Objective:
To investigate the effect of 3'-meisoindigo on the proliferation and the biological function of the splenocyte and thymocyte of mouse, which were 8 weeks old masculinity BALB/c, C57BL/6 and F1 hybridization mouse.
Methods:
Cells of thymus and spleen were harvested and prepared as the unicell suspension, then treated with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 micromol/L 3'-meisoindigo. The cell proliferation was by MTT method, concentration of IL-12 was dectected by ELISA method, the mRNA levels of Bcl-2 and CDK2 were decected by RT-PCR. The cell cycle, apoptosis ratio, death ratio and intracellular ROS concentration were detected by FCM method. The protein level of Bcl-2, CDK2 and Bax were detected by immumofluorescence method.
Results:
15, 20, 25 micromol/L 3'-meisoindigo can inhibit the proliferation of thymocyte and splenocyte (P < 0.05). It had dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. 3'-meisoindigo inhibit the secretion of IL-12, even at 5 micromol/L concentration. 15 micromol/L 3'-meisoindigo decrease the mRNA level of Bcl-2 and CDK2, induced apoptosis and G2 arrestting of the thymocyte and splenocyte. (P < 0.05). The intracellular ROS level increased after treated by 3'-meisoindigo at 15 micromol/L for 24 h (P < 0.05). There were no difference among three germ line mouse.
Conclusion:
Above 15 micromol/L, 3'-meisoindigo can inhibit the proliferation and externalization function of thymocyte and splenocyte from different germ line mouse, meanwhile the mRNA and protein level of Bcl-2 and CDK2 decrease, the Bax protein expressed increased, the intracellular ROS level increase too.
