Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a pro-inflammatory state characterized by high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Previously, we showed that CRP accentuated a macrophage (MO) activity in spontaneously diabetic biobreeding (BB) rats and increased the MO activity of protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-α) and p47phox. In this report, we tested the effects of molecular inhibition of CRP effects on MO activity using antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) to both PKC-α and p47phox.
Prior to administration of human C-reactive protein (hCRP) daily for 3 days, ASO or scrambled ASO to either PKC-α or p47phox was also delivered for 3 days and after killing on day 4, peritoneal MOs were isolated.
The increase in the levels of superoxide anion, interleukin (IL)-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and IL-6 release in MOs with hCRP compared to human albumin was significantly attenuated by antisense to either PKC-α and p47phox (p < 0.01 vs. scrambled ASO; n = 5 per group).
Our novel data suggest that antisense to either PKC-α or p47phox attenuates the pro-inflammatory effects of human CRP on MOs in diabetic rats.
1 型糖尿病(T1DM)是一种炎症状态,其特征是 C 反应蛋白(CRP)水平升高。此前,我们表明 CRP 加重了自发性糖尿病生物繁殖(BB)大鼠中巨噬细胞(MO)的活性,并增加了蛋白激酶 C-α(PKC-α)和 p47phox 的 MO 活性。在本报告中,我们使用针对 PKC-α 和 p47phox 的反义寡核苷酸(ASO)测试了抑制 CRP 作用对 MO 活性的影响。
在每天给予人 C 反应蛋白(hCRP)3 天之前,还给予针对 PKC-α 或 p47phox 的 ASO 或乱序 ASO 3 天,并在第 4 天杀死后,分离腹腔 MO。
与人白蛋白相比,hCRP 增加了 MO 中超氧阴离子、白细胞介素(IL)-1、单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和 IL-6 的释放水平,抗 PKC-α 和 p47phox 的 ASO 明显减弱(与乱序 ASO 相比,p < 0.01;每组 n = 5)。
我们的新数据表明,针对 PKC-α 或 p47phox 的 ASO 可减轻 CRP 对糖尿病大鼠 MO 中促炎作用。
