摘要
目的利用肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)诱导的人类风湿性关节炎成纤维滑膜细胞(MH7A)对细胞因子分泌的影响来探讨类叶牡丹提取物(Caulophyllum robustum Maxim Extract,CRME)抗类风湿性关节炎(RA)的分子机制。方法采用噻唑蓝(MTT)法检测CRME对MH7A细胞活力的影响,选取半数抑制浓度(IC_(50))以下的药物浓度作为干预剂量;ELISA法检测CRME(50,100,500μg·mL~(-1))剂量对TNF-α(20 ng·mL~(-1))诱导MH7A细胞释放白介素-6(IL-6)、白介素-4(IL-4)、血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)、核因子κB受体活化因子配体(RANKL)、促凋亡因子Bax、Fas L和抗凋亡因子Bcl-2的影响。结果 CRME在质量浓度为50μg·mL~(-1)~500μg·mL~(-1)对细胞活力均无影响,IC_(50)值为645.32μg·mL~(-1)。与空白组比较,模型组细胞上清中IL-4、IL-6、VEGF、RANKL、Bax、Bcl-2和Fas L含量均显著提高(P<0.05,P<0.01)。与模型组比较,CRME各剂量组均能降低IL-6水平及升高IL-4水平(P<0.01);CRME 100,500μg·mL~(-1)剂量组能明显降低VEGF的表达(P<0.05),且具有浓度依赖性;CRME 500μg·mL~(-1)剂量组能明显降低RANKL含量(P<0.01);CRME 100μg·mL~(-1)剂量组可促进Fas L的表达(P<0.01);CRME 50μg·mL~(-1)剂量组可降低Bcl-2的表达(P<0.05);CRME各剂量组均可促进Bax的表达(P<0.01)。结论减轻炎症、降低血管翳形成、增加骨保护,促进异常增生的滑膜细胞的凋亡可能是CRME抗类风湿性疾病的机理之一。
Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of anti-rheumatoid arthritis(RA) of Caulophyllum robustum Maxim Extract(CRME) by studying its effect on the secretion of cytokines in human rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast synovial cells(MH7A) induced by tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Methods The effect of CRME on the viability of MH7A was detected by Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay and the drug concentration below the half inhibitory concentration(IC_(50)) value was chosen as the intervention dose. Contents of interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-4(IL-4),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand(RANKL), pro-apoptotic factor(Bax, Fas L) and anti-apoptotic factor(Bcl-2) in MH7A cells stimulated by TNF-α(20 ng·mL~(-1)) with CRME(50,100,500 μg·mL~(-1)) intervention were measured by ELISA.Results CRME showed no significant effect on the cell viability in MH7A cells at doses range from 50 to 500μg·m L~(-1). IC_(50) of CRME to MH7A cells was 645.32 μg · mL~(-1). Compared with the blank group,the contents of IL-4,IL-6,VEGF,RANKL,Bax,Bcl-2 and Fas L in the cell supernatant of the model group were significantly increased(P < 0.05,P < 0.01). Compared with the model group,each dose group of CRME reduced the level of IL-6 and increase the level of IL-4(P < 0.01);CRME decreased the expression of VEGF significantly(P <0.05) at the concentration of 100,500 μg · mL~(-1) in a dose-dependent manner. The content of RANKL in CRME500 μg · mL~(-1) dose group was significantly decreased(P < 0.01). Expression of Fas L was promoted in the CRME100 μg · mL~(-1) dose group(P < 0.01);expression of Bcl-2 was reduced in the CRME 50 μg · mL~(-1) dose group(P < 0.05). All doses of CRME promoted the expression of Bax(P < 0.01). Conclusion One of the mechanisms that CRME against rheumatoid diseases may be through suppressing inflammation and angiogenesis,increasing bone protection and promoting apoptosis of abnormal proliferating synovial cells.
