Expression patterns and regulation of cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRR) NOD-1, NOD-2, RIG-1, and MDA5 have not been elucidated in the human female reproductive tract (FRT).
Primary epithelial cells (EC) isolated from Fallopian tube (FT), endometrium (EM), cervix (Cx), and ectocervix (Ecx) were treated with estradiol, poly(I:C), Neisseria gonorrhea (GC), and HIV-1. PRR mRNA expressions were analyzed by Real-time RT-PCR. Conditioned media were analyzed for IL-8 by ELISA.
EC from all FRT compartments constitutively expressed NOD1, NOD2, RIG-1, and MDA5 with highest levels expressed by FT. Stimulation with poly(I:C) resulted in upregulation of NOD2, RIG-1, and MDA5 in all FRT compartments and correlated with increased secretion of IL-8, whereas estradiol treatment had no effects. Exposure to GC and HIV-1 IIIB but not BaL resulted in selective upregulation of NOD2 and MDA5.
PRR are expressed throughout the FRT and differentially regulated by poly(I:C), GC and HIV-1.
细胞质模式识别受体(PRR)NOD-1、NOD-2、RIG-1 和 MDA5 的表达模式和调控在女性生殖道(FRT)中尚未阐明。
从输卵管(FT)、子宫内膜(EM)、宫颈(Cx)和阴道外口(Ecx)分离的原代上皮细胞(EC)用雌二醇、poly(I:C)、淋病奈瑟菌(GC)和 HIV-1 处理。通过实时 RT-PCR 分析 PRR mRNA 的表达。通过 ELISA 分析条件培养基中的 IL-8。
所有 FRT 区室的 EC 均持续表达 NOD1、NOD2、RIG-1 和 MDA5,FT 表达水平最高。poly(I:C)刺激导致所有 FRT 区室的 NOD2、RIG-1 和 MDA5 上调,并与 IL-8 的分泌增加相关,而雌二醇处理没有影响。GC 和 HIV-1 IIIB 但不是 BaL 的暴露导致 NOD2 和 MDA5 的选择性上调。
PRR 在整个 FRT 中表达,并通过 poly(I:C)、GC 和 HIV-1 进行差异调节。
