摘要:

文题释义:

薏苡仁蛋白:是薏苡仁主要组分,薏苡仁记载于《神农本草经》:“薏苡仁主筋急拘挛,不可屈伸,风湿痹……”,具有利水渗湿、健脾除痹、清热排脓之功效,以其为主治疗类风湿关节炎疗效显著。
肿瘤坏死因子α:主要是来自单核巨噬细胞,是重要的生物活性细胞因子,参与全身炎症,同时也是刺激急性期反应的细胞因子之一,为类风湿关节炎的标志物之一。

背景:类风湿性关节炎是一种自身免疫性疾病,以关节炎症及疼痛为主要症状,属中医痹症范畴。以薏苡仁为主的方剂为除痹经典方,但起效组分及其机制尚不清楚。
目的:探讨观薏苡仁及其组分对佐剂性关节炎大鼠的抗炎作用及其作用机制,寻找薏苡仁抗炎的关键组分。
方法:64只SPF级Wistar大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、地塞米松组、薏苡仁水煎液组、薏苡仁挥发油组、薏苡仁蛋白组、薏苡仁多糖组、薏苡仁淀粉组,除正常组外,其余各组大鼠右后足足跖皮下注射完全弗氏佐剂0.2 mL诱导佐剂性关节炎模型,造模后第14天开始灌胃给予相应药物;对照组、模型组给予同体积生理盐水,连续给药18 d。观察各组大鼠一般情况和体质量变化,周长法测量足肿胀度,检测胸腺和脾指数,酶联免疫吸附法检测外周血清白细胞介素1、白细胞介素6和肿瘤坏死因子α质量浓度,苏木精-伊红染色法观察大鼠膝关节病理改变。

结果与结论:①与正常组相比,造模后各组大鼠的关节肿胀程度达到高峰期,且体质量显著升高(P < 0.05);与模型组比较,薏苡仁水煎液组、薏苡仁挥发油组大鼠体质量显著降低(P < 0.05);②与模型组比较,地塞米松组、薏苡仁挥发油组大鼠关节周长均明显下降,关节肿胀程度减轻(均P < 0.05);同时地塞米松组、薏苡仁蛋白组及薏苡仁挥发油组大鼠痛阈明显提高(P < 0.05);③与正常组相比,模型组大鼠的胸腺指数和脾指数显著升高(P < 0.05,P < 0.01);与模型组相比,地塞米松能显著降低大鼠胸腺指数(P < 0.05)及脾指数(P < 0.01),且薏苡仁蛋白可降低大鼠脾指数(P < 0.05);④与模型组相比,地塞米松组、薏苡仁蛋白组和薏苡仁挥发油组大鼠血清中白细胞介素1、白细胞介素6和肿瘤坏死因子α质量浓度均显著降低(P < 0.01);⑤提示薏苡仁蛋白和薏苡仁挥发油对大鼠类风湿关节炎的抗炎镇痛效果较为显著,可能通过降低大鼠血清中白细胞介素1、白细胞介素6和肿瘤坏死因子α的质量浓度,进而减轻佐剂性关节炎大鼠关节红肿的症状。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes joint inflammation and pain, which is categorized as arthralgia in traditional Chinese medicine. Coix seed-based prescription is the classic prescription for relieving arthralgia, but the active components and their mechanisms are still unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of coix seed and its components in adjuvant arthritis rats and to find the key anti-inflammatory components of coix seed. 
METHODS: Sixty-four SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, dexamethasone group, coix seed decoction group, coix seed volatile oil group, coix seed protein group, coix seed polysaccharide group, and coix seed starch group. In addition to the normal group, animal models were successfully established in the other groups by subcutaneous injection of 0.2 mL of Freund’s complete adjuvant into the planta pedis of the right hindfoot. Drug administration by gavage began on the 14th day after modeling and lasted for 18 days. The control and model groups were given the same volume of normal saline. General conditions and body mass changes in rats were observed. The swelling degree of the feet was measured by perimeter method. Thymus and spleen indexes were detected. Levels of interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α in the cartilage were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Histopathological changes of rat knee joint were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the normal group, the degree of joint swelling in each group reached the peak after modeling (14 days), and the body mass was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the body mass of rats in coix seed decoction group and coix seed volatile oil group decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the joint circumference of rats in the dexamethasone group and coix seed volatile oil group decreased significantly, and the degree of joint swelling decreased (both P < 0.05). Compared with the normal control group, the thymus index and spleen index increased significantly in the model group (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the thymus and spleen indexes in the dexamethasone group decreased significantly (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Coix seed protein could significantly decrease the spleen index (P < 0.05). Compared with the normal control group, the levels of interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α in serum were significantly downregulated in the dexamethasone group, coix seed volatile oil group, and coix seed protein group (P < 0.01). To conclude, coix seed protein and coix seed volatile oil have significant effects on rheumatoid arthritis in rats, which may reduce the serum levels of interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α, thereby alleviating joint redness and swelling in adjuvant arthritis rats.
