Abstract:Objective: To explore the damage effect of extracellular histones on the renal tubular cells (Cos-7 cell) and the relating mechanism. Methods: Cos-7 cells stimulated by different concentration (0, 50, 100, 200 μg/mL) of histones were observed. After treatment with histones (100 μg/mL), Cos-7 cells were collected to detect the expression of T-cell immunoglobulin and mucindomain-containing molecules-1 (TIM1), cysteine aspartate-specific protease 3 (caspase3) and Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) by Western blot at different time points (0, 12, 24, and 48 h). Results: The activity of the Cos-7 cells decreased with the increase of histones concentration. Under the same histones concentration, the expression of TIM1, cleaved-caspase3/t-caspase3 and TLR-2 increased with the stimulation time of the histones. Conclusion: Extracelluar histones induce the kidney injury, and the mechanism may be the induction of renal tubular cell apoptosis through TLR-2 signaling pathway.
