摘要:

文题释义:

细胞凋亡:为维持内环境稳定,由基因控制的细胞自主有序的死亡。与细胞坏死不同,细胞凋亡不是一件被动的过程,而是主动过程,它涉及一系列基因的激活、表达以及调控等作用,是为更好地适应生存环境而主动争取的一种死亡过程。

P-p38蛋白:磷酸化p38蛋白,存在于P38MAPK信号通路中,该通路是丝裂原活化蛋白激酶的亚类之一,该通路中的特异性p38蛋白经过磷酸化级联反应直接磷酸化,从而被激活并具备生物活性,存在于软骨组织中,可反映骨关节炎严重程度。

背景:金骨莲胶囊为传统的苗药组方,其成分主要包含金铁锁、汉桃叶等成分,既往研究表明该药物具有软骨保护作用,但对其软骨保护的机制还不清楚。

目的:探讨金骨莲灌胃治疗骨关节炎的可能机制。

方法:从40只家兔中随机挑选10只作为空白对照组,余下的30只家兔以改良Hulth法在兔右侧后膝建立骨关节炎模型,并随机分为骨关节炎模型组(10只)、金骨莲灌胃组(10只),p38抑制剂组(10只)。建模7 d后,金骨莲灌胃组给予金骨莲与双蒸水混合液10 mL灌胃[57.5 mg/(kg·d)];p38抑制剂组给予兔右侧后膝关节腔注射10 μmol/L p38抑制剂(SB203580)0.5 mL,每周1次;空白对照组及骨关节炎模型组仅灌服等量双蒸水,1次/d,干预8周后处死动物取右侧后膝关节股骨髁及胫骨平台。采用Pelletier评分评估软骨损伤情况;苏木精-伊红染色、番红O染色及Mankin评分评估软骨退变情况;Western blot检测软骨组织中P-p38及Cleaved Caspase-3蛋白的表达;实时荧光定量PCR检测各组软骨组织中Bcl-2、Bax mRNA表达。

结果与结论:①金骨莲灌胃组Pelletier评分及Mankin评分较骨关节炎模型组及p38抑制剂组明显降低(P < 0.05);②金骨莲灌胃组软骨组织中Bax mRNA、Cleaved Caspase-3蛋白表达较骨关节炎模型组及p38抑制剂组明显降低(P < 0.05);③金骨莲灌胃组Bcl-2 mRNA的表达较骨关节炎模型组及p38抑制剂组均明显升高(P < 0.05);④金骨莲灌胃组软骨组织中P-p38蛋白表达较骨关节炎模型组与p38抑制剂组明显降低(P < 0.05);⑤结果表明,金骨莲可抑制骨关节炎模型兔软骨组织中凋亡相关蛋白和P-p38蛋白的表达,从而延缓关节软骨退变。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Psammosilene Capsule is a traditional Miao medicine formula that consists of Psammosilene tunicoides and Schefflera kwangsiensis. Psammosilene Capsule has been shown to hold protective effect on cartilage, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the possible mechanism of Psammosilene gavage in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

METHODS: Ten of the 40 rabbits were randomly selected as the blank control group. The remaining 30 rabbits were used to establish the osteoarthritis model in the right hind knee of the rabbit by the modified Hulth method, and then were randomly divided into model (n=10), Psammosilene gavage (n=10), and p38 inhibitor (n=10) groups. At 7 days after modeling, the Psammosilene gavage group was fed with Psammosilene (57.5 mg/kg per day, p38 inhibitor group was injected with p38 inhibitor into the right hind knee joint (SB203580, 10 μmol/L, 0.5 mL), once weekly. The blank control and model groups were given the same amount of clean water, once daily. After 8 weeks, all animals were sacrificed to remove the right hind knee femoral condyle and tibial plateau. Severity of cartilage injury was evaluated by Pelletier score. Cartilage degeneration was examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining, saffron O staining and Mankin score. The expression levels of P-p38 and Cleaved Caspase-3 protein in cartilage tissue were detected by western blot assay. The expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA in cartilage tissues were detected by quantitative real-time PCR.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with the Psammosilene gavage group, the model and p38 inhibitor groups had significantly increased Pelletier and Mankin scores (P < 0.05). (2) Compared with the Psammosilene gavage group, the expression levels of Bax mRNA and Cleaved Caspase-3 protein in the cartilage tissue in the model and p38 inhibitor groups were significantly increased (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with the Psammosilene gavage group, the expression level of Bcl-2 mRNA in the cartilage tissue in the model and p38 inhibitor groups was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). (4) Compared with the Psammosilene gavage group, the expression level of P-p38 protein in the model and p38 inhibitor groups was significantly increased (< 0.05). (5) Our findings suggest that Psammosilene can inhibit the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and P-p38 protein in cartilage tissue, and then delay the degeneration of articular cartilage in the rabbit osteoarthritis model.
