Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the mechanisms of IL-1β promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. Methods: The“Transwell? Inserts” system was used to coculture lung cancer cells A549,NCI-H520 with macrophages. BrdU ELISA used to measure the effect of macrophages promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. Expression of mRNA of IL-1β in A549 and NCI-H520 cells were analysed by Real-time PCR analysis. IL-1β was responsible for macrophage-promoted lung cancer cells growth, IL-1β neutralizing antibody was added. The autophagy marker Beclin1 protein was detected by Western blot. Results:The BrdU ELISA assay showed that after coincubation with macrophages in the proportion of 1:0. 5,the OD value of A549 increased from(0. 41±0. 06)to(1. 13±0. 10). There was statistical significance(P<0. 05). It also showed that the growth of the A549 cell was dependent on the macrophage number (P<0. 05). The OD value variability of NCI-H520 cells was as same as A549 cell upon cocultured with macrophages. Real-time PCR results showed that the expression of IL-1β mRNA in macrophages was remarkably enhanced in a time dependent manner upon coincubated with lung cancer cell,and the expression level was higher than lung cancer cells. Addition of IL-1β neutralizing antibody markedly inhibited macrophage-promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. The OD value of these two cells were decreased from ( 3. 63 ± 0. 33) to (1. 46±0. 18),from (2. 94±0. 38) to (1. 53±0. 20),respectively (P<0. 05). After treatment with IL-1β,the expression of Beclin1 was significantly inhibited in tumor cells. Conclusion:Over-expression of IL-1βfrom macrophages and lung cancer cells is re-sponsible for proliferation of tumor cells in coculture condition. Inhibition of autophagy in tumor cells may be the important mechanisms of IL-1β promotes lung cancer cells proliferation.
