通过激活或阻断内向整流钾通道2.1(inwardly-rectifying potassium channel 2.1, Kir2.1),检测巨噬细胞M1/M2型极化标志物及相关细胞因子的改变,探讨Kir2.1在脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide, LPS)或白细胞介素4(interleukin-4, IL-4)诱导的巨噬细胞M1/M2型极化过程中的具体作用。采用RAW264.7小鼠巨噬细胞系,将未转染慢病毒的RAW264.7细胞分为对照(control)组、LPS组、IL-4组、LPS+zacopride(Kir2.1选择性激动剂)组及IL-4+ML133(Kir2.1选择性阻断剂)组,将转染慢病毒的RAW264.7细胞分为vector组、LPS+vector组、IL-4+vector组、KD-shKir2.1组、LPS+KD-shKir2.1组及IL-4+KD-shKir2.1组。应用ELISA技术检测巨噬细胞培养液上清中IL-1β、IL-6和肿瘤坏死因子α(tumor necrosis factor-α, TNF-α)的浓度;应用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测巨噬细胞中Kir2.1、诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase, iNOS)、CD86、CD206、IL-6及TNF-α的mRNA表达;应用细胞免疫荧光技术和Western blot技术检测巨噬细胞中Kir2.1、iNOS、CD86及CD206的定位和表达。Kir2.1在RAW264.7细胞的胞膜及胞质中均有表达,并且LPS干预RAW264.7细胞后Kir2.1的蛋白表达显著下降(<0.01),IL-4干预巨噬细胞后Kir2.1的蛋白表达显著升高(<0.01)。激活Kir2.1能够显著减少炎症细胞因子的释放(<0.05或<0.01),降低M1型极化标志物iNOS和CD86的mRNA和蛋白表达(<0.05或<0.01),而阻断或敲减Kir2.1能够显著增加炎症细胞因子的释放(<0.05或<0.01),升高M1型极化标志物iNOS和CD86的mRNA和蛋白表达(<0.05或<0.01),降低M2型极化标志物CD206的mRNA和蛋白表达(<0.05或<0.01)。激活Kir2.1能够抑制LPS诱导的巨噬细胞向M1型极化;而阻断或敲减Kir2.1能够促进LPS诱导的巨噬细胞向M1型极化,抑制IL-4诱导的巨噬细胞向M2型极化。

巨噬细胞极化;内向整流钾通道;炎症;动脉粥样硬化

动脉粥样硬化(atherosclerosis, AS)是一种以粥样斑块为特征的心血管疾病[1-3],巨噬细胞作为斑块中炎症因子的主要来源,能够影响AS进程及结局[4-6]。巨噬细胞在各种因素诱导下,能够转变为不同的极化类型[7-8],即M1型巨噬细胞(经典激活型巨噬细胞)和M2型巨噬细胞(替代激活型巨噬细胞),二者在各种因素调节下处于动态平衡状态[9-10]。同时,巨噬细胞极化受多种钾离子通道调节,如内向整流钾离子通道(inwardly-rectifying potassium channels, Kir)等[11-12]。Kir2.1作为其中重要的成员之一,参与动作电位复极化等过程[13-15]。有文献报道,Kir2.1参与细胞分化,具有控制骨髓源性巨噬细胞增殖、活化和凋亡的作用[16-17]。因此,我们推测:Kir2.1可能通过调节脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide, LPS)或白细胞介素4(interleukin-4, IL-4)诱导的M1/M2型巨噬细胞极化,影响相关炎症细胞因子的释放,进而影响AS进展。为验证此假设,本实验采用LPS或IL-4建立巨噬细胞极化模型,一方面给予Kir2.1选择性阻断剂ML133或选择性激动剂zacopride干预,另一方面采用慢病毒转染巨噬细胞以降低Kir2.1的表达,应用ELISA、实时荧光定量PCR、Western blot及细胞免疫荧光技术,探讨Kir2.1在LPS或IL-4诱导的M1/M2型巨噬细胞极化中的具体功能,阐明巨噬细胞的Kir2.1在病理生理过程中的作用。

结果

1 LPS和IL-4能够调节巨噬细胞中Kir2.1的蛋白表达和mRNA表达

Kir2.1在巨噬细胞的胞膜及胞质中均有表达,LPS干预RAW264.7细胞后显著降低了Kir2.1蛋白和mRNA的表达水平,而IL-4干预RAW264.7细胞后Kir2.1的蛋白和mRNA表达水平显著提高(<0.01),见图1。

2 激活Kir2.1抑制LPS诱导的巨噬细胞向M1型极化

如图2所示,经LPS干预后,RAW264.7细胞IL-6、TNF-α、iNOS和CD86的mRNA表达水平,培养液上清中IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α的浓度,以及iNOS和CD86的蛋白表达水平均显著升高(<0.05或<0.01);与LPS组相比,LPS+zacopride组IL-6、TNF-α、iNOS和CD86的mRNA表达水平,培养液上清中IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α的浓度,以及iNOS和CD86的蛋白表达水平均显著降低(<0.05或<0.01)。可见,激活Kir2.1能够抑制LPS诱导的巨噬细胞向M1型极化。

