摘要:
目的探讨IL-18 对骨关节炎软骨细胞的作用。 方法取骨关节炎患者的膝关节软骨,进行原代细胞培养。不同浓度的IL-18(0,50,150,300 ng/mL)刺激软骨细胞,RT-PCR检测TNFα和COX-2 mRNA的表达,ELISA检测TNFα、PGE2的水平。应用IL-1 受体阻断剂(IL-1Ra)+IL-18 干预软骨细胞,检测软骨细胞COX-2 的表达量和培养液中PGE2的水平。提取软骨细胞RNA,测定IL-18受体的表达。 结果对于COX-2和TNFα,300 ng/mL组和150 ng/mL组mRNA的表达量显著高于对照组(P<0.01,P<0.05)。50、300 ng/mL组的PGE2水平显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。150、300 ng/mL组的TNFα蛋白的浓度显著高于对照组(P<0.05),IL-1Ra 组的PGE2浓度高于对照组(P<0.01),但是低于IL-18 组(P<0.01)。软骨细胞能够检测到IL-18 受体的表达。 结论IL-18诱导软骨细胞产生炎症应答,这种作用和IL-1β有关但不完全依赖IL-1β。 Abstract:Objective To explore the role of interleukin 18(IL-18) on the osteoarthritis (OA) patients' chondrocytes. Methods Knee cartilage samples were obtained from osteoarthritic patients, and the primary cells were cultured. After stimulated by IL-18 (0, 50, 150, 300 ng/mL), chondrocytes were collect to obtain the total RNA, and the supernatant were extracted, too. The mRNA’s expression of COX-2 and TNFα were detected by quantitative RT-PCR and the level of PGE2 and TNFα were investigated using ELISA. Besides IL-18, IL-1 receptor inhibitor (IL-1Ra) was also added into the medium of cell culture. COX-2 mRNA and PGE2 were respectively determination. IL-18 receptors in chondrocytes were detected by RT-PCR. Results mRNA expression of COX-2 and TNFα in 150 and 300 ng/mLwere both significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The level of in 50 and 300 ng/mL group were higher than that in control group (P<0.01). While the concentration of TNFα in 150 and 300 ng/mL groups appeared more than that in control group significantly (P<0.01). And the density of PGE2 in IL-Ra group was significantly more than that in control group, but less than that of IL-18 group. IL-18R can be detected on chondrocytes. Conclusions IL-18 induces inflammatory responses in osteoarthritic chondrocytes and that this effect was related with, although not entirely dependent on, IL-1β. -
