Role of silence information regulator 1 in regulation of lipopolysaccharide-induced secretion of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-a in activated BV-2 cells

Abstract

Objective To observe the effect oflipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the cell form of BV-2 cells and the expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) so as to detect the role of silence information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in regulation of LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokines production in activated BV-2 cells.Methods BV-2 cells were divided into control group (normal culture medium) and treatment groups; BV-2 cells in the treatment groups were subdivided into LPS treatment groups,Resveratrol+LPS treatment groups and Sirtinol+LPS treatment groups (cultured with different concentrations of LPS,SIRT1 activator Resveratrol or SIRT1 inhibitor Sirtinol,respectively).MTT assay was employed to identify the cell survival after the inducement.Based on the above MTT results,the cells were then grouped into the control group,LPS treatment group,Resveratrol+LPS treatment group and Sirtinol+LPS treatment group having suitable concentrations of LPS,Resveratrol and Sirtinol; then,the levels of IL-6 and TNF-a were measured with enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) at 12 and 24 h after the inducement; and the expression of SIRT1 at 24 hafter the inducement was detected by Western blotting.Results As compared with those in the control group,the BV-2 cells in the LPS treatment group had increased cell number,hypertrophic cell body,and shorten cell processes.The cell survival rate increased with increased concentrations of LPS.As compared with those in the control group,the levels of IL-6 and TNF-a in LPS treatment group increased and level of SIRT 1 decreased with significant differences (P＜0.05).Significantly increased levels of IL-6and TNF-a and obviously decreased expression of SIRT1 in the Resveratrol+LPS treatment group were noted as compared with those in the LPS treatment group (P＜0.05); conversely,significantly decreased levels of IL-6 and TNF-a and obviously increased expression of SIRT1 in the Sirtinol+LPS treatment group were noted as compared with those in the LPS treatment group (P＜0.05).Conclusion LPS can change the morphology of BV-2 cells,and induce the levels ofproinflammatory cytokines; impairment of SIRT1 may contribute to such progress obviously.
