摘要:

文题释义:
软骨:膝关节相连骨表面的一层透明软骨,具有吸收缓冲应力的作用,一般认为其营养来源于滑膜分泌的滑液和软骨下骨的血供系统。膝骨关节炎的进展主要表现为软骨的损伤,也常伴随着滑膜、软骨下骨病变。
Notch信号转导通路:是一条与血管内皮生长因子和血管新生有关的高度保守的细胞间通路,通过血管内皮生长因子激活的Notch信号(主要为Notch1参与)反过来也可以影响血管内皮生长因子的表达,这种相互作用在血管新生中发挥着至关重要的作用。
血管新生:从旧血管系统基础上延伸出新的血管,该过程涉及多种细胞及分子,生理和病理状态下均可以发生。

背景:血管新生参与早期膝骨关节炎进展,滑膜、软骨及软骨下骨均具有血管新生病理表现,探讨川芎嗪和过表达miR-20b-5p对这些组织病理性血管新生的抑制能力及相关作用途径,有助于开发新的早期膝骨关节炎治疗药物。
目的:通过组织学观察探讨川芎嗪和过表达miR-20b-5p对早期膝骨关节炎大鼠滑膜、软骨及软骨下骨血管新生的影响及可能发挥作用的途径。
方法:将25只SD大鼠进行早期膝骨关节炎造模,造模成功后分5组,每组5只:A组膝关节腔注射与灌胃给予生理盐水,B组膝关节腔注射agomir NC,C组膝关节腔注射miR-20b-5p agomir,D组灌胃给予川芎嗪+膝关节腔注射agomir NC,E组灌胃给予川芎嗪+膝关节腔注射miR-20b-5p agomir,膝关节腔注射为单次给药,灌胃给药为1次/d,连续灌胃4周。4周后处死大鼠,取完整左膝关节制作石蜡切片,进行苏木精-伊红染色、番红O-固绿染色与免疫组织化学染色。
结果与结论:①滑膜组织:苏木精-伊红染色与免疫组化染色显示,C、D、E组的血管密度、炎症细胞浸润程度及血管内皮生长因子蛋白、Notch1蛋白表达均低于A、B组(P < 0.05),E组血管密度、炎症细胞浸润程度及血管内皮生长因子蛋白、Notch1蛋白表达低于C、D组(P < 0.05);②软骨及软骨下骨组织:苏木精-伊红染色、番红O-固绿染色与免疫组织化学染色显示,C、D、E组的软骨基质流失程度及血管侵袭情况轻于A、B组,C、D、E组的骨关节炎软骨组织病理学评分及血管内皮生长因子蛋白、Notch1蛋白表达均低于A、B组(P < 0.05),E组的骨关节炎软骨组织病理学评分及血管内皮生长因子蛋白、Notch1蛋白表达低于C、D组(P < 0.05);③结果表明,在早期膝骨关节炎大鼠滑膜、软骨及软骨下骨中,川芎嗪和过表达miR-20b-5p可能通过抑制血管内皮生长因子/Notch1信号通路介导的血管新生在一定程度上改善多方面的组织学表现,抑制早期膝骨关节炎的进展。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis is involved in the progression of early-stage knee osteoarthritis. Synovium, cartilage and subchondral bone all have pathological manifestations of angiogenesis. To explore the inhibitory ability and related pathways of ligustrazine and overexpression of miR-20b-5p on pathological angiogenesis in these tissues will help to develop new drugs for the treatment of early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of ligustrazine and overexpression of miR-20b-5p on synovial, cartilage and subchondral bone angiogenesis in rats with early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
METHODS: Twenty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=5 per group): model group, agomir NC group, agomir group, ligustrazine+agomir NC group, and ligustrazine+agomir group. The rats in the agomir group and ligustrazine+agomir group were intraarticularly injected with miR-20b-5p agomir solution, while the rats in the agomir NC group and ligustrazine+agomir NC group were intraarticularly injected with the same dose of miR-20b-5p agomir NC solution. The model group was injected with the same amount of normal saline intraarticularly and intragastrically. The rats in the ligustrazine+agomir group and ligustrazine+agomir NC group were also given intragastric administration of ligustrazine. Intraarticular administration was done only once and intragastric administration was performed once a day for 4 weeks. Four weeks later, the rats in each group were killed and the left knee joint was fixed and made into paraffin sections for hematoxylin-eosin staining, Safranin O-fast green staining, and immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In synovial tissue, the vascular density, inflammatory cell infiltration, vascular endothelial growth factor protein and Notch1 protein in the agomir group, ligustrazine+agomir NC group and ligustrazine+agomir group were significantly lower than those in the model group and agomir NC group (P < 0.05). The vascular density, inflammatory cell infiltration, vascular endothelial growth factor protein and Notch1 protein in the ligustrazine+agomir group were significantly lower than those in the agomir group and ligustrazine+agomir NC group (P < 0.05). In cartilage and subchondral bone tissues, the loss of cartilage matrix and vascular invasion in the agomir group, ligustrazine+agomir NC group and ligustrazine+agomir group were slighter than those in the model group and agomir NC group. In cartilage and subchondral bone tissues, Osteoarthritis Research Society International score, vascular endothelial growth factor protein and Notch1 protein in the agomir group, ligustrazine+agomir NC group and ligustrazine+agomir group were significantly lower than those in the model group and agomir NC group (P < 0.05). Osteoarthritis Research Society International score, vascular endothelial growth factor protein and Notch1 protein expression in the ligustrazine+agomir group were significantly lower than those in the agomir group and ligustrazine+agomir NC group (P < 0.05). To conclude, ligustrazine and overexpression of miR-20b-5p in synovium, cartilage and subchondral bone may inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor/Notch1 mediated angiogenesis, improve various histological manifestations to some extent, and alleviate disease progression in rats with early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
