Relationship between TIPE2 and caspase-11 during pyroptosis in macrophages of mice / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the relationship between tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) and caspase-11 during pyroptosis in macrophages of mice.Methods J774A.1 macrophages of mice were divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table method:nonspecific siRNA (Scr-siRNA) group (S group),Scr-siRNA plus LPS/ATP group (S+LPS/ATP group),TIPE2-siRNA group (T group) and TIPE2-siRNA plus LPS/ATP group (T+LPS/ATP group).The corresponding siRNA and Lipofectamine2000 transfection reagents were added to each group,and transfection was performed for 24-48 h,and in addition LPS 1.0 μg/ml was then added,cells were incubated for 5 h,then ATP 5.0 mmol/L was added,and cells were incubated for 1 h in S + LPS/ATP and T + LPS/ATP groups.Cells were collected to detect the expression of TIPE2,caspase-11,NOD-like receptor familypyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and caspase-1 (by Western blot).The supernatant was collected for determination of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities and concentrations of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-18 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Results Compared with group S,the expression of TIPE2 was significantly down-regulated,the expression of caspase-11,NLRP3 and caspase-1 was up-regulated,and the activities of LDH and MPO and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in supernatant were increased in group S+LPS/ATP (P＜0.05).Compared with group T,the expression of TIPE2 was significantly down-regulated,the expression of caspase-11,NLRP3 and caspase-1 was up-regulated,and the activities of LDH and MPO and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in supernatant were increased in group T+LPS/ATP (P＜0.05).Compared with group S+LPS/ATP,the expression of TIPE2 was significantly down-regulated,the expression of caspase-11,NLRP3 and caspase-1 was up-regulated,and and the activities of LDH and MPO and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in supernatant were increased in group T+LPS/ATP (P＜0.05).Conclusion TIPE2 inhibits pyroptosis in macrophages through down-regulating the expression of caspase-11 in mice.
