摘要: 目的 明确葫芦素B对白细胞介素(IL)-1β诱导的软骨细胞损伤及胞外基质代谢紊乱的影响。方法 用 不同浓度(0.5、1、5、10、20 µmol/L)的葫芦素B处理小鼠软骨细胞,随后用IL-1β(10 µg/L)处理。采用CCK-8法检测 细胞活性,试剂盒检测乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)及Caspase-3的活性,确定葫芦素B最佳处理浓度。采用流式细胞术检测细 胞凋亡情况;qRT-PCR检测细胞胞外基质代谢相关的Ⅱ型胶原(CollagenⅡ)及蛋白多糖aggrecan、基质金属蛋白酶 (MMP)-3及MMP-13的mRNA水平;酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测MMP-3、MMP-13、前列腺素E2(PGE2)的水 平,同时检测一氧化氮(NO)的产生;采用Western blot分析葫芦素B对IL-1β介导的软骨细胞中核因子(NF)-κB信号 通路活化的影响。结果 葫芦素B剂量依赖性地减弱IL-1β对软骨细胞存活的抑制效应(P<0.05),同时抑制IL-1β 诱导的LDH释放、细胞凋亡及Caspase-3活性(P<0.05),10 µmol/L是其最佳实验剂量。与IL-1β处理组相比,葫芦 素B处理可减缓IL-1β对CollagenⅡ、aggrecan的mRNA表达抑制效应(P<0.05)。此外,葫芦素B还可抑制IL-1β诱 导的MMP-3及MMP-13的mRNA表达及释放(P<0.05),降低炎性介质NO、PGE2的产生(P<0.05)。同时,IL-1β可 明显上调软骨细胞中p-IκB、p-p65 NF-κB的表达,而葫芦素B则可抑制上述分子的表达(P<0.05)。结论 葫芦素 B可能通过阻断NF-κB信号通路的激活抑制IL-1β诱导的软骨细胞损伤及代谢紊乱,提示其具有潜在的抗骨关节炎 的功效。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the function of cucurbitacin B (CuB) in cell injury and metabolism dysfunction in
chondrocytes upon interleukin (IL)-1β conditions. Methods Mouse chondrocytes were pre-treated with various doses of
CuB (0.5,1,5,10 and 20 µmol/L), prior to expose to IL-1β (10 µg/L). Cell viability was then determined by CCK-8 assay.
The commercial kits were used to detect lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Caspase-3 activity. The cell apoptosis was
evaluated by flow cytometer. The mRNA levels of metabolism dysfunction-related Collagen Ⅱ , aggrecan, matrix
metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-13 were analyzed by qRT-PCR. ELISA assay was performed to measure the contents
of MMP-3, MMP-13 and PGE-2. The levels of nitrous oxide (NO) were determined by a commercial kit. Western blot assay
was conducted to investigate the effects of CuB on the activation of NF -
κB signaling in IL-
1β - treated chondrocytes
.
Results CuB dose-dependently ameliorated the suppressive roles of IL-
1β on chondrocyte viability
(P0.05).
Simultaneously, CuB suppressed IL-1β-induced LDH release, cell apoptosis and Caspase-3 activity (
P0.05). In contrast
to IL-1β - treated groups, administration with CuB antagonized the inhibitory effects of IL-
1β on the mRNA levels of
Collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan
(
P0.05). Furthermore, CuB treatment attenuated IL-1β- induced transcripts and releases of
MMP-
3 and MMP-
13 (
P
0.05), concomitant with reductions in the production of inflammatory mediator NO and PGE
2
(
P0.05
). Additionally
, IL-1β incubation enhanced the expression of p-I
κB and p-p
65 NF - κB (
P0.05), which were
reversed following CuB treatment (
P0.05). Conclusion CuB may suppress IL-
1β-induced cell injury and metabolism
dysfunction in chondrocytes by blocking the NF-
κB signaling
, implying a potential function in osteoarthritis therapy
.
