Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of granzyme B (GRB)-perforin (PFP) on macrophage apoptosis during selective induction of pancreatitis. Methods: Human mononuclear macrophage cell line (TPH-1) was stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) to simulate the macrophage microenvironment during acute pancreatitis. The optimum concentrations of TNF-α, PFP and GRB were screened by CCK8 test. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry in control group, TNF-α group, PFP+GRB group and TNF-α+PFP+GRB group. The cell samples were divided into three groups: normal cell group (NC group), TNF-α stimulation group (Treat1
group) and TNF-α+PFP+GRB stimulation group (Treat2 group). Three groups of cell RNA were extracted for transcriptomic analysis. Gene expression was detected by principal component analysis, differential gene analysis and enrichment analysis. Seven differentially expressed genes (RAB37, GPA33, USH1C, SYTL1, MSRB3,
GPER1, CD1B) were selected in the “cytokine - cytokine receptor interaction pathway” to verify the accuracy of RNA-seq by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results: Compared to NC group and Treat1 group, the apoptosis rate of Treat2 group was significantly higher. The difference between NC group and Treat1 group and Treat2
group was obvious, with more significant genes, while the difference between Treat1 group and Treat2 group was unconspicuous, but the change of Treat2 group was greater than that of Treat1 group in NC group. Enrichment analysis showed that the differential genes were mainly concentrated in the “cytokine - cytokine receptor interaction pathway”. The results of fluorescence quantitative PCR and RNA-seq were highly consistent. Conclusion:GRB-PFP selectively induces apoptosis of macrophages in pancreatitis and acts as a “cytokine - cytokine receptor interaction pathway” to down-regulate the expression of cytokines and reduces the inflammatory response.
