Abstract:
Objective:To screen the time points of high survival rate and efferocytosis dysfunction of rat alveolar macrophages stimulated by cigarette smoke extract (CSE), establish an in vitro model of alveolar macrophage efferocytosis function, and study chronic respiratory diseases with chronic inflammatory reaction as the main pathological changes. Methods:① Time point screening experiment: rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383 cells) were cultured in vitro, and the cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group (100 μL complete medium) and 5% CSE group (90 μL complete medium + 10 μL 100% CSE). Alma blue method was used to detect the effect of 5% CSE on the activity of NR8383 cells at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. ② Apoptosis induction experiment: rat type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells (RLE-6TN cells) were cultured in vitro as phagocytic target cells of NR8383 cells, and the cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group and 10, 30 and 60 minutes groups after ultraviolet exposure (apoptosis was induced by 30 000 μJ/cm 2 ultraviolet irradiation for 15 minutes). Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of RLE-6TN cells cultured for 10, 30 and 60 minutes after ultraviolet exposure. ③ Cell efferocytosis experiment: NR8383 cells in logarithmic phase were divided into blank control group and 5% CSE group. Two hours before NR8383 cells were stimulated by CSE for 6, 12 and 24 hours, RLE-6TN cells were exposed to ultraviolet to induce apoptosis, and the RLE-6TN cell suspension was added to NR8383 cells (the ratio of RLE-6TN cells to NR8383 cells was 5∶1). Flow cytometry was used to detect the efferocytosis rate of NR8383 cells to RLE-6TN cells at different time points treated with 5% CSE. Results:① Compared with the blank control group, the activity of NR8383 cells significantly decreased after treatment with 5% CSE for 48 hours [cell reduction rate: (68.5±4.1)% vs. (73.6±2.3)%, P < 0.05]. However, there were no significant differences when the activities of NR8383 cells treated with 5% CSE for 6, 12 and 24 hours were compared with the blank control group, so these three time points were selected for the subsequent establishment of alveolar macrophage cell efferocytosis dysfunction in vitro model experiment. ② Compared with the blank control group, the apoptosis rate of RLE-6TN cells significantly increased at 10, 30 and 60 minutes after ultraviolet exposure [(66.87±8.63)%, (85.51±2.39)%, (96.13±2.74)% vs. (9.13±3.17)%, all P < 0.01] in a time-dependent manner. Considering that it taked about 50 minutes for RLE-6TN cells to be labeled with PKH26 membrane labeling probe, 10 minutes after ultraviolet exposure was selected to label RLE-6TN cells. ③ Compared with the blank control group, the efferocytosis function of NR8383 cells was significantly decreased after treatment with 5% CSE for 12 hours [cell efferocytosis rate: (33.64±1.30)% vs. (44.02±2.71)%, P < 0.01], but there was no significant effect on the efferocytosis function of NR8383 cells at 6 hours and 24 hours. Conclusions:CSE can induce alveolar macrophage cell efferocytosis dysfunction. Based on the test results of the effect of 5% CSE on NR8383 cell activity and cell efferocytosis function, 12 hours with high survival rate and weak efferocytosis effect of NR8383 cells can be selected as the in vitro model condition of alveolar macrophage cell efferocytosis dysfunction.
