In granulosa cells, TLR4-mediated LPS-induced immune response interferes with ovarian granulosa cell function.
LPS-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression was monitored by real-time PCR and NF-κB was determined by the immuno-blotting and immuno-staining in granulosa cells in vitro.
The LPS (1 μg/mL) increased pro-inflammatory gene expression which was reverted back by treatment with TLR4 signaling inhibitor. Cotreatment of CLA (10 μm) with LPS did not show any effect on LPS-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression but granulosa cells pre-treated with CLA for 24 hr, attenuated LPS-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression and nuclear NF-κB. GW9662, a PPARγ-inhibitor, further increased the expression of pro-inflammatory genes.
The present findings reiterated that pre-treatment with CLA can prevent LPS-induced granulosa cells dysfunction.
在颗粒细胞中,Toll样受体4(TLR4)介导的脂多糖(LPS)诱导的免疫反应会干扰卵巢颗粒细胞功能。
通过实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)监测LPS诱导的促炎基因表达,并通过免疫印迹和免疫染色法在体外颗粒细胞中测定核因子κB(NF-κB)。
LPS(1μg/mL)增加了促炎基因表达,而用TLR4信号抑制剂处理可使其恢复。共轭亚油酸(CLA,10μm)与LPS共同处理对LPS诱导的促炎基因表达没有任何影响,但预先用CLA处理24小时的颗粒细胞可减弱LPS诱导的促炎基因表达和核NF-κB。PPARγ抑制剂GW9662进一步增加了促炎基因的表达。
目前的研究结果重申,预先用CLA处理可预防LPS诱导的颗粒细胞功能障碍。
