ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) in promoting the activation of RAW264.7 macrophages. MethodRAW264.7 macrophages were stimulated with LBP at different concentrations (50, 100, 200 mg·L-1), and those stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 100 μg·L-1 and galactose (Gal) at 100 mg·L-1 as positive controls. After 24 h of LBP stimulation, the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the survival rate of RAW264.7 macrophages treated with LBP (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 mg·L-1). The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) in cell culture supernatant were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein and mRNA expression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)/macrophage galactose-type lectin (MGL) pathway of RAW264.7 macrophages was detected by Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. ResultCCK-8 results showed that compared with the results in the blank group, the survival rate of RAW264.7 macrophages decreased in the 400, 800 mg·L-1 LBP groups (P<0.05). ELISA results showed that compared with the blank group, 50 mg·L-1 LBP could promote the secretion of IL-12 in RAW264.7 macrophages (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, 100 mg·L-1 LBP and 200 mg·L-1 LBP could promote the secretion of IL-6 in RAW264.7 macrophages (P<0.05, P<0.01). Western blot results showed that compared with the blank group, the LBP groups (50, 100, 200 mg·L-1) enhanced protein expression levels of MAPK key molecules (p-p38 MAPK, p-ERK, p-NF-κB, and p-JNK) in TLR4, TLR2, and MGL pathways (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the 200 mg·L-1 LBP group could promote the expression level of p-NF-κB protein in RAW264.7 macrophages (P<0.01). Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the blank group, the LBP groups (50, 100, and 200 mg·L-1) enhanced the mRNA expression levels of MAPK key molecules (p38 MAPK, ERK, NF-κB, and JNK) in TLR4 and TLR2 pathways (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the 50 and 200 mg·L-1 LBP groups could promote the mRNA expression levels of JNK and ERK2 in RAW264.7 macrophages (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionLBP can regulate the activation of RAW264.7 macrophages and participate in the immune response through the TLR2/TLR4/MGL pathway.
