PG - 150-155 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.issn.2095-4352.2017.02.011 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation protein-2 (MD2), and stromal interaction molecular 1 (STIM1) for regulating human vascular endothelial calcium overload injury and inflammatory reaction induced by bacterial endotoxin (LPS). METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in Dulbecco's modification of Eagle's medium (DMEM). (1) The levels of TLR4, MD2 and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) were detected by reverse transcriotion-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) before and 0.5, 1, 6, 12, 24 hours after LPS stimulation. (2) Intracellular calcium peak level was detected by confocal following probe fluo-3 AM loading in HUVEC cells induced with LPS and transfected by psiSTIM or psiTLR. (3) MD2, STIM1 or NF-kappaB protein level was detected by immunoprecipitation (IP) and immuno-blotting in HUVEC cells which were transfected by TLR4 inhibited expression (psiTLR) for 12 hours and followed by LPS stimulation for 6 hours. (4) HUVEC cells were randomly divided into 6 groups: control group, LPS group, PDTC 0.1 mg/L group, PDTC 1 mg/L group, psiTLR 1 h group and psiTLR 12 h group. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in supernatant. The mRNA levels of STIM1 and NF-kappaB were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: (1) The mRNA levels of TLR4, MD2, and NF-kappaB gradually increased after LPS induction and peaked at 6 hours (2(-DeltaDeltaCt): 23.52+/-2.88, 17.43+/-3.43, 18.13+/-2.99, respectively), which were statistically significant before the stimulation with LPS (2(-DeltaDeltaCt): 7.02+/-2.81, 5.19+/-3.22, 8.11+/-1.42, all P < 0.05). (2) Extracellular calcium influx in LPS group was increased significantly higher than control group (nmol/L: 108.13+/-22.33 vs. 41.57+/-13.19, P < 0.01). Extracellular calcium influx in psiSTIM+LPS group (nmol/L: 62.61+/-14.12 vs. 108.13+/-22.33, P < 0.05) and psiTLR+LPS group (nmol/L: 50.78+/-8.05 vs. 109.43+/-20.21, P < 0.01) were both suppressed as compared with LPS group. While extracellular calcium peak level in psiTLR+psiSTIM+LPS group further decreased (nmol/L: 39.31+/-6.42 vs. 109.43+/-20.21, P < 0.01). (3) MD2 protein but not STIM1 or NF-kappaB can be detected in anti-TLR4 precipitates in control (ctrl-) by immunoprecipitation. MD2 protein level increased in anti-TLR4 precipitates in LPS group (ctrl+) and was suppressed in TLR4 inhibiting group (psiTLR). (4) The levels of TNF-alpha in PDTC 1 mg/L group were significantly lower than those of LPS group (ng/L: 0.60+/-0.24 vs. 1.77+/-0.66, P < 0.01). The levels of IL-6 in PDTC 0.1 mg/L, 1 mg/L group and psiTLR 12 h group decreased significantly lower than that of LPS group (ng/L: 232.10+/-63.54, 134.32+/-37.23, 284.23+/-56.14 vs. 510.22+/-89.23, all P < 0.05). Compared to LPS group, the mRNA levels of NF-kappaB and STIM1 were obviously inhibited in PDTC 1 mg/L group and psiTLR 12 h group [NF-kappaB mRNA (2(-DeltaDeltaCt)): 17.22+/-2.35, 13.24+/-3.54 vs. 30.16+/-2.06; STIM1 mRNA (2(-DeltaDeltaCt)): 12.57+/-2.43, 12.21+/-2.46 vs. 25.12+/-2.02, all P < 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS: TLR4, MD2, NF-kappaB signal and SOC calcium channel STIM1 mediate LPS induced-calcium influx and inflammatory mediators level in HUVEC cells. Extracellular calcium overload and inflammatory response by endotoxin induction can be effectively inhibited by down-regulation of TLR4, NF-kappaB and/or STIM1.
