Objective:To explore an induced and culture method for CD4+CD25+Treg cells in vitro,study the effect of Zerumbone about the differentiation and secretion functions of Treg cells and explore the mechanisms included. Methods:CD4+CD62L+T cells were isolated from BALB/c mice spleen and purified with magnetic bead methods. CD4+CD62L+T cells were co-cultured with transforming growth factor(TGF)-beta(5 ng/mL),interleukin(IL)-2(30 μg/mL) for CD4+CD25+Treg polarization.The cultured CD4+CD25+Treg cells were divided into five groups:the normal group;the induced group,which were cultured with the above protocol;Zerumbone(1 μmol/L)group;Zerumbone(10 μmol/L)group; Zerumbone(30 μmol/L)group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of CD4+CD25+Treg cells. The ELISA method was detected the levels of IL-10. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was detected the level of IL-10 mRNA and Foxp3 mRNA. Results:The proportion of CD4+CD25+Treg cells cultured with the protocol were significantly higher compared with the normal group(P < 0.05). The CD4+CD25+Treg cells proportion in Zerumbone(1 μmol/L),Zerumbone(10 μmol/L),Zerumbone(30 μmol/L)groups were significantly increased compared with group model,there is dose dependent(P < 0.05). The protein level of IL-10 was increased by Zerumbone and that was also dose-dependent. Zerumbone increased the expression of IL-10 mRNA and Foxp3 mRNA(P < 0.05). Conclusion:Zerumbone can increase the differentiation of splenic CD4+CD62L Zerumbone into CD4+CD25+Treg cells and induce the expressions of IL-10 protein in vitro. The results may be thought the activation of Foxp3 in CD4+CD25+Treg cells.
