摘要:

文题释义:
脂多糖:是革兰阴性细菌内毒素的主要活性成分,在炎症性骨吸收中发挥着重要作用,可诱导多种炎性细胞因子,如白细胞介素1/6、前列腺素等。脂多糖由类脂A、核心多糖、O-抗原组成,主要与存在于宿主细胞细胞膜表面的Toll样受体相结合,而Toll家族与炎性细胞因子表达有关,在炎症免疫中起着重要作用。
PI3K/AKT信号通路:在调控各种不同细胞功能(包括代谢、生长、增殖、存活、转录及蛋白质合成)方面发挥重要作用。PI3K是由调节亚基p85和催化亚基p110构成的二聚体,当它与细胞因子受体结合后可改变AKT的蛋白结构并使其活化,并以磷酸化作用激活或抑制下游一系列底物及其他信号转导途径。在脂多糖的刺激下,PI3K/AKT信号通路可以介导多种炎性细胞因子的产生。

背景:前期研究证实,脂多糖刺激小鼠MLO-Y4骨细胞上调炎症相关细胞因子白细胞介素6的表达,白细胞介素6上调破骨细胞生成相关因子核因子κB受体活化因子配体(receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand,RANKL)的表达,而PI3K/AKT信号通路是骨代谢中的重要调节通路,验证其是否参与脂多糖诱导骨细胞炎症因子的产生,对研究细菌炎症性骨吸收的机制具有重要意义。
目的:验证PI3K/AKT信号通路是否参与脂多糖刺激下小鼠MLO-Y4 骨细胞白细胞介素6及RANKL的表达。 
方法:①分别以0,100 µg/L的脂多糖刺激MLO-Y4骨细胞,1,2,4,6,8 h后,采用RT-qPCR检测白细胞介素6和RANKL的mRNA表达,Western blot法检测RANKL和p-AKT蛋白表达;②取对数生长期的MLO-Y4骨细胞,分7组处理:不做任何处理(对照组)、100 µg/L脂多糖、   1 µmol/L PI3K抑制剂+100 µg/L脂多糖、2.5 µmol/L PI3K抑制剂+100 µg/L脂多糖、5 µmol/L PI3K抑制剂+100 µg/L脂多糖、10 µmol/L PI3K抑制剂+100 µg/L脂多糖、20 µmol/L PI3K抑制剂+100 µg/L脂多糖,采用RT-qPCR检测白细胞介素6和RANKL的mRNA表达;③将MLO-Y4骨细胞分4组处理:不做任何处理(对照组)、100 µg/L脂多糖、二甲基亚砜+100 µg/L脂多糖、10 µmol/L PI3K抑制剂+100 µg/L脂多糖,采用RT-qPCR检测RANKL的mRNA表达,Western blot法检测RANKL与p-AKT蛋白表达。
结果与结论:①脂多糖刺激后,骨细胞内白细胞介素6与RANKL的mRNA表达呈先升高后降低的趋势,各时间点的两基因表达量均高于无脂多糖刺激组(P < 0.05);骨细胞内RANKL和p-AKT蛋白表达呈先升高后降低的趋势,各时间点的两蛋白表达量均高于无脂多糖刺激组(P < 0.05);②1-10 µmol/L的PI3K抑制剂呈浓度依赖性降低脂多糖诱导的骨细胞白细胞介素6和RANKL的 mRNA表达量升高,浓度越高降低效果越明显,当浓度达到20 µmol/L时降低效果与10 µmol/L无明显差异;③二甲基亚砜与PI3K抑制剂均可降低脂多糖刺激诱导的骨细胞RANKL蛋白与mRNA表达量的升高,降低脂多糖刺激诱导的骨细胞p-AKT蛋白表达,其中以PI3K抑制剂的降低效果更明显;④结果表明,PI3K/AKT信号通路参与了脂多糖刺激小鼠MLO-Y4骨细胞白细胞介素6和RANKL的表达。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Previous studies have confirmed that lipopolysaccharide could up-regulated the expression of interleukin-6, an inflammation-related cytokine, in mouse MLO-Y4 osteocytes, and interleukin-6 could further up-regulate the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL), a factor related to osteoclastogenesis, in osteoblasts. PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is an important regulatory pathway in bone metabolism. Verifying whether this signaling pathway is involved in the production of inflammatory factors induced by lipopolysaccharides is greatly beneficial to studying the mechanism of bone resorption that is caused by bacterial inflammation.
OBJECTIVE: To verify whether PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is involved in the expression of interleukin-6 and RANKL in mouse MLO-Y4 osteocytes stimulated by lipopolysaccharides.
METHODS: MLO-Y4 osteoblasts were stimulated with 0 or 100 µg/L lipopolysaccharides for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours. Then the mRNA expressions of interleukin-6 and RANKL were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and the protein expression of RANKL and p-AKT were detected by western blot. MLO-Y4 osteocytes in logarithmic growth was divided into seven groups: no treatment group (control group), 100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group, 1 µmol/L PI3K inhibitor+100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group, 2.5 µmol/L PI3K inhibitor+100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group, 5 µmol/L PI3K inhibitor+100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group, 10 µmol/L PI3K inhibitor+100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group, 20 µmol/L PI3K inhibitor+100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of interleukin 6 and RANKL. MLO-Y4 osteocytes were divided into four groups: no treatment group (control group), 100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group, dimethyl sulfoxide+100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group, and 10 µmol/L PI3K inhibitor+100 µg/L lipopolysaccharide group. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of RANKL, and western blot was used to detect the protein expression of RANKL and p-AKT.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After lipopolysaccharide stimulation, the mRNA expression of interleukin-6 and RANKL in osteocytes was increased first and then decreased; however, the mRNA expression levels were higher than those in the control group at each time point (P < 0.05). After lipopolysaccharide stimulation, the protein expression of RANKL and p-AKT in osteocytes was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05) at each time point, although the protein expression in lipopolysaccharide groups was increased first and then decreased. PI3K inhibitor of 1-10 µmol/L could decrease the mRNA expression of interleukin 6 and RANKL in lipopolysaccharide-induced osteocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, while 20 and 10 µmol/L PI3K inhibitor showed similar effects. Both dimethyl sulfoxide and PI3K inhibitors could inhibit the increase in the protein and mRNA expression of RANKL and the protein expression of p-AKT in osteocytes induced by lipopolysaccharide. Furthermore, PI3K inhibitor showed the better inhibitory effect. These results indicate that lipopolysaccharide stimulates the expression of interleukin-6 and RANKL in mouse MLO-Y4 osteocytes through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
