Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest that sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-2 and matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) are up-regulated in chondrocytes of patients with osteoarthritis. The role of resveratrol in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis is considered to be involved in the reduction of chondrocyte apoptosis and synovial inflammation.
OBJECTIVE: To further investigate the effect of resveratrol on the expression of MMP-13 and SREBP-2 in chondrocytes.
METHODS: Mouse knee chondrocytes were isolated and cultured in vitro, and identified by immunofluorescence staining with collagen type II. The experiment was divided into three groups according to the different addition materials: blank control group, lipopolysaccharide group (1 mg/L) and resveratrol group (100 μmol/L resveratrol plus 1 mg/L lipopolysaccharide). The expression level of MMP-13 protein in chondrocytes was detected by western blot assay. The expression level of SREBP-2 in chondrocytes was determined by ELISA method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Fluorescence microscopy showed that the number of cells positive for collagen type II accounted for more than 95%, confirming that the cultured cells were chondrocytes. Compared with the blank control group, the expression levels of SREBP-2 and MMP-13 in the lipopolysaccharide group were significantly increased, and the expression levels of SREBP-2 and MMP-13 in the resveratrol group were lower than those in the lipopolysaccharide group, but they were still higher than those in the blank control group. In summary, resveratrol can inhibit the expression of SREBP-2 and MMP-13 in mouse chondrocytes.
