2.1.3 筛选芒果苷与骨关节炎的共同作用靶标 在 Metascape 数据库中,对药物与疾病交集靶点进行基因本体和京都基因和基因组百科全书富集分析,以 P≤0.05 筛选并可视化结果,获得3 274条生物过程、201条细胞组分、345条生物过程及235条京都基因和基因组百科全书信号通路数据。分析蛋白质相互作用网络拓扑参数,结果显示白细胞介素 6、肿瘤坏死因子、核因子κB1是节点度值排名前3的核心靶标(图 4),可能是芒果苷治疗骨关节炎的关键靶标。 2.1.4 基因本体功能注释与京都基因和基因组百科全书通路富集解析 在Metascape数据库中,对药物与疾病的共有靶点执行基因本体功能及京都基因和基因组百科全书通路富集分析,以 P≤0.05 筛选后可视化,得到 3 274条生物过程、201条细胞组分、345条结合活性及235条京都基因和基因组百科全书信号通路数据。基因本体分析表明,芒果苷参与脂多糖合成、炎症调节等生物过程,涉及膜筏、质膜微区等细胞组分,影响胰岛素受体底物结合等分子功能(图 5)。京都基因和基因组百科全书分析显示,芒果苷可能通过脂质与动脉粥样硬化、晚期糖基化产物-受体、缺氧诱导因子1、雌激素等信号通路发挥抗骨关节炎的作用(图 6)。 2.1.5 构建与剖析药物-靶标-信号通路-疾病的关联网络架构 通过整合分子功能、靶标、富集通路及骨关节炎相关数据,从"
结合能均低于?20.9 kJ/mol,具体为?26.36,?45.61,?25.94,?30.96,?29.71 kJ/mol,这表明分子功能与这些靶标具有良好的亲和性,与网络药理学平台的预测结果一致。因此,推测芒果苷主要通过这些靶点发挥作用。 2.2 动物实验结果 2.2.1 各组大鼠疼痛变化评估结果 在整个实验周期内,纳入实验的24只大鼠均完成实验,无动物脱失的情况发生。实验中,检测不同时间点大鼠后肢质量分布,以此反映关节疼痛发展进程。术前各组大鼠后肢质量分布正常。术后第3天,因手术创伤,各实验组手术患肢质量分布显著下降,表明手术切口致患肢负重能力降低,且各实验组间无显著差异。术后2,4周,假手术组因无前交叉韧带损伤且伤口愈合,患肢负重趋于正常,无明显疼痛;实施前交叉韧带切断术的3组大鼠负重显著减少,表明关节炎发作致关节损伤加重,引发疼痛。治疗前,模型对照组平均患肢负重百分比低于假手术组。经4周芒果苷治疗,芒果苷20 μmol/L和芒果苷40 μmol/L 组大鼠后肢负重逐步回升,表明芒果苷有效缓解关节疼痛,使负重情况趋近假手术组。与之对比,模型对照组在研究周期内无类似改善。从图9可见,模型对照组平均患侧后肢负重较假手术组显著降低,凸显芒果苷治疗对改善大鼠关节疼痛和负重能力的积极作用。"
2.2.2 药物治疗前后后肢负重(疼痛情况)对比 术后4周及9周(药物治疗4周后)各组大鼠的负重对比见图10。治疗前,除假手术组外,3个实验组(模型对照组、芒果苷20 μmol/L组、芒果苷40 μmol/L组)大鼠后肢负重显著下降(假手术组与术前对比,P > 0.05;3个实验组与术前相比,P均< 0.001),表明造模成功诱导骨关节炎,导致关节疼痛并影响后肢负重。经4周药物治疗后,模型对照组、芒果苷20 μmol/L组及芒果苷40 μmol/L组与假手术组相比,P 均 < 0.001;但3个实验组间比较,无明显差异(P均> 0.05)。经9周药物治疗后,情况改变。芒果苷20 μmol/L组及芒果苷40 μmol/L组中,大鼠后肢负重(反映疼痛程度)较模型对照组显著改善(芒果苷20 μmol/L组与模型对照组相比,P < 0.05;芒果苷40 μmol/L组与模型对照组相比,P < 0.001)。尤其芒果苷40 μmol/L组与假手术组相比,负重几无差异(P > 0.05),显示该剂量芒果苷在缓解大鼠关节疼痛、恢复后肢负重能力方面效果显著。"
2.2.3 大鼠关节炎大体观察结果 如图11所示,模型对照组大鼠仅接受了关节腔二甲基亚砜溶剂注射,其股骨远端显现出典型的骨关节炎特点,股骨髁的关节面变得粗糙,尤其是内侧髁更为显著,外侧髁也出现了退变的情况;内侧髁的透明软骨表面颜色暗沉、毫无光泽,遭受了严重的损伤,在负重区域,软骨出现了剥脱现象,部分区域已被纤维组织所取代,髁边缘有大量的骨赘形成;髌股关节内、外侧面磨损退变突出,内侧面更严重,这可能是前交叉韧带切除破坏关节生物力学稳定,加上髌骨脱位术后髌股关节不匹配,导致股骨前侧关节面及髌骨严重磨损。通过对比可以看到,在芒果苷20 μmol/L组大鼠中,其股骨髁软骨的磨损程度相对较轻,大部分软骨面较为平整,色泽略显光亮,骨质增生的情况并不突出,仅仅是部分区域的颜色略显暗沉,表面不够光滑。而在芒果苷40 μmol/L组中,大鼠股骨髁软骨的形态和完整性几乎与正常状态无异,和假手术组的情况相近。从图中能够观察到各治疗组的软骨面比较完整,股骨髁间窝前交叉韧带的断端被增生的软骨或者纤维组织所覆盖,然而假手术组却残留着新鲜切断的前交叉韧带残。"
2.2.4 Micro CT 结果 治疗完毕后,为了深入探究不同组别的SD大鼠软骨退变状况,在此次研究中运用 Micro CT 扫描仪对大鼠的膝关节进行了CT扫描,并进一步完成了三维重建工作,具有代表性的成像结果如图12所示。术后4周,接受前交叉韧带切断术的模型对照组大鼠膝关节呈现典型骨关节炎特征,股骨内、外侧关节表面粗糙不规则。相较而言,假手术组与芒果苷40 μmol/L组的关节面平整光滑,无显著异常。芒果苷20 μmol/L组的股骨内侧区软骨表面存在损伤,不过损伤程度低于模型对照组,处于假手术组和模型对照组之间。断层及三维重建图像与大体观察结果高度一致,有力验证了芒果苷治疗骨关节炎的积极疗效,显示其在改善关节软骨退变、减轻症状上的效果突出。"
