Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) in the expression of tissue factor(TF) from THP-1 cells induced by β2GPI/anti-β2GPIcomplex.Methods The THP-1 cells were treated with both β2GPI/anti-β2GPI and β2GPI/IgG-APS(β2GPI/IgG from APS patients) complexes.Rapamycin(100 nmol/L),the mTOR inhibitor,was used to exert the intervention experiment.The total RNA and proteins of the THP-1 cells were collected for detection.The mRNA expression level and activity of TF in THP-1 cells were detected by real-time quatitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and TF activity kit respectively.western blotwas used to determine the levels of mTOR and phosphorylated-mTOR(p-mTOR),and p38,p-p38,ERK1/2,p-ERK1/2,JNK,p-JNK,NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 in THP-1 cells were determined simultaneously.Results Both β2GPI/anti-β2GPI and β2GPI/IgG-APS complexes chould significantly upregulate the mRNA expression and activity of TF,and the phosphorylation levels of mTOR in THP-1 cells(P < 0.05).Rapamycin markedly attenuated the mRNA expression and activity of TF and mTOR phosphorylation induced by β2GPI/anti-β2GPI and β2GPI/IgG-APS complexes (P < 0.05),and also inhibited the phosphorylation levels of p38,ERK1/2 and NF-κB p65 in THP-1 cells induced by β2GPI/anti-β2GPI and β2GPI/IgG-APS complexes (P < 0.05),but did not showed effects on the phosphorylation of c-Jun NH2-terminal protein kinase (JNK) (P > 0.05).Conclusion mTOR could be activated by β2GPI/antiβ2GPI complexes in THP-1 cells and play a crucial role for β2GPI/anti-β2GPI-induced TF expression in THP-1 cells.
