Abstract:
Objective:To observe autophagy induced by aminophylline in human peripheral blood T lymphocytes.Methods:Peripheral blood T lymphocytes from health adults were separated with Percoll(1.073 g/ml) and harvested by using nylon column.The cultured cells were divided into control group,aminophylline group(10-8～10-3mol/L,or 0.001 8～180 ?g/ml)and dexamethasone(DXM) group,and the rates of autophagy and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:①The purities of T lymphocyte were 81.3%～94.5%。②In control group for 72 h cultivation,the autophagic rate of T lymphocytes was significantly lower than those of 10-5～10-3mol/L aminophylline group(P0.05);In 10-5mol/L aminophylline group,the autophagic rate of different T lymphocyte density after cultivation(0,24,48,72 h) had a tendency of increase along with time lasting and decrease of cell density,but the difference did not show significance.③There was significant statistic difference in incidence rate of apoptotic T lymphocytes between control and DXM group in 72 h cultivation(P=0.000);But there was no significant statistic difference in the rate of autophagic(P=0.481).Conclusion:10-3～10-5mol/L aminophylline can induce autophagy in peripheral blood T lymphocytes,10-3～10-8mol/L aminophylline could induce both autophagy and apoptosis,and there is no significant correlation between autophagy and apoptosis;DXM can induce apoptosis in peripheral blood T lymphocytes,which indicates different programmed cell death of T lymphocytes could be induced by different medicines.
