摘要: 目的研究结核分枝杆菌早期分泌抗原靶-6(ESAT-6)对人THP-1单核细胞IL-12产生的影响及其作用的细胞信号传导机制。方法应用亲和层析方法纯化大肠埃希菌表达重组的结核分枝杆菌ESAT-6抗原,采用ELISA法检测不同浓度ESAT-6刺激人THP-1单核细胞IL-12产生的影响,以及对LPS刺激的反应,应用各种细胞信号传导通路抑制剂来探讨ESAT-6诱导单核细胞IL-12产生相关可能的信号通路。结果结核分枝杆菌ESAT-6分泌抗原在2.5~10g/ml浓度范围能依赖性地刺激人THP-1单核细胞产生IL-12(p70 及其亚单位p40)。细胞信号传导通路JNKMAPK的选择性抑制剂SP600125能促进ESAT-6刺激单核细胞IL-12p40产生,而信号通路PKR抑制剂2-AP有显著性抑制其作用。结论ESAT-6抗原诱导人THP-1单核细胞IL-12产生,JNK MAPK及PKR信号通路可能参与了此过程的调控。

Abstract: ObjectiveTo study the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 6-kilodalton early secreted antigenic target (ESAT-6) on interleukin 12 (IL-12) production from human THP-1 monocytes. MethodsExpression and purification of ESAT-6 in E.Coli. Recombinant ESAT-6 was purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid metal affinity chromatography under native conditions. Human monocytes were treated with ESAT-6, in present of LPS or not at different culture periods or dose. Supernatants were collected for IL-12 detection by ELISA. Signaling pathway inhibitors was used to find the signaling pathway of ESAT-6. ResultsMycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 antigen dose-dependently induced IL-12 release from THP-1 monocytes; Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) had synergic effect on ESAT-6 induced IL-12 production from THP-1 monocytes.1; The enhancement effect of ESAT-6 on IL-12 production was promoted by selective inhibitor of JNK MAPK, SP600125, while it was inhibited by PKR selective inhibitor, 2-AP. ConclusionESAT-6 may induce monocytes activation and enhance IL-12 release. This may have important significance of protection in the early period of infection.
