. Meanwhile, weak staining of c-FLIP was observed in OA synovium. The expression of c-FLIP was significantly higher in RA synovium than that of OA synovium (t=11.717, P<0.001). Results of immunofluorescence and Western blot assay showed that c-FLIP was mainly located in cytoplasm, and which was higher expressed in FLS of RA than that of OA. The increased c-FLIP expression and phosphorylation of NF- κB were detected after being co-incubated with exogenous CRT (0, 10, 50, 100 μg / L), in dose-dependent manner. The effect of CRT upregulating c-FLIP expression was blocked by NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7082. Conclusion CRT can increase c-FLIP expression at least partly through NF-κB pathway in RA, which may provide therapeutic target for the treatment of RA.
