To investigate the influence of IL-1 on the biosynthesis of nitric oxide by rabbit mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) cells.
MCC cells of white rabbits were harvested enzymatically and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 0.4% newborn calf serum. In the experiment, a variety of concentrations of IL-1 were added to the medium. NO production was determined as nitrite accumulation in the medium. The effects of IL-1 on the mRNA levels of inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) were assessed by mRNA in situ hybridization method.
IL-1 can significantly increase nitric oxide synthesis by MCC cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, normal MCC cells had light expression of iNOS expression and IL-1 (10-100 micrograms/L) promoted the expression of iNOS.
IL-1 can inhibit the chondrocytes proliferation and induce apoptosis that might be through the way of up-regulation of iNOS expression.
探讨白细胞介素-1(IL-1)对兔下颌髁突软骨(MCC)细胞一氧化氮生物合成的影响。
采用酶解法获取白兔的MCC细胞,并在补充有0.4%新生牛血清的DMEM中培养。实验中,向培养基中添加多种浓度的IL-1。通过测定培养基中亚硝酸盐的积累来确定一氧化氮的产生量。采用mRNA原位杂交法评估IL-1对诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)mRNA水平的影响。
IL-1能以浓度依赖性方式显著增加MCC细胞的一氧化氮合成。此外,正常MCC细胞中iNOS表达较轻,而IL-1(10 - 100微克/升)可促进iNOS的表达。
IL-1可能通过上调iNOS表达的方式抑制软骨细胞增殖并诱导其凋亡。
