摘要:

本文旨在探讨人参皂苷Rg1体外对金葡菌感染肺上皮细胞所致病变的作用及其可能的机制。实验采用体外大鼠原代肺上皮细胞感染模型。RT-PCR和Western blot方法观察肺细胞中integrin β1, NF-κB 和糖皮质激素受体(GR)等相关因子的表达。结果表明人参皂苷Rg1可以明显抑制金葡菌感染后肺上皮细胞整合素integrin β1的表达, 下调炎性因子NF-κB, ICAM-1, TNF-α, IL-2 和 IL-6, 上调GR的表达。人参皂苷Rg1可以明显抑制金葡菌感染肺上皮细胞后的炎性因子, 从而对肺脏起到一定的保护作用。

Abstract:

The invasion of Staphylococcus aureus into respiratory epithelial cells and the followed inflammatory responses cause serious tissue damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) on S. aureus infection in vitro and its action mechanism. An internalization model was constructed to determine the effect of Rg1 on S. aureus invasion. The changes of expression of integrin β1, NF-κB and glucocorticoid receptor were analyzed by Western blot. Expression of pro-inflammatory genes was validated using RT-PCR. The results demonstrated that Rg1 treatment could reduce the invasion of S. aureus into rat pulmonary epithelial cells by down-regulating integrin β1. Its anti-inflammatory action was exerted through reducing NF-κB and expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). The increased expression of glucocorticoid receptor was involved in this regulation. The results suggested that Rg1 could play a positive role in reducing S. aureus infections. Rg1 could be used for the treatment of S. aureus infection, potentially.
