摘要:

目的 研究姜黄素对人单核细胞株THP-1 Toll样受体4(TLR4)信号传导通路中相关因子mRNA水平的影响。方法 用不同浓度姜黄素(50、25、12.5 mg/L)预处理THP-1细胞12 h,0.043 mg/L地塞米松处理组作为阳性对照,继而用1 mg/L脂多糖(LPS)刺激诱导细胞4 h,以不做处理的THP-1作为阴性对照,仅用1 mg/L LPS刺激的THP-1作为LPS刺激组。提取细胞总RNA,用RT-PCR方法检测TLR4信号传导通路中TNF受体相关因子(TRAF)6、IL-1受体相关激酶(IRAK1)、核因子κB(NF-κB)mRNA的表达情况。结果 未经处理的THP-1细胞经LPS刺激4 h,可以显著提高TRAF6、IRAK1、NF-κB mRNA的表达,与阴性对照组比较,t值分别为38.69、39.13、23.99(P < 0.01)。50、25 mg/L姜黄素可以明显抑制THP-1细胞经LPS诱导后TRAF6、IRAK1、NF-κB mRNA的表达(P值均 < 0.01),抑制率均在50%以上。结论 一定浓度的姜黄素可以抑制LPS诱导后THP-1细胞TRAF6、IRAK1、NF-κB mRNA的表达,表明姜黄素对TLR4信号传导通路中相关因子mRNA水平有调节作用。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of curcumin on mRNA expression of cytokines related to Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling in THP-1 cells. Methods After pretreatment with different concentrations (50, 25, 12.5 mg/L) of curcumin or dexamethasone for 12 hours, THP-1 cells were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 mg/L) for 4 hours followed by the collection of cells. Then total RNA was isolated from these cells and subjected to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection of mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK1) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB. THP-1 cells without pretreatment or stimulation served as negative control, and those only stimulated with LPS served as LPS group. Results After stimulation with LPS (1 mg/L) for 4 hours, the mRNA expressions of TRAF6, IRAK1 and NF-κB were significantly upregulated in THP-1 cells compared with negative control cells (t = 38.69, 39.13, 23.99, all P < 0.01). Curcumin of 50 mg/L and 25 mg/L significantly inhibited the mRNA expressions of TRAF6, IRAK1 and NF-κB upregulated by LPS with an inhibition rate of more than 50% (all P < 0.01). Conclusions Certain concentrations of curcumin can inhibit the mRNA expressions of TRAF6, IRAK1 and NF-κB,which demonstrates the regulatory effect of curcumin on the mRNA expressions of TLR4 signaling pathway-associated cytokines.
