Zusammenfassung:OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of C5a on the expression of thrombomodulin (TM) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)
METHODS: HUVECs cultured in vitro were stimulated with C5a for 8, 12, 16, 20 hours in a concentration of 200 microg/L, and also with different concentrations of 100, 200, 300 microg/L for 12 hours respectively. The levels of both mRNA and protein expression of TM was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting respectively, and the dose and time dependent effects of C5a on the expression of TM were evaluated
RESULTS: C5a down-regulated the TM expression at both protein and mRNA level. The down-regulation was time-dependent [(93.11+/- 1.57) x10(-2) , (71.05+/-3.39)x10(-2), (65.48+/-4.28)x10(-2), (62.69+/-4.03)x10(-2)at protein level and (301.71+/-80.40)x10(-6), (38.29+/-20.24)x10(-6), (8.82+/-2.66)x10(-6), (7.05+/-0.80)x10(-6) at mRNA level, all P<0.05] and dose-dependent [(113.25+/-3.97)x10(-2), (80.18+/-2.56)x10(-2), (73.22+/- 4.36)x10(-2) at protein level and (401.77+/-20.46)x10(-6), (31.12+/-3.51)x10(-6), (18.19+/-1.46)x10(-6) at mRNA level , all P<0.05]. When concentration of C5a at 300 microg/L was used to stimulate HUVECs for longer than 12 hours, the lowering of TM at protein level was slowed down obviously. And concentration of C5a at 200 microg/L was used to stimulate HUVECs for 12 hours, the lowering of TM at mRNA level was slowed down obviously
CONCLUSION: C5a can depress the gene expression of TM, and then affect the protein's translation. By this means, C5a can lead to hypercoagulability and inflammatory injuries in sepsis
