To investigate the expression of microRNA-146a (miRNA-146a) in NR8383 alveolar macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
NR8383 alveolar macrophages were divided into two groups: LPS treated group and phosphate buffer saline (PBS) control group, and they cultured for 6 hours. The production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the supernatant of cells was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of miRNA-146a of cells was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Compared with PBS control group, the TNF-α content (ng/L) in LPS treated group was significantly increased (650.26±40.53 vs. 6.23±1.76, P<0.01), and miRNA-146a in LPS treated group increased by about (5.33±0.81) folds (P<0.01).
The expression of miRNA-146a was increased in LPS treated NR8383 cells, and miRNA-146a may be involved in the modulation inflammatory response of the NR8383 alveolar macrophage.
研究脂多糖(LPS)处理的NR8383肺泡巨噬细胞中微小RNA-146a(miRNA-146a)的表达情况。
将NR8383肺泡巨噬细胞分为两组:LPS处理组和磷酸盐缓冲盐水(PBS)对照组,培养6小时。采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法测定细胞上清液中肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的产生,通过实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测细胞中miRNA-146a的表达。
与PBS对照组相比,LPS处理组的TNF-α含量(ng/L)显著增加(650.26±40.53 vs. 6.23±1.76,P<0.01),LPS处理组的miRNA-146a增加了约(5.33±0.81)倍(P<0.01)。
LPS处理的NR8383细胞中miRNA-146a的表达增加,且miRNA-146a可能参与调节NR8383肺泡巨噬细胞的炎症反应。
