B7-H6 分子是近年來發(fā)現(xiàn)的B7家族新成員[1-3]。Brandt等[1]應(yīng)用生物素化的NKp30-Fc 蛋白作為探針,通過免疫共沉淀技術(shù)將與NKp30-Fc 蛋白結(jié)合的相反結(jié)構(gòu)的多肽進(jìn)行質(zhì)譜分析捕獲了假定蛋白DKFZp686024166。DKFZp686024166編碼454個氨基酸的I型跨膜蛋白, 胞內(nèi)區(qū)含有SaYtpL、SH2和SH3等多種信號分子以及一個Gag同源序列。DKFZp686024166與B7家族成員B7-H1和B7-H3具有序列相似性,其中與B7-H1的序列相似性達(dá)20%。受體NKp30序列和結(jié)構(gòu)分析表明NKp30與CD28家族成員cTLA4同源,進(jìn)一步證實(shí)了DKFZp686024166來源于B7家族,將之命名為B7-H6。Brandt等[1]進(jìn)一步證實(shí),B7家族成員B7-H6為人類NK細(xì)胞細(xì)胞毒性受體NKp30的配體,可以選擇性地表達(dá)在一些腫瘤細(xì)胞和惡性血液病細(xì)胞的血和骨髓,但在大多數(shù)正常組織細(xì)胞表達(dá)缺失或弱表達(dá)。
最近的研究進(jìn)一步表明,B7-H6 可被誘導(dǎo)表達(dá)于抗原呈遞細(xì)胞(antigen-presenting cells,APC)表面,參與NK-APC 對話[4]。而且B7-H6在某些炎癥環(huán)境中也可以被誘導(dǎo)表達(dá)。Matta等[5]發(fā)現(xiàn)膿毒血癥患者外周血促炎癥單核細(xì)胞(CD14+CD16+)表達(dá)B7-H6,并且與死亡率升高密切相關(guān)。體外通過Toll樣受體配體及炎癥細(xì)胞因子IL-1β和TNF-α刺激單核細(xì)胞和粒細(xì)胞,B7-H6也可以被誘導(dǎo)表達(dá)。我們前期的研究報(bào)道,NK細(xì)胞在人類重癥乙型肝炎患者肝臟顯著活化和大量募集,外周血NK細(xì)胞細(xì)胞毒性受體(NKp30和NKp46)的表達(dá)也顯著增強(qiáng)[6]。最近我們又發(fā)現(xiàn),在重癥乙型肝炎病人肝組織中,B7-H6可以被誘導(dǎo)表達(dá),這可能與重癥乙型肝炎肝臟的高炎癥狀態(tài)及細(xì)胞因子的“瀑布級聯(lián)效應(yīng)”密切相關(guān)。為進(jìn)一步研究重癥乙型肝炎B7-H6的表達(dá)在NK細(xì)胞介導(dǎo)的肝細(xì)胞凋亡中的作用,我們構(gòu)建了B7-H6過表達(dá)真核表達(dá)載體并轉(zhuǎn)染肝細(xì)胞系L02實(shí)現(xiàn)了肝細(xì)胞B7-H6的過表達(dá),進(jìn)一步通過CCK-8分析評估了NK-92細(xì)胞對過表達(dá)B7-H6的肝細(xì)胞的殺傷效應(yīng)。我們的研究結(jié)果顯示, NK-92細(xì)胞對轉(zhuǎn)染過表達(dá)B7-H6真核表達(dá)載體的肝細(xì)胞具有顯著的殺傷效應(yīng),表明在重癥乙型肝炎中,NK細(xì)胞可能通過NKp30-B7-H6識別通路介導(dǎo)肝細(xì)胞損傷,其精確的分子機(jī)制需進(jìn)一步深入研究。

AIM: To investigate the role of B7 homologue 6 (B7-H6) over-expression in natural killer (NK) cell-mediated hepatocyte apoptosis.METHODSThe full-length fragment ofB7-H6 gene was amplified by PCR and subcloned into linearized eukaryotic expression vector pIRES2-EGFP to construct recombinantB7-H6 over-expression vector pIRES2-EGFP-B7-H6. The recombinant plasmid was identified by double digestion, PCR and sequencing, and was then transfected into L02 cells. The expression of EGFP was observed by fluorescence microscopy and the transfection efficiency was evaluated by flow cytometry. B7-H6 expression was confirmed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The L02 cells transfected with pIRES2-EGFP-B7-H6 recombinant plasmid were co-cultured with NK-92 cells at different effector/target ratios, and the cytotoxicity of NK-92 cells was evaluated by CCK-8 assay.RESULTSThe strong green fluorescence in the L02 cells was observed under fluorescence microscope 48 h after transfection. The transfection efficiency reached 92.6%. The expression of B7-H6 at mRNA and protein levels was remarkably increased 48 h after transfection. The cytotoxicity of NK-92 cells against L02 cells transfected with pIRES2-EGFP-B7-H6 plasmid was significantly higher than that of the null vector transfection group (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONThe recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pIRES2-EGFP-B7-H6 was constructed successfully. The cytotoxic effect of NK-92 cells against L02 cells can be enhanced by transfecting L02 cells with pIRES2-EGFP-B7-H6 plasmid.
