Effects of chemotherapeutic agents on the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in helmtocellular carcinoma cell lines HeG2 and HepG2.2.15 / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of 5-fluorouraeil(5-FU)and eisplatin(DDP)on the expression of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)and Toll-like receptor4(TLR4)in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2 and HepG2.2.15.Methods Direct immanotlaorescenee flow cytometry was used to detect mean flubrescence intensity(MFI)of TLR2 and TLR4,and TLR2 and TLR4 positive cell percentage in HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells before and after treated with 5-FU.and DDP at various concentrations for 24h,48h and 72h.Results MFI of TLR2 and TLR4.and TLR2 and 11LR4 positive cell percentage in HepG2.2.15 cells were significantly higher than those in HepG2(P＜0.01).After HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells were treated with different concentration of 5-FU and DDP,MFI of TLR2 and TLR4,TLR2 and TLR4 positive cell percentage in HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells almost had no change.only MFI of TLR2 in HepG2.2.15 cells decreased after cells were treated with 5-FU at the concentrations of 100,200μg/ml and DDP at the concentrations of 20μg/ml for 72h(P＜0.05 for all).Conclusions 5-FU and DDP can not activate TLR2 and TLR4 signal pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2 and HepG2.2.15.To find the activated pathway in TLR2 and TLR4 signal pathway,some other methods should be used,and this will be helpful in antieancer therapy.
