目的 观察阿托伐他汀对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的THP-1巨噬细胞炎症因子分泌的影响,并探讨其机制.方法 100 nmol/L佛波酯孵育THP-1细胞24 h,使其分化为巨噬细胞后,换无血清培养基,加入LPS和(或)阿托伐他汀进行处理.酶联免疫吸附法检测细胞上清液中白细胞介素1β(IL-1β)和白细胞介素18(IL-18)含量,荧光定量PCR检测细胞核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域样受体蛋白1(NLRP1)炎性体的mRNA表达,Western blot检测细胞NLRP1炎性体的蛋白表达.结果 阿托伐他汀可呈浓度、时间依赖性抑制LPS诱导的THP-1巨噬细胞IL-1β和IL-18释放;阿托伐他汀可下调THP-1巨噬细胞NLRP1炎性体mRNA和蛋白的表达.结论 阿托伐他汀抑制巨噬细胞炎症因子分泌,其作用机制可能与其下调NLRP1炎性体表达有关.“,”Aim To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of atorvastatin on the THP-1 macrophage proinflammatory cytokines release induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Methods THP-1 cells were treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (100 nmol/L) for 24 h to differentiate into macrophages.The medium was then replaced with serum-free medium containing LPS and (or) atorvastatin.The secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1 β) and interleukin18 (IL-18) were quantitated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis.The mRNA level of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 1 (NLRP1) inflammasome was measured by real-time PCR.Western blot was employed to analyze the protein expression of NLRP1 inflammasome.Results Atorvastatin inhibited IL-1β and IL-18 secretion induced by LPS in THP-1 macrophages in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Atorvastatin decreased the mRNA and protein expression of NLRP1 inflammasome in THP-1 macrophages.Conclusion Atorvastatin reduces proinflammatory cytokines release from macrophages,and the mechanism might be related to the inhibition of NLRP1 inflammasome expression.
