: To investigate the role of G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor-1, Gpbar1 (TGR5) in the pathogenesis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.: The mRNA level of TGR5, iNOS, Arg1, CD16, and CD206 in macrophages was assayed by real-time PCR. ELISA was used to detect the production of cytokines in cell culture supernatants. The frequencies of CD4IFN-γ and CD4 IL-17 T cells were tested by flow cytometry.: A decreased expression of TGR5 in M1 macrophages was observed in active VKH patients as compared with normal controls. TGR5 stimulation of M1 macrophages with INT-777 caused a shift of the inflammatory M1 toward the anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage subtype. TGR5 activation of macrophages co-cultured with CD4 T cells inhibited Th1 and Th17 polarization, as well as the release of IFN-γ and IL-17 in the culture supernatant.: Our results show that a decreased TGR5 expression might contribute to the pathogenesis of VKH disease.
探讨 G 蛋白偶联胆汁酸受体 1(Gpbar1,即 TGR5)在 Vogt-小柳原田综合征(VKH)发病机制中的作用。
采用实时 PCR 法检测巨噬细胞中 TGR5、iNOS、Arg1、CD16 和 CD206 的 mRNA 水平,采用 ELISA 法检测细胞培养上清液中细胞因子的产生,采用流式细胞术检测 CD4 IFN-γ 和 CD4 IL-17 T 细胞的频率。
与正常对照组相比,活动期 VKH 患者 M1 巨噬细胞中 TGR5 的表达降低。INT-777 刺激 M1 巨噬细胞可使炎症性 M1 向抗炎性 M2 巨噬细胞亚型转变。与 CD4 T 细胞共培养的巨噬细胞激活 TGR5 可抑制 Th1 和 Th17 极化,以及培养上清液中 IFN-γ 和 IL-17 的释放。
我们的研究结果表明,TGR5 表达降低可能导致 VKH 病的发病机制。
