Abstract:

In order to investigate the relationship between apoptosis and transcription and expression of several major cytokines during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)infection,THP-1 derived macrophage was selected to establish in vitro model.Infected cells with different virulence MTB (H37Rv,BCG),flow cytometry was used to detect macrophage apoptosis at six time points,quantitative PCR was used to detect transcription level of cytokines TNF-α,IL-10,IL-6,ELISA was used to detect the secretion of cell supernatants of three cytokines.The results showed:the early apoptotic rate of BCG and H37Rv group were both higher than control group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Transcription levels of cytokines,TNF-α,IL-6 were consistent with the level of secretion.There was an increase with time on apoptosis of low virulent strain,and there is a same trend on secretion of TNF-α,an opposite tendency on secretion of IL-6.Apoptosis of virulent strains was less than attenuated vaccine strain.Secretion of virulent strains was complex,like increase first and then suppression.The relationship between cytokines and apoptosis of cells at different time points may provide new ideas for study of macrophage apoptosis mechanisms.
