Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Titanium ions have been proved to stimulate the secretion of bone remodeling-related factors from T lymphocytes;however, the effects of titanium ions on the early activation, intermediate activation, and cel cycle of T lymphocytes remain unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of titanium ions on the proliferation and activation of T lymphocytes in vitro. METHODS:Cel proliferation and cycle test:Jurkat E6-1 T lymphocytes in logarithmic phase were col ected and cultured in the medium containing 0 (control), 25 (low concentration), 50 (middle concentration), and 100μmol/L (high concentration) titanium ions for 24 hours to detect the cel relative proliferation rate and cel cycle. Cel activation trial:Jurkat E6-1 T lymphocytes were divided into two groups that were subdivided into four groups containing 0, 25, 50, and 100μmol/L titanium ions, respectively with or without phytohemagglutinin (PHA) pre-stimulation. The expressions of CD69 and CD25 were measured after cultured for 24 hours. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Titanium ions enhanced T lymphocytes proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the percentages of G0/G1 phase decreased and the proportions of cel s in S and G2/M phase increased significantly in the low, middle and high concentration groups (P<0.05). The proportion of G0/G1-phase cel s in the high concentration group was less and the proportion of G2/M phase cel s was higher than those in the middle and low concentration groups (P<0.05). With PHA pre-stimulation, the expression of CD69 in the high concentration group was higher than that in the middle and low concentration groups (P<0.05);whereas the difference of CD25 expression was not significant among four subgroups. Titanium ions promoted the expression of CD69 in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05), but there was no CD25 expression in each subgroup without PHA pre-stimulation. To conclude, titanium ions can significantly promote T lymphocyte proliferation and early activation in vitro, and moreover, induce S and G2/M phase arrest in T lymphocytes.
