Classically activated macrophage inhibits rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synovial proliferation / 中华风湿病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of classically activated macrophage (M1) on the proliferation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synovial (FLS) and osteoarthritis (OA) FLS proliferation.Methods Human monocytes leukemia cells (THP)-1 were induced into M1 by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ),M1 specific surface molecular markers human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR and CD197 were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).RA-FLS and OA-FLS were co-cultured with M1 by transwell chambers,the proliferation of RA-FLS and OA-FLS were observed by crystal violet staining assay.MTS was used to detect cytokines secreted from M1 on the multiplication of RA-FLS and OA-FLS.TNF-α and IL-12 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Paried student t test was used for statistical analysis.Results THP-1 were induced into M1 by LPS and IFN-γ,the expression rates of M1 surface specific molecular markers HLA-DR and CD197 were 78.25％ and 87.96％.Crystal violet staining showed that RA-FLS and OA-FLS proliferation were significantly inhibited after co-cultured with M1 48 h,RA-FLS and OA-FLS of each vision under microscope in co-culture groups were (64 ±30) and (85 ±23) respectively,while the RA-FLS and OA-FLS in separate culture groups were (467±87) and (263±78) respectively,the difference was statistically significant (t=7.459,3.791;P＜0.05).MTS assay indirectly reflected that the cytokines from M1 suppressed RA-FLS and OA-FLS proliferation (t=-7.155,-8.111;P＜0.05).The concentration of TNF-α in cell culture supernatants secreted from RA-FLS group and RA-FLS/M1 co-culture group respectively were (0.024±0.01 1) ng/ml and (0.832±0.241) ng/ml respectively,the concentration of IL-12 from the two groups were (0.033±0.015) ng/ml and (0.372±0.122) ng/ml respectively.TNF-α from OA-FLS and OA-FLS/M1 co-culture group respectively were (0.031±0.017) ng/ml and (0.852±0.323) ng/ml,IL-12 were (0.012±0.009) ng/ml,(0.373±0.144) ng/ml.Compared with FLS separate culture group,the concentration of TNF-α and IL-12 were obviously elevated (t=-4.997,-4.777,-4.407,-4.334;P were all ＜0.05).Conclusion M1 can significantly inhibite RA-FLS and OA-FLS proliferation,this may be related to the increased concentration of TNF-α and IL-1 β in from cell culture supernatant.
