目的 通过观察小檗碱对脂多糖诱导的人单核细胞(THP-1)相关炎性反应因子表达的影响,探讨小檗碱的直接抗炎作用.方法 小檗碱毒性作用分析:体外培养THP-1细胞,分为对照组和不同浓度小檗碱组(小檗碱5,10,20,50 μmol/L),分别孵育6h、24h、48 h,收集培养上清,应用乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)微量释放法检测不同浓度小檗碱对THP-1细胞的毒性作用.小檗碱对脂多糖诱导的THP-1细胞炎性因子的影响:分为对照组、脂多糖组(1μg/ml)、不同浓度小檗碱+脂多糖组(小檗碱5、10、20 μmol/L+1μg/ml脂多糖),分别孵育6h、24 h、48 h,收集培养上清,应用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-6、IL-8和肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α的水平.结果 当小檗碱浓度<20 μmol/L时,THP-1细胞经小檗碱干预6h、24 h、48 h之后,细胞存活率在90%以上,与对照组相比差异无统计学意义(P均>0.05).小檗碱呈剂量依赖性的降低脂多糖诱导的THP-1细胞培养上清IL-1β、IL-6、IL-8和TNF-α水平.6h时,20 μmol/L小檗碱+脂多糖组IL-1β、IL-8、TNF-α水平与脂多糖组相比显著下降(P均<0.05);24 h时,20 μmol/L小檗碱+脂多糖组IL-8和TNF-α水平与脂多糖组相比均显著下降(P均<0.05);48 h时,5μmol/L小檗碱+脂多糖组TNF-
Objective To observe the effects of berberine (BBR) on expression of inflammatory cytokines in THP-1 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS),and investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of BBR.Methods For analysing the toxicity of BBR on THP-1 cells,THP-1 cells were divided into control group,and different concentrations of BBR groups (BBR 5,10,20,50 μmol/L).After incubation for 6,24 and 48 hours,lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released from THP-1 cells was used to assay the cytotoxicity of BBR.For analysis of the effects of BBR on inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS in THP-1 cells,THP-1 cells were divided into control group,LPS group (1 μg/mL LPS),and different concentrations of BBR with LPS groups (BBR 5,10 and 20 μmol/L + 1 μg/mL LPS).After 6,24 or 48 hours of incubation,the concentrations of inter4eukin (IL)-1 β,IL-6,IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α in the culture medium were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The survival rates of T
