摘要: |
目的 探讨补肾活血方(Bushen Huoxue Formula, BSHXF)通过c-Jun氨基末端激酶(c-Jun N-terminal kinase, JNK)信号通路对大鼠骨关节炎(Osteoarthritis, OA)软骨细胞凋亡的影响。方法 采用白细胞介素-1β (interleukin-1β, IL-1β)诱导体外分离培养的大鼠软骨细胞构建体外OA模型,并使用不同浓度的BSHXF干预处理。使用MTT法测定细胞活力;CCK-8法检测细胞增殖能力;流式细胞术评估细胞凋亡情况;Western bolt检测凋亡相关蛋白裂解的胱天蛋白酶-3(Cleaved Caspase-3)、B淋巴细胞瘤-2(B-cell lymphoma 2, Bcl-2)、Bcl-2相关X蛋白(Bcl-2-associated X protein, Bax)水平和JNK、磷酸化c-Jun 氨基末端激酶(phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase, p-JNK)蛋白水平。试剂盒检测细胞中活性氧(reactive oxygen species, ROS)、丙二醛(malondialdehyde, MDA)、谷胱甘肽(Glutathione, GSH)水平;ELISA法检测细胞上清液中促炎因子肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α, TNF-α)、白细胞介素-6(interleukin-6, IL-6)含量。结果 (1)与对照组相比,模型组软骨细胞活力显著降低,细胞凋亡率显著升高(P<0.01);模型组Cleaved Caspase-3、Bax、p-JNK蛋白表达水平显著升高(P<0.01),Bcl-2蛋白表达水平显著降低(P<0.01)。与模型组相比,BSHXF治疗组软骨细胞活力升高(P<0.05),凋亡率显著降低(P<0.01);BSHXF治疗组Cleaved Caspase-3、Bax、p-JNK蛋白表达水平显著降低(P<0.01),Bcl-2蛋白表达水平升高(P<0.01)。(2)与对照组相比,模型组细胞中ROS和MDA的相对含量显著升高(P<0.01),GSH的相对含量显著降低(P<0.01);模型组细胞中TNF-α和IL-6的含量均显著升高(P<0.01)。与模型组相比,BSHXF治疗组细胞中ROS和MDA的相对含量显著降低(P<0.01),GSH的相对含量显著升高(P<0.01);BSHXF治疗组细胞中TNF-α和IL-6的含量均显著降低(P<0.01)。(3)与溶剂对照组相比,激活剂对照组的p-JNK、Cleaved Caspase-3、Bax蛋白水平显著上调(P<0.05),Bcl-2蛋白表达水平显著降低(P<0.01),细胞增殖能力下降(P<0.05),细胞凋亡率显著增加(P<0.01);BSHXF治疗组和溶剂对照组两组间细胞增殖、凋亡率和凋亡相关蛋白表达(Cleaved Caspase-3、Bax、Bcl-2)情况差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。(4)与溶剂对照组相比,激活剂对照组的ROS和MDA水平显著升高(P<0.01),而GSH水平显著降低(P<0.01),TNF-α、IL-6含量升高(P<0.05);BSHXF治疗组和溶剂对照组两组间ROS相对含量、MDA、GSH水平差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论 BSHXF通过抑制JNK信号通路激活抑制IL-1β诱导的OA软骨细胞凋亡,改善氧化应激和炎症反应。 |

Abstract: |
Objective To investigate the effects of Bushen Huoxue Formula (BSHXF) on chondrocyte apoptosis in rats with osteoarthritis (OA) through the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. Methods An in vitro OA model was constructed using interleukin-1β (IL-1β) to induce apoptosis in rat chondrocytes cultured ex vivo. Different concentrations of BSHXF were used for intervention. Cell viability was determined using MTT assay; CCK-8 assay was used to examine cell proliferation ability; flow cytometry was employed to assess cell apoptosis; Western blot was used to check the levels of apoptosis-related proteins, including cleaved cysteine protease-3 (Cleaved Caspase-3), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), as well as the levels of JNK and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) proteins. The reagent kit was used to measure the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH) in cells; ELISA was used to check the content of pro-inflammatory factor of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6 in the cell supernatant. Results (1) Compared with the control group, the model group showed a significant decrease in chondrocyte viability and a significant increase in cell apoptosis rate (P<0.01); the protein expression levels of Cleaved Caspase-3, Bax, and p-JNK in the model group significantly increased (P<0.01), while the expression of Bcl-2 significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the BSHXF treatment group showed an increase in chondrocyte viability (P<0.05) and a significant decrease in apoptosis rate (P<0.01); the protein expression levels of Cleaved Caspase-3, Bax, and p-JNK were significantly reduced (P<0.01) and the protein expression level of Bcl-2 increased (P<0.01) in the BSHXF treatment group. (2) Compared with the control group, the relative content of ROS and MDA in the model group cells significantly increased (P<0.01), while the relative content of GSH significantly decreased (P<0.01); the content of TNF-α and IL-6 in the model group cells significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the BSHXF treatment group showed a significant decrease in the relative content of ROS and MDA (P<0.01) and a significant increase in the relative content of GSH (P<0.01); the content of TNF-α and IL-6 in cells treated with BSHXF was significantly reduced (P<0.01). (3) Compared with the solvent control group, the activator control group showed a significant upregulation of p-JNK, Cleaved Caspase-3, and Bax protein levels (P<0.05), a significant reduction in Bcl-2 protein expression (P<0.01), a decrease in cell proliferation ability (P<0.05), and a significant increase in cell apoptosis rate (P<0.01); there were no significant differences in cell proliferation, apoptosis rate, and expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (Cleaved Caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2) between the BSHXF treatment group and the solvent control group (P>0.05). (4) Compared with the solvent control group, the activator control group exhibited a significant increase in ROS and MDA levels (P<0.01) and a significant decrease in GSH level (P<0.01), with increased content of TNF-α and IL-6 (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in the relative content of ROS and the levels of MDA and GSH between the BSHXF treatment group and the solvent control group (P>0.05). Conclusion BSHXF inhibits IL-1β-induced apoptosis in OA chondrocytes by suppressing the activation of JNK signaling pathway, thereby relieving oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. |
