Role of liver X receptor in expression of B lymphocyte stimulator in Raji cells
Objective To determine the effect of liver X receptor (LXR) specific agonist
GW3965 on the expression of B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) in human B-cell lymphoma Raji cells. Methods Cell viability of Raji cells exposure to GW3965 at concentrations of 0.5
5 and 10 μmol/L for 24 h was detected by MTT assay. Then the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABCA1
the specific target gene of LXR) mRNA and LXR mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and the expression of BLyS at mRNA and protein levels were measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results The level of 1‰ DMSO OD(492 nm) was(0.632±0.055)
and 0.5
5 and 10 μmol/L GW3965 resulted in the levels of OD(492nm) were (0.609±0.073)
(0.612±0.052) and(0.628±0.055) respectively
indicating that GW3965 had no effect on the viability of Raji cells (P0.05). Exposure to 0.5 and 5 μmol/L GW3965 results in an increase in the level of ABCA1 mRNA in a dose-dependent manner
suggesting LXR was functional in Raji cells. The expression of BLyS were down-regulated in both mRNA and protein levels after LXR activation. Conclusion LXR decreases the expression of BLyS in Raji cells.
