摘要
目的:探讨Krüppel样因子2(KLF2)对氧化型低密度脂蛋白(oxidized low density lipo-protein, ox-LDL)诱导人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)微小RNA 146a(microRNA-146a, miR-146a)及细胞因子单核细胞趋化蛋白(MCP-1)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6)表达的影响。方法构建 KLF2过表达腺病毒载体( rAAV-KLF2)及KLF2-siRNA,分别转染HUVECs及ox-LDL诱导的HUVECs。于0 h、3 h、6 h、12 h、24 h、48 h收集HUVECs,采用实时荧光定量PCR,检测HUVECs miR-146a的表达;设计合成锁核酸(the locked nucleic acid,LNA))修饰的anti-miR-146a的反义核苷酸(LNA-anti-miR-146a)转染HUVECs。收集各组细胞上清,采用双抗体夹心ABC-ELISA方法检测MCP-1及IL-6的表达。结果KLF2明显抑制静息及ox-LDL诱导的HUVECs miR-146a的表达,并显著减少ox-LDL诱导HUVECs MCP-1、IL-6的表达,且具有时间依赖性;miR-146 a 沉默可削弱ox-LDL诱导的内皮细胞炎症反应,而且部分逆转了KLF2对内皮细胞炎症反应的抑制作用。结论 KLF2通过下调miR-146 a的表达抑制ox-LDL活化的HUVECs MCP-1、IL-6的分泌。
Objective To investigate the effects of Kr üppel-like factor 2 ( KLF2 ) on oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induced expression of microRNA-146a (miR-146a) and proinflammatory cyto-kines (MCP-1 and IL-6) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).Methods Human umbili-cal vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured and then stimulated with 50μg/ml ox-LDL for 24 hours. HUVECs were infected with adenovirus vectors over-expressing human KLF2 at an appropriate multiplicity of infection.KLF2-siRNA duplexes were transfected into HUVECs to silence the gene expression .HUVECs were collected at time points of 0 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after infection.Real-time quantitative-PCR was performed to measure the expression of miR-146a at mRNA level.Silenced endogenous miR-146a using LNA-anti-miR-146 a was transfected into HUVECs with lipofectamine 2000 .The levels of MCP-1 and IL-6 in supernatants were detected by ELISA .Results KLF2 remarkably inhibited the expression of miR-146 a in unstimulated and ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs in a time-dependent manner .The ox-LDL induced ex-pression of miR-146a, MCP-1 and IL-6 in HUVECs were significantly decreased by KLF2.Silenced expres-sion of miR-146a downr-egulated the ox -LDL induced expression of MCP-1 and IL-6 in HUVECs.Moreover, silenced miR-146 a could partly reverse the inhibitory effects of KLF 2 on ox-LDL induced expression of MCP-1 and IL-6 in HUVECs.Conclusion KLF2 inhibited ox-LDL induced expression of MCP-1 and IL-6 in HUVECs partly through down-regulating the expression of miR-146a.
