Inflammation plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells -1(TREM-1), is confirmed as an important amplifier of the inflammatory response. Our previous studies showed that blocking TREM-1 by the administration of an antagonistic peptide substantially attenuated atherosclerotic lesion formation in experimental New Zealand white rabbits models of atherosclerosis, suggesting that TREM-1 may be involved in atherosclerosis. In vitro studies , We have demonstrated that 6-shogaol, the major bioactive compound present in Zingiber officinale, could decrease TREM-1 expression, DAP12 phosphorylation,and inhibit NF-κB activation and endothelial cell apoptois, suggesting its anti-atherosclerosis effect. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that 6-shogaol might ameliorate atherosclerosis by inhibiting TREM-1 expression, regulating DAP12 phosphorylation and NF-κB activation. In this study, we will explore the role of TREM-1 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by TREM-1 agonists or RNAi approach and genetic knockout technique, and study the effect of 6-shogaol on TREM-1 expression, DAP12 phosphorylation and NF-κB activation on ApoE-/- mice in vivo and monocyte/macrophage in vitro. This study finding will be of great significance on illustration of 6-shogaol's anti-atherosclerosis effect and will help to understand the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis .
炎症是动脉粥样硬化(AS)发生发展的关键环节,髓系细胞促发受体-1 (Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1,TREM-1)是放大炎症反应的重要介质。动物模型中,我们下调TREM-1后AS斑块减小,提示其在AS中起重要作用;细胞模型中,6-姜烯酚(姜的有效成分)干预后,TREM-1、DAP12、NF-κB均下调,凋亡减少,提示其有抗AS作用。故假设:6-姜烯酚通过TREM-1/DAP12/NF-κB信号通路抗AS。拟利用TREM-1、ApoE基因敲除小鼠和巨噬细胞,通过siRNA、LP17干扰、激动剂方法,观察6-姜烯酚和TREM-1干预后对DAP12、NF-κB及其下游炎性因子和AS斑块的影响,明确6-姜烯酚对TREM-1/DAP12/NF-κB通路的调节及其抗AS作用,为探索AS的发病机制及治疗新靶点提供一定理论和实验基础。
动脉粥样硬化及其并发症严重威胁现代人的健康,给国家带来巨大的经济损失和沉重的社会负担。炎症是动脉粥样硬化发生发展的关键环节。髓系细胞促发受体-1是放大炎症反应的重要介质。在之前的细胞模型中,6-姜烯酚( 姜的有效成分)干预后,TREM-1、DAP12、NF-κB均下调,凋亡减少,提示其有抗AS作用。因此我们探讨TREM-1在动脉粥样硬化中的作用及6-姜烯酚抗动脉粥样硬化的分子机制。 . 在我们的在体研究中,我们发现oxLDL可诱导巨噬细胞TREM-1的表达,并诱导AKT、p38磷酸化,从而促进下游炎症因子TNF、IL-1、MCP-1等炎症因子的生成与释放。ox-LDL诱导h-monDCs TREM-1的表达,但当TREM-1被其si-RNA下调或者被LP17抑制后,表现出CD1a、 CD40、CD86和CD184的表达减低,该促进作用被明显抑制,说明下调或者抑制TREM-1可抑制h-monDCs的成熟。. 细胞研究发现oxLDL可诱导THP-1细胞TREM-1的表达增加,下游炎症因子 TNF、 IL-1、MCP-1合成释放增加。预先加入不同浓度的6-姜烯酚预孵后,TREM-1表达明显下降,炎症因子TNF、IL-1、MCP-1合成释放显著降低。动物研究发现6-姜烯酚具有良好的抗炎、抗氧化作用,并显著减少高脂喂养小鼠的血管动脉粥样硬化斑块面积。. 另外,该项目首次发现sTREM-1(TREM-1可溶性形式)在正常人中血清呈低浓度,而动脉粥样硬化患者sTREM-1水平升高,急性冠脉综合征的病人尤为明显。远期随访研究显示,sTREM-1水平是急性冠脉综合征患者预后的强预测因子。. 本研究首次明确了TREM-1放大炎症,参与动脉粥样发生、发展的作用,并进一步阐述了其分子机制,提出抑制TREM-1及其诱导的炎症反应可作为治疗动脉粥样硬化的靶点,具有广阔应用前景。同时我们的研究明确了6-姜烯酚抗动脉粥样硬化作用及分子药理学机制。
