文题释义:
NLRP3炎症小体:NLRP3炎症小体位于巨噬细胞等多种免疫细胞中,主要作用是识别外界的刺激信号,活化的NLRP3炎症小体可以激活半胱天冬氨1,进一步剪切白细胞介素1β,18等促炎介质诱导炎性反应。
黄芪甲苷:提取于豆科草本植物黄芪,具有抗肿瘤、增强免疫及促进生长等药理活性,还发现其可以抑制基质金属蛋白酶活性,改善膝关节炎的临床症状。
摘要
背景
:有研究表明黄芪甲苷对关节炎具有保护作用,但其对软骨细胞炎症反应及其作用机制尚不明确。
目的:探讨黄芪甲苷对脂多糖促使软骨细胞NLRP3炎症小体活化及炎性因子表达的影响。
方法:体外原代培养武汉巴菲尔生物有限公司提供的SD大鼠软骨细胞,根据不同干预方法分为对照组、脂多糖(1 mg/L)诱导组、脂多糖+低剂量(25 mmol/L)黄芪甲苷组、脂多糖+中剂量(50 mmol/L)黄芪甲苷组、脂多糖+高剂量(100 mmol/L)黄芪甲苷组,脂多糖与不同浓度黄芪甲苷共同处理细胞24 h,采用细胞计数法分析细胞相对存活率,酶联免疫吸附实验检测白细胞介素1β及肿瘤坏死因子α水平,蛋白免疫印迹法检测NLRP3炎症小体、半胱氨酸的天冬氨酸蛋白水解酶1、白细胞介素1β及肿瘤坏死因子α蛋白表达水平。
结果与结论:①软骨细胞形态:细胞核呈蓝色、胞质呈红色。与脂多糖诱导组比较,不同浓度黄芪甲苷组中软骨细胞相对存活率显著升高(P < 0.05);②炎性因子变化:黄芪甲苷各剂量组细胞上清中炎性因子白细胞介素1β及肿瘤坏死因子α水平显著降低(P < 0.05),软骨细胞中NLRP3炎症小体、半胱氨酸的天冬氨酸蛋白水解酶1、白细胞介素1β及肿瘤坏死因子α蛋白表达水平显著降低(P < 0.05),呈浓度依赖性;③结果证实,黄芪甲苷能够抑制NLRP3炎症小体活化影响软骨细胞白细胞介素1β及肿瘤坏死因子α蛋白的产生,进而抑制关节软骨细胞炎症损伤。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Astragaloside IV has been shown to hold a protective effect on arthritis, but its effect on inflammatory response in chondrocytes and the underlying mechanism are not yet clear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of astragaloside IV on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and the releases of inflammatory cytokines in chondrocytes.
METHODS: Sprague-Dawely rat knee chondrocytes (Wuhan Bafeier Biological Co., Ltd.) were cultured in vitro, which were identified by type II collagen immunofluorescence. Chondrocytes were divided into five groups, including control group, lipopolysaccharide (1 mg/L)-induced group, and lipopolysaccharide plus low-dose  (25 mmol/L), medium-dose (50 mmol/L), and high-dose (100 mmol/L) astragaloside IV groups. Cells were 
treated with lipopolysaccharide and astragaloside IV for 24 hours. The relative cell survival rate was analyzed by cell count. The levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were detected by ELISA. The protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α were detected by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cell nucleus of chondrocytes was blue and cytoplasm was red under the fluorescent microscope. Compared with lipopolysaccharide-induced group, the relative survival rate of chondrocytes in each astragaloside IV group was significantly increased (P < 0.05). The levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in supernatant were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The expression levels of NLRP3 inflammasome, caspase-1 and interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). These results indicate that astragaloside IV can inhibit the expression of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α protein in chondrocytes through inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, and further inhibit the inflammatory reaction of articular chondrocytes.
