摘要

11 beta -hydroxyglucocorticoids (HGCs) are known to induce apoptosis in immature T cells. Here we show that 11-oxoglucocorticoids (OGCs), which are oxidized metabolites of HGCs, counteract the apoptosis-inducing effects of HGC in murine thymocytes in vitro. Corticosterone at concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 muM induced apoptosis in thymocytes obtained from C57BL/6J mice aged 4 weeks, as demonstrated by cell staining with anti-phosphatidylserine antibody, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, and DNA fragmentation. Go-culture of the cells with 10-100 muM of OGCs, dehydrocorticosterone, cortisone, and prednisone significantly inhibited thymocyte apoptosis induced by 1 muM corticosterone, (p<0.006). Among the other 6 physiological metabolites of the HGCs we tested, 20-dehydrocortisol also showed considerable inhibitory effect on corticosterone-induced thymocyte apoptosis. Corticosterone-treatment of thymocytes in vitro decreased the number of CD4 and CD8 double positive cells, while co-culturing the cells with dehydrocorticosterone significantly attenuated this corticosterone effect (p<0.0001). Numbers of double-negative cells and single-positive cells were not significantly affected by corticosterone, dehydrocorticosterone, or both together. These results raised the possibility that OGCs and probably other HGC metabolites can regulate apoptotic cell death of immature double-positive thymocytes induced by HGC.
