High pressure increases the express of TNF-α and IL-1β in BV2 microglia / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#This study aimed to explore whether high pressure would increase expression of TNF-a and IL-1β.@*Methods@#BV2 microglia cells were treated with a self-made device. BV2 microglia cells were randomly divided into five groups according to different pressures control group, 20 mmHg group, 25 mmHg group, 30 mmHg group, and 35 mmHg group. BV2 microglia cells were randomly divided into five groups according to different intervention time control group, 6 h group, 12 h group, 24 h group. TNF-α and IL-1β expression were assessed by Western Blotting or double immunofluorescence.@*Results@#The 30 mmHg group had the highest expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β as compared with control group (both P<0.01), 6 h group (both P<0.01)、12 h group (TNF-α P<0.05; IL-1β P< 0.01).30 mmHg group had the highest expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β as compared with control group (bothP<0.01), 20 mmHg group (both P<0.01), and 25 mmHg group (TNF-α P<0.05; IL-1β P<0.01). The expression levels of TNF-α and L-1β were not different between 30 mmHg group and 35 mmHg group (both P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#High pressure may increase the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β of microglia.
