Study on the mechanism of S100A9-induced secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor-A by monocytes / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of S100A9-induced secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A)by monocytes.Methods Peripheral blood specimen were collected from healthy individuals undergoing physical exami-nation and the CD14 + monocytes were purified by using immunomagnetic beads and the expression of the receptor for advanced gly-cation endproducts (RAGE)was detected by flow cytomertry.In vitro CD14 + monocytes were stimulated by S100A9,and anti-RAGE antibody or NK-κB signal pathway inhibitor were pre-incubated for 1 hour and then stimulated by S100A9,the levels of VEGF-A were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The high level of RAGE was expressed by isolated CD14 + monocytes,after S100A9 stimulation,the secretion of VEGF-A by CD14 + monocytes was significantly increased in a dose and time dependent manner.However,the inducing VEGF-A was significantly decreased(P <0.01 ),while pre-treated with anti-RAGE antibody or NK-κB inhibitor (P <0.01).Conclusion S100A9 inducing the secretion of VEGF-A by monocytes and is de-pended on RAGE-NK-κB signal pathway,suggesting that S100A9 might promote angiogenesis.
