This study investigated the role of HSP70 in modulating intestinal γδ T cells' Th17 response in -induced PI-IBS mice model.
The intestinal HSP70's expression and mRNA level were measured by Western blot and RT-PCR. The intestinal γδ T cell's morphological changes were analyzed using immunofluorescence staining and confocal laser scanning microscope. The pro-inflammatory cytokines' level was detected by ELISA. The isolated and purified γδ T cells were pre-incubated with HSP70 and their functions including proliferation, apoptosis, activation and production of IL-17 were also detected.
Heat treatment augmented intestinal HSP70 expression and alleviated the clinical presentations in PI-IBS mice. Meanwhile, intestinal γδ T cells and local IL-17 level were increased by pre-induction of HSP70. HSP70 promoted the proliferation of PI-IBS mice's intestinal γδ T cells, inhibited the apoptosis and stimulated these cells to secret IL-17 rather than IFN-γ.
Our results suggest that HSP70 plays a protective role via up-regulating intestinal γδ T cell's Th17 response in PI-IBS mice.
本研究调查了热休克蛋白70(HSP70)在调节诱导性肠易激综合征(PI-IBS)小鼠模型中肠道γδ T细胞的Th17反应中的作用。
采用蛋白质免疫印迹法(Western blot)和逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测肠道HSP70的表达及mRNA水平。运用免疫荧光染色和共聚焦激光扫描显微镜分析肠道γδ T细胞的形态变化。通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测促炎细胞因子水平。将分离纯化的γδ T细胞与HSP70预孵育,并检测其增殖、凋亡、活化及白细胞介素-17(IL-17)产生等功能。
热处理增强了PI-IBS小鼠肠道HSP70的表达,并减轻了其临床表现。同时,预先诱导HSP70可使肠道γδ T细胞及局部IL-17水平升高。HSP70促进了PI-IBS小鼠肠道γδ T细胞的增殖,抑制了其凋亡,并刺激这些细胞分泌IL-17而非干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)。
我们的结果表明,HSP70通过上调PI-IBS小鼠肠道γδ T细胞的Th17反应发挥保护作用。