3 敲减Kir2.1促进LPS诱导的巨噬细胞向M1型极化

如图3A所示,未转染慢病毒的control组无绿色荧光,而vector组和KD-shKir2.1组有绿色荧光,表明慢病毒已成功转染RAW264.7细胞。为进一步验证慢病毒敲减Kir2.1的效率,我们检测了RAW264.7细胞中Kir2.1的mRNA和蛋白表达。与vector组相比,KD-shKir2.1组RAW264.7细胞中Kir2.1的mRNA和蛋白表达水平均显著降低(<0.01),见图3B、C。

如图4所示,敲减Kir2.1能够提高RAW264.7细胞培养液上清中IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α水平,增加IL-6、TNF-α、iNOS和CD86的mRNA表达,以及iNOS和CD86的蛋白表达(<0.05或<0.01),表明敲减Kir2.1能促进LPS诱导的巨噬细胞向M1型极化。

讨论

AS是一种常见的慢性炎性疾病[20-21]。巨噬细胞不同的极化类型被认为是AS斑块发生发展的关键动力[22-25]。巨噬细胞上有多种钾离子通道表达[26]。目前已有研究,证实电压门控性钾通道1.3在巨噬细胞M1/M2型极化过程中发挥关键作用[27],但Kir2.1是否参与调节巨噬细胞M1/M2型极化尚不明确。本研究采用LPS和IL-4分别诱导构建巨噬细胞M1和M2极化模型,探讨Kir2.1是否通过调节巨噬细胞M1/M2型极化,影响炎症细胞因子的释放,进而参与AS进展。

Kir2.1作为巨噬细胞中主要的离子通道之一,参与了巨噬细胞的分化和成熟。多项研究表明,Kir2.1在不同组织中调节巨噬细胞活化、增殖等多项生理功能[28-29],但Kir2.1在巨噬细胞M1/M2型极化过程中发挥的具体作用尚未明确报导。因此,本实验通过LPS或IL-4诱导巨噬细胞M1/M2型极化,观察到Kir2.1主要表达在巨噬细胞的胞膜和胞质中,并且LPS能够下调巨噬细胞中Kir2.1的蛋白表达,而IL-4能够上调巨噬细胞中Kir2.1的蛋白表达。国内外研究表明,zacopride作为一种Kir2.1选择性激动剂,能够剂量依赖性地增强内向整流钾电流,在心血管疾病中具有关键性的保护作用[30-31]。Wang等[32]也检测出ML133对Kir2.x家族的其他成员几乎没有选择性,是迄今报道的具选择性的Kir家族小分子阻断剂。因此本研究采用zacopride激活Kir2.1,结果显示激活Kir2.1能够抑制巨噬细胞向M1型极化,另一方面采用ML133阻断Kir2.1,显示阻断Kir2.1能够抑制巨噬细胞向M2型极化。另有研究通过应用转染技术检测到Kir2.1具有控制多种细胞类型电活动的作用。本研究也通过慢病毒转染巨噬细胞RAW264.7,观察到敲减Kir2.1能够促进巨噬细胞向M1型极化,抑制巨噬细胞向M2型极化。

综上所述,本研究表明巨噬细胞中存在Kir2.1的表达,激活Kir2.1可以抑制巨噬细胞向M1型极化,阻断或敲减Kir2.1可抑制巨噬细胞向M2型极化并促进巨噬细胞向M1型极化。这些结果表明,Kir2.1能够调节巨噬细胞极化过程,由此推测上调Kir2.1对AS具有一定的缓解作用,但它具体通过哪些信号通路调节巨噬细胞极化尚不明确。目前考虑Kir2.1参与NF-κB信号通路和JAK/STAT信号通路并在其中发挥调节作用,因此后续研究将会从Kir2.1在这2条信号通路中的具体作用机制这一方面做进一步探讨。

To explore the specific role of inwardly-rectifying potassium channel 2.1 (Kir2.1) in the M1/M2 polarization of macrophage induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin-4 (IL-4).Mouse RAW264.7 macrophages were used in this study. The RAW264.7 cells were divided into control group, LPS group, IL-4 group, LPS+zacopride (a selective agonist) group and IL-4+ML133 (a selective blocker of Kir2.1) group. The RAW264.7 cells infected with lentivirus were divided into vector group, LPS+vector group, IL-4+vector group, KD-shKir2.1 group, LPS+KD-shKir2.1 group and IL-4+KD-shKir2.1 group. The concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the supernatant of macrophage medium were detected by ELISA. The mRNA levels of Kir2.1, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), CD86, CD206, IL-6 and TNF-α in the RAW264.7 cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The location and protein expression of Kir2.1, iNOS, CD86 and CD206 in the RAW264.7 cells were detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.The Kir2.1 was mainly expressed in both membrane and cytoplasm of the RAW264.7 cells. The protein expression of Kir2.1 was significantly decreased after LPS intervention and significantly increased after IL-4 intervention in the RAW264.7 cells (<0.01). Activation of Kir2.1 significantly reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines (<0.05 or<0.01), decreased the mRNA and protein expression of iNOS and CD86 (<0.05 or<0.01). Inhibition of Kir2.1 significantly increased the release of inflammatory cytokines (<0.05 or<0.01) and the mRNA and protein levels of iNOS and CD86 (<0.05 or<0.01), but decreased the mRNA and protein expression of CD206 (<0.05 or<0.01).Activation of Kir2.1 inhibits the M1 polarization of LPS-induced macrophages. Inhibition of Kir2.1 promotes the M1 polarization of LPS-induced macrophages and decreases the M2 polarization of IL-4-induced macrophages.
