title: [Study on type I interferon and phospho-IRF3 in murine liver dendritic cells after intervened by HBV].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To detect the secretions of type I interferon and the expressions of phospho-IRF3 in murine liver dendritic cells intervened by HBV.
  
  
  METHODS
  The murine liver dendritic cells were isolated via anti-CD11c microbeads and were incubated in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4 to induce the DC generation and proliferation in 24-well cell culture plates. HBV virions were isolated via ultracentrifugation and were detected by quantitative Realtime-PCR. The DCs were divided into two groups: one group was cultured with HBV virions for 24 hours, the other group was cultured without HBV as control group. The cells were harvested at Oh, 1h, 2h, 6h and 24h after being stimulated with poly I:C and the expressions of p-IRF3 and the concentration of IFN beta in supernatants were detected with western blot and ELISA respectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The IFN beta concentrations at 0 h, 6 h and 24 h in the supernatants of the HBV group and the control group were (12.38 +/- 3.71) pg/ml, (88.67 +/- 9.01) pg/ml and (69.89 +/- 5.80) pg/ml vs (10.83 +/- 4.11) pg/ml, (137.68 +/- 12.28) pg/ml and (72.25 +/- 8.61) pg/ml, respectively. No statistical differences found at 0 h (t = 0.8398, P > 0.05) and 24 h (t = 0.6820, P > 0.05) between the two groups except that at 6 h (t = 9.653, P < 0.01). The expressions of phospho-IRF3 in HBV group were lower than that in control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The type I interferon secretion and the phospho-IRF3 expression were decreased in murine liver dendritic cells when intervened by HBV.
