Objective To observe the expression of FcRIIa and FcRIIb on the surface of several immune cells.Methods The expression of FcRIIa and FcRIIb on the surface of several immune cells were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot before and after IVIG incubation. The difference of Fc?RIIb expression on U937 and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) after IVIG induction. was also analyze by FACS.Results Under normal conditions Fc?RIIa was mainly detected in macrophages/monocytes and B lymphocyte cells, while Fc?RIIb could not be detected. After IVIG administration, the expression of FcRIIb on the surface of U937 cells was quickly up-regulated (RT-PCR). FACS analysis revealed that the Fc?RIIb expression on U937 and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) after IVIG induction was also increased. Conclusion The effect of immunoregulation of IVIG was partly achieved by up-regulation of the expression of FcRIIb on the surface of some immune cells.

[摘 要] 目的:分析干扰素基因刺激因子(STING)在肺腺癌中的表达及其与肺腺癌患者临床特征间的关系,探讨STING与内质网应激的相关性及其在调控肺腺癌进展中的作用机制。方法:利用TIMER数据库分析STING基因在泛癌水平的表达情况,利用UALCAN和HPA数据库分析STING在肺腺癌组织中的表达及其与肺腺癌患者临床特征间的关系,利用Kaplan-Meier生存函数分析STING表达与肺腺癌患者OS率间的关系。利用LinkedOmics数据库对肺腺癌表达谱数据进行STING基因共表达分析,对STING相关差异表达基因(DEG)进行GO功能与KEGG通路富集分析,通过GSEA筛选STING调控肺腺癌的潜在通路。使用STING激动剂diABZI及内质网应激抑制剂TUDCA对肺腺癌A549与H460细胞进行处理,通过qPCR、WB法检测STING及内质网应激相关分子的表达,通过CCK-8法检测细胞增殖活力。结果:肺腺癌组织和细胞中STING的表达水平均显著低于正常肺组织(均P<0.01),STING高表达肺腺癌患者5年OS率显著高于低表达患者(P<0.01),STING的表达与肺腺癌患者的年龄、性别等临床特征密切相关(均P<0.01)。STING高表达在肺腺癌外源性抗原处理及提呈等通路上存在富集(均P<0.01)。使用STING激动剂可显著诱导肺腺癌细胞发生内质网应激(P<0.05),STING诱导活化后肺腺癌细胞增殖活力显著下降(均P<0.01),内质网应激抑制剂能部分恢复STING活化诱导后下降的细胞活力(P<0.05)。结论:STING基因在肺腺癌中低表达,其表达下调与肺腺癌患者预后不良相关,其机制可能是STING通过诱导内质网应激而抑制肺腺癌细胞活力。
