Abstract:

Objective To observe the effect of VIP(vasoactive intestinal peptide) on TREM-2 expression in mouse fibroblasts induced by LPS(lipopolysaccharides) and to explore its possible signaling pathway.   Methods ALI animal model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS, and VIP lentivirus tracheal infusion was used, and the expression of TREM-2 in lung tissue was detected by qPCR. qPCR and flow cytometry were used to detect the effect of VIP on TREM-2 expression in LPS-induced fibroblasts, and to observe the effects of PKC signal pathway blocker (H-7), PKA signal pathway blocker (H-89), MAPK signal pathway blocker (PD98059) and CaM signal pathway blocker (W-7) on the regulation of VIP expression TREM-2. Results The TREM-2 mRNA expression of lung tissue in mice decreased in ALI, while VIP could increase TREM-2 mRNA expression in lung tissue. LPS down-regulated the expression of TREM-2 mRNA in mice fibroblast, and VIP up-regulated the expression of TREM-2 mRNA in a time-dependent manner (0 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h), and reached the peak at 6 h. VIP dose related with the TREM-2 mRNA expression (10-10 mol/L, 10-9 mol/L, 10-8 mol/L, 10-7 mol/L). The up-regulation effect of VIP on TREM-2 mRNA and protein expression in mouse fibroblasts (stress by LPS for 6 h) could be blocked by H-7, PD98059, and W-7.  Conclusion LPS can down-regulate the TREM-2 expression of mouse fibroblasts, while VIP can up-regulate the expression of TREM-2 in LPS induced fibroblasts, and the intracellular signal transduction pathway may be related to PKC, MAPK and CaM.
