Abstract:
Aim To investigate the effect of resveratrol on the polarization of macrophages and its correlation with mitochondrion. Methods Fifty-five mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum for three weeks were randomly divided into three groups; infection group (A), resveratrol group (B) and praziquantel group (C). Fifteen normal mice were taken as normal control group (D). On 9th week of infection, M1 and M2 were measured by flow cytometry (FCM), the mRNA level of Ml and M2 related cytokines, PGC-la and mtDNA level were detected by RT-PCR, and the ATP production was detected by ATP kit. RAW264. 7 cells were stimulated by PBS and SEA respectively. Resveratrol and praziquantel were added after stimulation. The percents of Ml and M2 were detected by FCM. PGC-1 a and mtDNA level were detected by RT-PCR. The level of Ml and M2 related cytokines were measured by ELISA. ATP was detected by ATP assay kit. Results Compared to group A, the proportion of Ml in group B increased (P < 0. 05), and the proportion of M2 decreased (P <0. 01). The levels of M2 related cytokines, PGC-1 a, mtDNA, ATP, basal OCR (oxygen comsumpition rate) in liver macrophages in group B were lower than those in group A (P < 0. 05). The levels of Ml related cytokines in group B were evidently higher than those in group A (P < 0.05). RAW264.7 cells were polarized into Ml (P < 0. 05), but not M2 (P < 0. 05) under resveratrol treatment. Moreover, RAW264. 7 cells with resveratrol treatment produced less M2 related cytokines (P < 0. 05), mtDNA, PGC-1 a, ATP and basal OCR (P <0. 05), and more related cytokines (P < 0. 05). Conclusion Resveratrol shifts macrophage polarization from M2 towards Ml by inhibiting the synthesis and ATP production of mitochondria.
