Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on P2X7 receptor activition and IL-1β production induced by endotoxin in murine RAW264.7 macrophages. Methods RAW264.7 macruphages were treated with LPS (1 μg/ml) for 4 h to induce the production and release of IL-1β, and pretreated with BBG (specific P2X7 receptor antagonist) 1 μmol/L or propofol 1-100 μmol/L for 20 min before LPS stimulation, and IL-1β release was measured using ELISA kit. Whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the P2X7-gated currents induced by 1 mmol/L ATP, the cells were exposed to propofol with 1-1 000 -μmol/L for 4 min, and the IC_(50) level of propofol was achieved. Western blot technique was used to measure the production of pro-lL-1β protein and IL-1β protein intracellularly after LPS treatment for 4 h under different concentrations of propofol. Results IL-1β was released from RAW264.7 macrophages after LPS stimulation, which was decreased by propofol, and the IC_(50) level of propefol was (24±3) μmol/L. P2XT-gated currents were inhibited by propofol, and the IC_(50) level was (33±5) μmol/L. Pro-IL-1β protein intracellularly was up-regulated after LPS stimulation, and propofol with 3-100 μmol/L decreased the up-regulation of pro-IL-1β intracellularly induced by LPS. Conclusion Propefol could inhibit IL-1β release from RAW264.7 macrophages treated by LPS, which is mediated by inhibiting P2X7 receptor activition and decreasing the production of pro-IL-1β intracellularly.
