简介:目的:观察从桂枝汤中分离出的单体桂皮醛对白细胞介素1(IL-1)刺激大鼠脑微血管内皮细胞(rCMECs)与发热有关的信号转导通路上关键信号元件环氧酶(COX)和前列腺素E2(PGE2)的影响.方法:建立rCMECs培养,进行Ⅷ因子相关抗原鉴定.待细胞生长至融合状态后加入不同浓度的桂皮醛(12.5、25、50、100及200mg/L)孵育3h,随后以30ng/ml的IL-1刺激12h.ELISA方法检测细胞培养液中PGE2的含量及细胞内COX-1、COX-2的活性.结果:Ⅷ因子抗体免疫组化染色可见95%以上为阳性细胞,证实为rCMECs.暴露于浓度为30ng/mlIL-1后,rCMECs内COX-2活性及释放的PGE2量显著增加(P<0.01),COX-1活性无明显变化(P>0.05).加入不同浓度的桂皮醛后,随浓度增加而下调IL-1升高的COX-1、COX-2活性及PGE2量,且呈一定的浓度依赖关系;至浓度为100mg/L时,COX-2活性及释放的PGE2与IL-1单独作用组比较差异均有显著性差异(P<0.05),COX-1活性无明显变化(P>0.05).结论:桂皮醛能下调IL-1刺激下rCMECs释放的PGE2,作用机制可能与抑制COX-2活性有关.
