Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of lncRNA-Scarna10 (
Scarna10) on resveratrol (RSV)-induced polarization of macrophages.
Methods: M1 polarization model of RAW264.7 macrophages was established by LPS and treated with RSV for 24 hours. The study groups were divided into control group, LPS group and RSV+ LPS group. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of
Scarna10, and western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of macrophage polarization markers (iNOS, Arg-1, CD206). RAW264.7 cells were divided into Si-NC group, LPS+Si-NC group, RSV+LPS+Si-NC group and RSV+LPS+Si-
Scarna10 group after silencing
Scarna10, and the expression of
Scarna10 and macrophage polarization markers in each group after transfection was detected.
Results: After LPS induction and resveratrol intervention, the protein expression level of iNOS, a M1 polarization marker, was elevated in the LPS group, the protein expression levels of Arg-1 and CD206, M2 polarization markers, were elevated, while the protein expression level of iNOS was decreased in the RSV+LPS group. At the same time, the expression level of
Scarna10 in the RSV+LPS group was higher than that in the LPS group. After silencing
Scarna10, compared with the RSV+LPS+Si-NC group, the expression level of
Scarna10 and the protein expression levels of Arg-1 and CD206 in RSV+LPS+Si-
Scarna10 group were decreased, and the protein expression level of iNOS was elevated. The differences among the above groups were statistically significant (all
P<0.05).
Conclusion: The expression of
Scarna10 is upregulated in M1 macrophages following RSV intervention, and silencing
Scarna10 can reverse the RSV-induced promotion of M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization.
