[RelB gene expression in murine bone marrow-derived mature and immature dendritic cells].

AIM
To explore the expression of avian reticuloendotheliosis viral(v-rel) oncogene-related B (RelB) mRNA in vitro in murine mature and immature myeloid dendritic cells (DCs).


METHODS
The bone marrow was collected from the femur and tibias of C57BL/6 mice in sterile condition. Bone marrow precursors were cultured with recombinant mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (rmIL-4) to produce immature DCs. Immature DCs were stimulated by LPS 18 h before the end of culture to become mature. DCs' phenotype was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). RelB expression and protein level were determined by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining.


RESULTS
The expression level of co-stimulatory molecules (CD86 and CD40) and MHC-II class molecule were low in immature DCs, whereas high in mature DCs. RelB expression was significantly higher in mature DCs than in immature DCs (P<0.01).


CONCLUSION
RelB expression is closely associated with the maturative situation of DCs. Inhibition of RelB expression in DCs may induce tolerogenic DCs.
