摘要:


文题释义:
铁过载:是由于人体缺乏排出多余铁的有效途径,衰老、基因突变、膳食铁摄入、慢性输血等诸多危险因素会导致机体进行性和病理性铁超负荷,引起器官、细胞的广泛受损。
氧化应激:是指体内氧化与抗氧化作用失衡的一种状态,也是自由基在体内产生的一种负面作用,被认为是导致衰老和疾病的一个重要因素。

背景:目前尚不清楚过量的铁是如何参与关节炎发病的,研究铁过载参与关节炎发展的潜在机制可以为关节炎的治疗提供新的方向。
目的:通过枸橼酸铁铵和软骨细胞共培养构建软骨细胞的铁过载模型,观察在铁过载环境下对软骨细胞存活、铁沉积、氧化应激以及线粒体损伤的影响。
方法:采用酶消化法提取C57BL/6J小鼠膝关节软骨细胞,加入不同浓度(100,250,500,1 000,2 000 μmol/L)的枸橼酸铁铵干预软骨细胞,分别培养24,48,72 h,建立铁过载软骨细胞模型,采用CCK-8法分析细胞活力变化,钙黄绿素AM法测定细胞内铁含量,筛选出后续实验组所用枸橼酸铁铵浓度;采用荧光探针DCFH-DA染色检测活性氧水平,以JC-1为荧光探针检测线粒体膜电位变化,并通过实时定量荧光PCR和Western blot检测Ⅱ型胶原、基质金属蛋白酶3和13的表达水平。
结果与结论:500和1 000 μmol/L浓度枸橼酸铁铵与软骨细胞共培养48 h可成功建立软骨细胞铁过载模型。枸橼酸铁铵能够诱导软骨细胞内铁过载,且铁过载会破坏线粒体功能,增加细胞内活性氧的水平,软骨细胞的功能活性受损,分泌Ⅱ型胶原、聚集蛋白聚糖等基质成分的能力下降,导致关节软骨自身修复难度进一步加大,这为今后进一步研究铁过载对软骨细胞的损伤机制以及探索治疗铁过载性关节炎的有效治疗药物奠定基础。

Abstract: BACKGROUND:  It is unclear how excessive iron is involved in the development of arthritis, and investigating the potential mechanisms by which iron overload is involved in the development of arthritis could provide new directions for the treatment of arthritis.
OBJECTIVE: To establish an iron overload model of chondrocytes by co-culture of ferric ammonium citrate and chondrocytes, and to observe the effects of iron overload on chondrocyte survival, iron deposition, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial damage. 
METHODS: The chondrocytes of C57BL/6J mouse knee joint were extracted by enzyme digestion and cultured with ferric ammonium citrate (100, 250, 500, 1 000 and 2 000 μmol/L) chondrocytes for 24, 48 and 72 hours to establish chondrocyte models of iron overload. Cell viability was measured by cell counting kit-8. Content of iron was determined by Calcein-AM, and ferric ammonium citrate concentration was screened for subsequent experiments. Then, the level of reactive oxygen species was detected by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA and the change of mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1. Real-time quantitative PCR and western blot assays were used to detect the expression levels of type II collagen, matrix metalloproteinases 3 and 13. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The iron overload model could be successfully established in chondrocytes co-cultured with ferric ammonium citrate at the concentration of 500 and 1 000 μmol/L for 48 hours. Ferric ammonium citrate could induce iron overload in chondrocytes, and iron overload subsequently destroy mitochondrial function, increase the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species, impair the functional activity of chondrocytes, and decrease the cell ability to secrete type II collagen and aggrecan, which further increases the difficulty of articular cartilage self-repair. It lays a foundation for further research on the mechanism of chondrocyte injury caused by iron overload and the exploration of effective therapeutic drugs for the treatment of iron overload-induced arthritis.

Key words: iron overload, chondrocyte, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function
