摘要:


文题释义:

水凝胶:具有良好的亲水与高度溶胀特性,既可以保持大量的水分,又可以维持独特的三维结构网络,近年来在药物输送、干细胞递送、传递生物活性蛋白等方面展现了良好的优越性。
丹酚酸B:是丹参中含量最多的水溶性物质,其可抑制H2O2诱导的细胞损伤,有效清除过量的活性氧,发挥抗氧化特性,已被应用于许多疾病的治疗研究中。


背景:丹酚酸B可抑制H2O2诱导的细胞损伤,有效清除过量的活性氧,发挥抗氧化特性,已被应用于许多疾病的治疗研究中。但是,有关丹酚酸B在椎间盘退变中作用及其作用机制的研究相对较少。

目的:以甲基丙烯酰化明胶水凝胶为载体,通过体外细胞实验与动物体内实验观察丹酚酸B对氧化应激诱导的椎间盘退变的作用以及作用机制。
方法:制备负载丹酚酸B的甲基丙烯酰化明胶水凝胶(载药水凝胶)。①体外细胞实验:分离提取成年SD大鼠腰椎髓核细胞,选择第3代髓核细胞,分组处理:A组加入完全培养基;B组加入含H2O2的完全培养基;C组接种于未载药水凝胶上,加入含H2O2的完全培养基;D组接种于载药水凝胶上,加入含H2O2的完全培养基;E组接种于载药水凝胶上,加入含H2O2与TLR4信号通路抑制剂的完全培养基,检测细胞增殖、氧化应激、炎症反应、细胞基质相关蛋白的基因表达以及TLR4/核因子kB信号通路蛋白表达。②动物体内实验:将60只成年SD大鼠随机分为正常组、针刺组、针刺+丹酚酸组、针刺+水凝胶组、针刺+载药水凝胶组,每组12只,后4组采用针刺建立椎间盘退变模型后依次注射生理盐水、丹酚酸B溶液、未载药水凝胶、载药水凝胶治疗,术后4周分别进行影像学检测、病理组织形态观察。

结果与结论:①体外细胞实验:与A组比较,B组细胞增殖下降,氧化应激反应及炎症反应增强,细胞外基质降解酶(基质金属蛋白酶3、基质金属蛋白酶13、ADAMTS4、ADAMTS5)的表达增加(P < 0.05),细胞外基质(Ⅱ型胶原、蛋白聚糖)的合成减少(P < 0.05),TLR4/核因子kB信号通路蛋白表达增加(P < 0.05);与B组比较,D、E组细胞增殖升高,氧化应激反应及炎症反应减弱,细胞外基质降解酶的表达减少(P < 0.05),细胞外基质的合成增加(P < 0.05),TLR4/核因子kB信号通路蛋白表达减少(P < 0.05),其中以E组效果更显著。②动物体内实验:术后4周,针刺+载药水凝胶组退变椎间盘的椎间盘高度指数、MRI指数以及椎间盘病理组织学评分均较针刺组有了显著改善,而单纯注射水凝胶或是丹酚酸B溶液虽也可一定程度地改善椎间盘退变情况,但均不及注射载药水凝胶组。③结果表明,负载丹酚酸B的甲基丙烯酰化明胶水凝胶可抑制退变椎间盘组织中的氧化应激反应与炎症反应,抑制细胞外基质的降解,缓解椎间盘退变的进程,该作用可能通过抑制TLR4/核因子kB信号通路来完成的。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Salvianolic acid B can inhibit cell damage induced by H2O2, effectively remove excess reactive oxygen species, and exert antioxidant properties. It has been used in the treatment of many diseases. However, there are relatively few studies on the role and mechanism of salvianolic acid B in intervertebral disc degeneration.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect and mechanism of salvianolic acid B on oxidative stress-induced intervertebral disc degeneration by using gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel as a carrier through the in vitro cell experiment and the in vivo animal experiment.
METHODS: The gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel (drug-loaded hydrogel) loaded with salvianolic acid B was prepared. (1) In vitro cell experiment: The lumbar nucleus pulposus cells of adult SD rats were isolated and extracted, and passage 3 nucleus pulposus cells were selected and divided into groups: Group A was added complete medium. In group B, a complete medium containing H2O2 was added. Group C was inoculated on methylacrylylated gelatin hydrogel and added with a complete medium containing H2O2. Group D was inoculated on methyl acrylyl gelatin hydrogel loaded with salvianolic acid B and added into a complete medium containing H2O2. The E group was inoculated on the methylacrylyl gelatin hydrogel loaded with salvianolic acid B, and the complete medium containing H2O2 and the complete medium containing TLR4 signaling pathway inhibitor were added. Cell proliferation, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, gene expression of cell matrix-associated proteins and the protein expression of TLR4/nuclear factor-kB signaling pathway were detected. (2) Animal in vivo experiment: Sixty adult SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, acupuncture group, acupuncture + salvianolic acid group, acupuncture + hydrogel group and acupuncture + loading potion gel group, with 12 rats in each group. The last four groups were treated with acupuncture to establish models of intervertebral disc degeneration and then injected with normal saline, salvianolic acid B solution, non-drug loaded gel and drug-loaded gel in turn. Imaging examination and pathological observation were performed 4 weeks after surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) In vitro cell experiment: Compared with group A, the cell proliferation was decreased; the oxidative stress reaction and inflammation reaction were enhanced; the expression of extracellular matrix degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinase 3, matrix metalloproteinase 13, ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5) was increased in group B (P < 0.05), and the synthesis of extracellular matrix (type II collagen, proteoglycan) was decreased (P < 0.05). The protein expression of the TLR4/nuclear factor-kB signaling pathway was increased (P < 0.05). Compared with group B, the cell proliferation of groups D and E was increased, the oxidative stress response and inflammatory response were weakened, and the expression of extracellular matrix degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinase 3, matrix metalloproteinase 13, ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5) was decreased (P < 0.05), and the synthesis of extracellular matrix was increased (P < 0.05). The protein expression of TLR4/nuclear factor-kB signaling pathway was decreased (P < 0.05), and the effect was more significant in group E. (2) Animal in vivo experiment: 4 weeks after surgery, intervertebral disc height index, index of MRI and pathological and histological grading of the intervertebral disc had improved significantly in the acupuncture+drug-loaded hydrogel group, and simply injecting hydrogel or salvianolic acid B solution can to a certain extent improve the intervertebral disc degeneration, but they are not as good as the injection of the drug-loaded hydrogel. (3) It is concluded that gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel loaded with salvianolic acid B can inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation in the degenerated intervertebral disc tissue, inhibit the degradation of extracellular matrix, and alleviate the process of intervertebral disc degeneration, which may be accomplished by inhibiting the TLR4/nuclear factor-kB signaling pathway.
