INTRODUCTION
The chemokine CXCL12 and its receptors CXCR4 and 7 play crucial roles in the immune system. In the present study, regulation of this pathway was further examined using the in-vitro model of undifferentiated human THP-1 monocytes (u-THP-1) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 macrophages (d-THP-1), to assess the effects of differentiation and the TLR4 ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the pathway.
METHODS/RESULTS: Differentiation did not affect the CXCR4, 7 mRNA levels. Interestingly, the CXCL12 and CXCR7 proteins but not CXCR4 were found to be up-regulated during differentiation. LPS, through CD14-dependent pathway, induced CXCL12 and CXCR4, 7 mRNA levels to a greater magnitude in d- than u-THP-1. The induction effect on CXCL12 stimulated by LPS was confirmed using ELISA. Increased migration of u-THP-1 was observed using conditioned medium from LPS-treated d-THP-1. Additionally, d-THP-1, although expressed higher CXCR7 protein levels, failed to migrate toward CXCL12. In contrast, LPS did not affect CXCR4, 7 protein levels.
CONCLUSION
Hence, this study indicated that CXCL12, CXCR4, and CXCR7 were differentially expressed and regulated in u-THP-1 and d-THP-1 cells in response to external stimuli. Importantly, we reported here a novel observation that uncoupling exists between transcriptional and translational regulation of CXCR4, 7 expressions by differentiation and TLR stimuli.
简介
趋化因子 CXCL12 及其受体 CXCR4 和 7 在免疫系统中发挥着至关重要的作用。在本研究中,我们使用未分化的人 THP-1 单核细胞(u-THP-1)和佛波醇 12-肉豆蔻酸 13-乙酸酯(PMA)分化的 THP-1 巨噬细胞(d-THP-1)的体外模型进一步研究了该途径的调节,以评估分化和 TLR4 配体脂多糖(LPS)对该途径的影响。
方法/结果:分化不会影响 CXCR4、7 mRNA 水平。有趣的是,在分化过程中发现 CXCL12 和 CXCR7 蛋白而非 CXCR4 上调。LPS 通过 CD14 依赖性途径,在 d-THP-1 中诱导 CXCL12 和 CXCR4、7 mRNA 水平的增加幅度大于 u-THP-1。通过 ELISA 证实了 LPS 对 CXCL12 刺激的诱导作用。用 LPS 处理的 d-THP-1 的条件培养基观察到 u-THP-1 的迁移增加。此外,尽管 d-THP-1 表达更高水平的 CXCR7 蛋白,但未能向 CXCL12 迁移。相反,LPS 不影响 CXCR4、7 蛋白水平。
结论
因此,本研究表明,u-THP-1 和 d-THP-1 细胞对外界刺激的 CXCL12、CXCR4 和 CXCR7 的表达存在差异表达和调节。重要的是,我们在这里报告了一个新的观察结果,即分化和 TLR 刺激对 CXCR4、7 表达的转录和翻译调节存在解耦。
