摘要: 目的:探讨Toll样受体配体内毒素脂多糖(LPS)与干扰素(IFN)-α联用对白血病U937细胞凋亡的作用及其机制。方法:将200 μg/L的LPS和(或)2000 U/mL的IFN-α作用于U937细胞,MTT检测细胞生长抑制率,流式细胞术(FCM)检测细胞凋亡率,半定量逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR) 法检测作用48 h后U937细胞中caspase-8 mRNA的表达。结果:LPS与IFN-α联用较单用LPS、IFN-α能明显抑制U937细胞增殖、增加细胞凋亡率(P<0.01),且各药物组较对照组均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。LPS与IFN-α联用作用48h后,caspase-8mRNA的表达水平较IFN-α组、LPS组和对照组升高(P<0.01)。结论:LPS与IFN-α联用能有效抑制白血病细胞的增殖并诱导其凋亡,其机制可能与caspase-8的激活有关。

Abstract: Objective:To study the apoptosis of U937 cells induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-alpha (IFN-a) synergies and its clinical mechanism . Methods:The U937 cells were given with various concentrations of 200ng/ml of LPS and (or) 2000U/ml of IFN-a, the inhibitory ratio was measured by MTT assay, apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry ( FCM ) , and the expression of caspase-8 mRNA was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) after48 hours . Results: LPS in combination with IFN-a could inhibit U937 cell proliferation and increase apoptosis rate in comparison with LPS or IFN-a group (P<0.01), and each drug group are statistically significant compared with the control group(P<0.01)。The expression level of caspase-8 mRNA increased significantly 48h after LPS and IFN-a used in comparison with LPS/IFN-a group and the control group(P<0.01)。Conclusion: LPS in combination with IFN-a can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of U937 leukemia cells,and the apoptosis mechanism may be related with the activation of caspase-8.
