EFFECTS OF LPS AND NNK ON PROLIFERATION OF BONE MARROW MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS AND THE EXPRESSION LEVELS OF NF-κB, P-P38, AND CUGBPI IN RATS
Objective To observe the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS),4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1 butanone (NNK),and a combination of LPS and NNK on the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and expression levels of NF-κB,P-P38 and CUGBP1 in rats.Methods Whole bone marrow adherent culture was used to culture and purify BMSCs.The effect of different concentrations of inflammatory factors on the proliferation of BMSCs was evaluated by MTT assay,based on which the stimulating concentration was optimized.The expression levels of NF κB,P-P38,and CUGBP1 in BMSCs were measured by immunocytochemistry and Western blot.Results Different concentrations of inflammatory factors could all promote the proliferation of rat BMSCs,and 12.5 mg/L LPS,10 mg/L NNK,and 12.5 mg/L PLS in combination with 10 mg/L NNK had the most significant promotional effects on the proliferation of rat BMSCs.Immunocytochemistry revealed that after inflammatory stimulation,NF-κB and CUGBP1 protein levels in BMSCs were significantly increased (F =165.1-481.8,P<0.01).Western blot showed that the expression levels of NF-κB,P P38,and CUGBP1 in BMSCs were increased after inflammatory stimulation (F=38.1-1 531.0,P<0.01).Conclusion LPS,NNK,and LPS in combination with NNK may promote the proliferation of BMSCs by activating NF-κB and P38MAPK pathways.Long-term inflammatory factor stimulation promotes the expression of NF-κB,P-P38,and CUGBP1 in cell nucleus.
