Adra1a regulates LPS-induced inflammation in primary hepatocytes of Lbp-/-mice
Objective To explore the role of Adra1a in regulating the LPS-induced inflammation response in primary hepatocytes of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein knockout(Lbp-/-)mice.Methods Primary hepatocytes were extracted from WT and Lbp-/-mice using a two-step perfusion method,and an inflammation model was established using LPS induction.Expression of Adra1a in primary hepatocytes of Lbp-/-mice was suppressed by administering the inhibitor prazosin and transfection with si-Adra1a.The cells were divided into three groups under inhibitor conditions:control group A,LPS group A,and prazosin group.For siRNA transfection,cells were also divided into groups:control group B,LPS group B,si-NC group,and si-Adra1a group.WT primary hepatocytes were divided into two groups:control group(blank)and LPS group(12 h stimulation).Changes in the Adra1a response to LPS stimulation were verified by Western blot.Other method ologies,such as CCK-8,qRT-PCR,and Western blot assays,were used to confirm improvements in cell inflammation and the survival rate by prazosin and si-Adra1a.Results Significant elevation in Adra1a protein expression in Lbp-/-primary hepatocytes was observed post-LPS stimulation(P＜0.01),whereas no notable change was found in the wildtype.A remarkable increase in the cell survival rate was noted in prazosin and si-Adra1a groups(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Furthermore,prazosin and si-Adra1a groups exhibited significantly reduced expression of proinflammatory factors TNF-αand IL-1 β(P＜O.01),p-p38,p-ERK,and p-JNK(P＜0.01),which are associated with cell damage and inflammation.Conclusions Following LPS stimulation,upregulation of Adra1a and proinflammatory cytokine expression was observed in Lbp-/-primary hepatocytes.Specific downregulation of Adra1a expression using prazosin and si-Adra1a significantly decreased LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokines in Lbp-/-primary hepatocytes.Adra1a is implicated in the regulation of the LPS-induced inflammation response in primary hepatocytes of Lbp-/-mice.
