Effects of lactoferrin on the expression of TLR4 signaling pathway-associated membrane molecule in LPS-activated U937 macrophages
Objective:To investigate the effects of recombinant human lactoferrin(rhLF) on the expression of toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway-associated membrane molecule(TLR4,CD14 and MD2) in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-activated U937 macrophages. Methods:U937 was induced to maturation by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA) and then divided into six groups:control group,LPS group(100 ng/ml LPS),LPS+50 μg/ml rhLF group,LPS+100 μg/ml rhLFgroup,LPS+200 μg/ml rhLF group and LPS+500 μg/ml rhLF group. The mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4,CD14 and MD2 were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot. The concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) was detected by ELISA. Results:The mRNA and protein expres-sion of TLR4,CD14 and MD2 increased significantly in LPS group than in control group(P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of TLR4,CD14 and MD2 had no significant change in LPS+50 μg/ml rhLF group(P >0.05),but reduced significantly in LPS+100 μg/ml rhLF group,LPS+200 μg/ml rhLF group and LPS+500 μg/ml rhLF group than in LPS group(P<0.05). The concentration of TNF-α increased significantly in the LPS group than in the control group(P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α reduced significantly in LPS+50 μg/ml rhLF group,LPS+100 μg/ml rhLF group,LPS+200 μg/ml rhLF group and LPS+500 μg/ml rhLF group than in LPS group(P<0.05). Conclusion:rhLF might have a potential protective effect on LPS induced sepsis through suppressing TLR4 transmembrane signal transduction pathway and reducing the secretion of TNF-α.
