Objective:To investigate the role of Pyrin in macrophage M1 polarization. Methods:THP-1 cells were cultured and periph-eral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC),bone marrow-derived macrophage(BMDM) were extracted. These three kinds of cells were ran-domly divided into control group and treatment group. Treatment group was treated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS,100 ng/mL) and in-terferon-γ(IFN-γ,20 ng/mL) to construct macrophage M1 polarization models(THP-1 for 18 h,PBMC and BMDM for 24 h). qRT-PCR,Western blot and flow cytometry(FCM) were used to test the markers of M1 polarization,qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to test the expression of MEFV and Pyrin. Results:Compared with those of control group,qRT-PCR detection of THP-1-M1 polarization markers:TNF-α(t=-4.360,P=0.007),IL-1β(t=-8.329,P=0.000),IL-6(t=-2.924,P=0.033),CD14(t=-2.858,P=0.035),CD80(t=-3.433,P=0.019) and Western blot detection of THP-1-M1 polarization markers:TNF-α(t= -3.827,P=0.031),IL-1β(t=-4.189,P=0.025),IL-6(t=-5.345,P=0.002) were significantly increased after the treatment with LPS and IFN-γ. The mRNA levels of TNF-α(t=-2.893,P=0.034),IL-1β(t=-3.606,P=0.015),IL-6(t=-2.895,P=0.034),CD14(t=-2.645,P=0.046),CD80(t=-3.648,P=0.015) of PBMC-M1 polarization markers and the mRNA levels of TNF-α(t=-6.123,P=0.002),IL-1β(t=-2.697,P=0.043),MCP-1(t=-4.335,P=0.007),iNOS(t=-3.607,P=0.015) of BMDM-M1 polarization markers were signifi-cant higher after the treatment with LPS and IFN-γ. Treatment group displayed higher positive cells of THP-1-M1 polarization marker HLA-DR(t=-3.270,P=0.017) and BMDM-M1 polarization marker F4/80+CD11c+(t=-3.833,P=0.009) than control group. These results suggested that the M1 polarization models were constructed successfully. In these three M1 polarization models,qRT-PCR and Western blot detection of MEFV(t=-3.226,P=0.023) and Pyrin(t=-8.591,P=0.000) of THP-1-M1 macrophages were significantly increased. The mRNA level of MEFV of PBMC-M1 macrphages(t=-2.989,P=0.030) and BMDM-M1 macrophages(t=-2.891,P=0.034) were significant higher than control group. Conclusion:The expressions of Pyrin increase in macrophage M1 polariza-tion;Pyrin maybe related to macrophage M1 polarization.
