ABSTRACT
Objective:
To study whether autoimmune regulator (Aire) affects macrophage polarization.Methods:
The mouse mononuclear macrophage cell line RAW264. 7 cells, stable expressing GFP-Aire protein RAW264. 7 cells ( A33-3 ) and stable expressing GFP protein RAW264. 7 cells (C1-6) were stimulated with LPS,IL-4 and LPS combined with immune complex respectively to make the macrophage polarize to M1 (LPS),M2a (IL-4) and M2b (LPS with immune complex). To investigate the effects of Aire on the various types of macrophages polarization,the M1 related molecules (IL-1α,iNOS and IL-6),M2a related molecules (Arg-1) and M2b related molecule (IL-10) were detected by Real-time PCR.Results:
The expression of IL-1α,IL-6 and inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) ,the products of M1 macrophages, were significantly upregulated in RAW264. 7 cells treated with LPS at 0. 5 μg/ml. The expression of Arg-1 and IL-10 mRNA in RAW264. 7 cells increased in a dose-dependent manner after stimulation with IL-4 or LPS combined with immune complexes, respectively. M1 macrophage-related marker iNOS and IL-1 increased, whereas IL-6 levels decreased in A33-3 cells compared with C1-6 cells after treatment with LPS. The expression of Arg1 and IL-10 were downregulated in A33-3 cells compared with C1-6 cells after IL-4 and LPS combined with immune complexes stimulation,respectively.Conclusion:
Aire may promote M1 macrophage polarization while inhibit M2a and M2b macrophage polarization.
