Objective To observe effects of the antisense genes of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4 ) and myeloid differentiation protein-2 (MD2) on the activation of NF-κΒ in alveolar typeⅡepithelial cells (ATⅡcells) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Cultured ATⅡcells were randomized to normal cells (control) group
LPS group
LPS+empty vector group
LPS+TLR4 antisense gene group
LPS+MD2 antisense gene group
LPS+TLR4-MD2 antisense gene group. The expressions of TLR4 and MD2 mRNA and protein in ATⅡcells were detected by Northern blotting and Western blotting respectively. The activity of NF-κΒ in ATⅡcells was measured with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations in the supernatant of cultured ATⅡcells were tested with ELISA. Results Compared with control groups
the expressions of TLR4 and MD2 mRNA and protein
the NF-κΒ activity
the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were increased remarkably in LPS group and LPS+empty vector group (P0.01). After stimulating with the antisense genes
the expressions of TLR4 and MD2 mRNA and protein
the NF-κΒ activity
the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased remarkably than in LPS and LPS+empty vector group (P0.01). Conclusion The antisense gene of TLR4 and MD2 can inhibit activation of ATⅡ cells induced by LPS.
