Objective To observe the expression of GdCl3 on Toll-like receptors (TLRs) of RAW264.7 from murine macrophage cell line induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Methods Cells were divided into 3 groups: blank group, LPS group and GdCl3 group. And these cells dyed by goat anti-mouse TLR2/4 poly-antibody and anti-goat IgG labelled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The synthesis of TLR2/4 protein were determined by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyzed their gene expression. Cell supernatants were taken to measure TNF-α production following the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) protocol. Results The expressions of TLR2/4 protein and mRNA in GdCl3 group under action of different concentration of GdCl3〔TLR2/4 protein, 200 μmol/L: (70.2±1.28)%/(66.7±2.59)%, 400 μmol/L: (64.9±1.43)%/(60.4±1.25)%, 2 000 μmol/L: (47.4±0.98)%/(32.1±0.74)%; TLR2/4 mRNA (the value of absorbance), 200 μmol/L: (76.42±2.76)/(101.72±3.14), 400 μmol/L: (75.60±3.76)/(89.65±5.17), 2 000 μmol/L: (64.22±4.67)/(78.44±4.88)〕 were significantly lower than those of in LPS group 〔TLR2/4 protein: (94.4±1.76)%/(95.7±0.87)%, P<0.01; TLR2/4 mRNA: (127.64±3.25)/(119.82±5.59), P<0.05, P<0.01〕. The expression of TNF-α in GdCl3 group under action of different concentration of GdCl3〔200 μmol/L: (2 540±77) pg/ml, 400 μmol/L: (2 041±106) pg/ml, 2 000 μmol/L: (1 020±220) pg/ml〕 was also significantly lower that that of in LPS group 〔(4 688±127) pg/ml, P<0.01)〕. Conclusion  GdCl3 significantly inhibits TLR expression and secretion of TNF-α under the condition of LPS stimulation in vivo.
