title: [Stimulating the expression of macrophage inflammatory protein-2gamma by lipopolysaccharide in-vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the expression level of macrophage inflammatory protein-2gamma(MIP-2gamma)stimulated by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)in-vitro.
  
  
  METHODS
  Murine monocyte macrophage like cell line RAW264.7 and BALB/c mice primary kidney cell culture were stimulated with LPS. MIP-2gamma mRNA expression level in these cells was detected by real time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR.
  
  
  RESULTS
  MIP-2gamma mRNA expression level of RAW264.7 cell line increased quickly and reached the peak (7 times the normal level) within 2 hours after LPS stimulation and dropped to the base level within 16 hours, while that of cultured promary kidney cells of BALB/c mice elevated about 50 times compared with base level 12 hours following LPS stimulation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LPS can significantly stimulate the expression of MIP-2gamma mRNA, suggesting that MIP-2gamma may play some role in inflammatory process.
