摘要:

文题释义:
软骨细胞:软骨细胞和细胞外基质构成关节软骨,软骨细胞分解与合成代谢间的不平衡决定了软骨的降解,而软骨降解是骨关节炎的主要病理特征。因此软骨细胞损伤、凋亡致细胞外基质合成减少是骨关节炎的主要病理过程。
Chemerin:是一种在脂肪组织、软骨组织、滑膜组织中广泛存在的脂肪因子,其与肥胖、2型糖尿病、肝病、肾病、心血管疾病等代谢性疾病存在明显相关性,近年来发现其与骨关节炎的发生发展可能存在紧密连接。

背景:骨关节炎的关键病理特征体现为炎症致软骨的退变,而软骨细胞是软骨中的唯一细胞,其受损首当其冲。有研究表明Chemerin可刺激白细胞向炎症部位迁移,增加软骨细胞的炎症信号,提示Chemerin在关节炎症中有所作用。前期课题组研究发现,骨关节炎患者的血清中的Chemerin水平明显升高,关节滑液中的Chemerin水平与以Kellgren-Lawrence分级为标准的骨关节炎严重程度相关,Chemerin在骨关节炎中可能作为炎症因子起重要作用。
目的:探讨Chemerin对软骨细胞增殖、代谢的影响。
方法:用Ⅱ型胶原酶消化法分离新生乳鼠软骨细胞并培养,建立细胞生长曲线,用MTT法筛选对正常软骨细胞有毒性的Chemerin浓度范围。用白细胞介素1β(10 μg/L)构建骨关节炎的体外细胞模型。软骨细胞在药物存在下处理2 d后,通过苏木精-伊红染色、番红O染色、二乙酸荧光素/碘化丙啶染色、观察细胞形态和增殖代谢;另检测细胞一氧化氮分泌量分析诱导型一氧化氮合酶(一氧化氮合酶2)的表达;同时使用荧光定量PCR检测软骨形成标志基因如蛋白聚糖、Ⅱ型胶原a1,分解代谢基因如基质金属蛋白酶13、一氧化氮合酶2基因的表达变化。
结果与结论:①体外培养的软骨细胞活性、形态良好;②Chemerin(50 μg/L)及白细胞介素1β(10 μg/L)均可减少细胞外基质的合成,促进细胞分泌一氧化氮和凋亡;③荧光定量PCR结果进一步显示Chemerin和白细胞介素1β作用相似,可下调软骨形成标志基因表达及上调软骨细胞分解代谢基因表达;④结果表明,Chemerin作为一种促炎症因子能促进软骨细胞一氧化氮高表达,调节细胞代谢平衡,促进细胞凋亡,并与白细胞介素1β具有协同作用。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The key pathological characteristics of osteoarthritis are manifested in the degeneration of the cartilage caused by inflammation, and chondrocytes are the only cells in cartilage tissues. Studies have shown that Chemerin can stimulate the migration of leukocytes to the inflammation site and increase the inflammation signal of chondrocytes, suggesting that Chemerin can play a role in arthritis. Our previous research indicated that the serum Chemerin level in patients with osteoarthritis was significantly increased, and the Chemerin level in the synovial fluid was related to the severity of osteoarthritis based on the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Chemerin may be used as an inflammatory factor in osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Chemerin on the proliferation and metabolism of chondrocytes.
METHODS: The chondrocytes from neonatal mice were isolated by collagenase type II digestion, and then cultured. Cell growth curves were established and the range of concentrations of Chemerin that exhibited toxicity to normal chondrocytes was screened using an MTT assay. Subsequently, 10 μg/L interleukin-1β was used to stimulate the chondrocytes in order to establish an in vitro model of osteoarthritis induction. After the chondrocytes had been cultured in the presence of the drug for 2 days, cell morphology, proliferation and metabolism were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin staining and diacetate fluorescein/propidium iodide staining. In addition, the expression of inducible nitric oxide polymerase was analyzed by measuring the secretion of nitric oxide. Furthermore, qRT-PCR was used to quantify mRNA expression of proteoglycan, type II collagen α1, matrix metalloprotease-13 and nitric oxide synthase 2.  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The chondrocytes cultured in vitro exhibited healthy activity and morphology. Furthermore, chemerin (50 μg/L) and interleukin-1β (10 μg/L) were able to reduce the synthesis of extracellular matrix, enhance the secretion of nitric oxide and increase chondrocyte apoptosis. More importantly, the qRT-PCR results indicated that Chemerin and interleukin-1β caused similar effects, by which the expression of cartilage-specific genes was downregulated and catabolism-related genes upregulated. As a pro-inflammatory factor, Chemerin can increase the generation of nitric oxide in chondrocytes, regulate cell metabolism, stimulate cell apoptosis and act synergistically with interleukin-1β.

Key words: Chemerin, chondrocyte, cell proliferation, cell metabolism, nitric oxide
