Oxidized high-density lipoprotein promotes maturation and migration of bone marrow derived dendritic cells from C57BL/6J mice / 中国医学科学杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the influence of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) on the maturation and migration of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) from C57BL/6J mice.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The C57BL/6J mice bone marrow cell suspension was prepared and purified. Recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF) and recombinant interleukin-4 (rmIL-4) were used to promote monocytes to differentiate and suppress lymphocytes. Then 50 microg/mL oxHDL was added to stimulate BMDCs, using 50 microg/mL high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as homologous protein control, PBS as negative control, and 1 microg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as positive control. The CD86 and MHCII expression rates were detected with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Liquid scintillation counting (LSC) was used in mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLRs) to reflect the ability of BMDCs in stimulating the proliferation of homologous T cells. Levels of cytokines IL-12 and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. The cell migration was evaluated with the transwell system.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with PBS group, the expressions of CD86 and MHCII, counts per minute of MLRs, secretion of IL-12 and IL-10, and number of migrated cells in oxHDL group and LPS group significantly increased (all P<0.05), while the increment was less in oxHDL group than LPS group. The number of migrated cells in oxHDL group was about twice of that in HDL group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>OxHDL may promote the maturation and migration of BMDCs in vitro.</p>
