摘要
目的探讨环氧化酶-2(Cyclooxygenase-2,COX-2)表达水平同单核-内皮细胞黏附性的关系及其相关机制。方法采用细胞计数法检测单核-内皮细胞的黏附性;实时荧光定量PCR检测内皮细胞COX-2mRNA表达量;Western blot检测内皮细胞COX-2蛋白表达量;ELISA检测内皮细胞前列腺素E2(Prostaglandin E2,PGE2)水平。结果内皮细胞COX-2mRNA及蛋白表达量在炎症因子TNF-α、IL-1β刺激后显著上调,并随时间变化(P<0.05);内皮细胞COX-2蛋白表达量增加与PGE2水平及单核-内皮细胞的黏附性成正相关;使用COX-2特异性抑制剂NS398预孵育后,内皮细胞PGE2表达水平降低(P<0.05),单核-内皮细胞的黏附性受到显著抑制(P<0.01)。结论内皮细胞COX-2mRNA及蛋白表达量在炎症因子TNF-α、IL-1β刺激后明显上调,其表达增加后可能通过催化花生四烯酸代谢成PGE2,使单核-内皮细胞的黏附性增强,从而影响动脉粥样硬化性疾病的进程。
Objective To investigate the relationship between Cyclooxygenase-2 levels and monocyte-endothelial cells adhesion. Methods Monocyte-endotheliat cells adhesion was assessed by counting cells number. The expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot assay. The expression of Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was performed by ELISA. Results Inflammatory cytokines TNF-α、IL-1β could significantly induce the ex- pression of COX-2 mRNA and protein in varying degrees(P〈0.05) ; High COX-2 levels could result in high PGE2 level and induce monocyte-endothelial cells adhesion signifieantly;COX-2 specific inhibitor NS398 significantly inhibited the inflammatory cytokines induced PGE2 expression (P〈0.05),then affecting monoeyte-endothelial cells adhesion (P〈 0.01). Conclusion Inflammatory cytokines TNF-α、IL-1β could induce the expression of COX-2, which could induce the expression of PGE2 ,monocyte-endothelial cells adhesion and then could affect the progress of the atheroselerotic dis- ease.
