摘要: 运用RT-PCR方法检测了体外培养的大鼠成骨样细胞Ros 17/2.8在17β雌二醇(E2)刺激前后细胞中一些细胞因子的mRNA水平。发现在E2刺激后,细胞中白血病抑制因子(LIF)的mRNA水平明显上升,且呈现E2浓度依赖的特点。该结果提示,LIF可能参与替代性治疗过程中雌二醇对于骨质硫松症的缓解作用。这为进一步研究细胞因子与骨质疏松症的相关性,阐明细胞因子在骨代谢中的作用打下了基础,并将有利于发展治疗骨代谢疾病的药物。
Abstract With RT-PCR techniques,we examined the expression pattern of some cytokines in rat osteoblast-like cell line ROS 17/2.8, which was stimulated with 17 β-estradiol. After treatment, the obvious increase of LIF(Leukaemia Inhibitory Factor)mRNA level in the cell was observed. It indicates that LIF may involve in the estrogen replacement treatment of osteoporosis. This work will found the base for clarifying the relationship between expression of cytokines and bone remoldeling, and may even facilitate the developement of drug for bone metabolism abnormality.
