Dendritic active T cells and mediate inflammation in smoke inhalation
injury mouse models
Abstract
Acute pulmonary and systemic inflammation induced by smoke inhalation is
crucial to the outcome and complications of burn patient, and immune
dysfunction is implicated in the development of organ injury. To reveal
the immune cytokines change and immune cell interactions is helpful to
know the immune response following smoke inhalation injury. We were
analyzing hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of the lung tissues of Smoke
inhalation mouse model, and detect the immune cytokine expression after
2,6,24,48,72 hours by The Real-Time qPCR. Flow cytometry was used to
identify the expression of DC cells, T cells in the spleen, bone marrow
derived-dendritic cells (BMDCs) and respective subtypes at 48h post
inhalation. CCK-8 detected at the level of BMDCs on T cell proliferation
in a mixed lymphocyte response. Smoke inhalation induced inflammation as
evidenced by the significantly altered inflammatory constituent,
including inflammatory cytokines and factors such as TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2,
IL-4, RAGE, TLR4 and HMGB1, as well as inflammatory cells such as
dendritic cells, regulatory T cells and BMDCs. Further research on BMDCs
revealed that after smoke exposure, there was an increased expression of
co-stimulatory molecules, such as CD80 and MHC-II, which aided T cell
proliferation. We found that cytokines and immune cells get activation
after smoke inhalation in the mouse model, and the activated BMDCs
prompt the proliferation of normal T cells.
