To observe effect of oral scorpio and scolopendra powder on T-cell subsets in peripheral blood and intestine from rats with collagen induced arthritis (CIA).
60 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal control group, model control group, low-dose scorpio and scolopendra group, middle-dose scorpio and scolopendra group, high-dose scorpio and scolopendra group, and type II collagen group. Rat's rheumatoid arthritis was induced by collagen II (C II). Level of T-cell subsets from peripheral blood and intestine was measured by flow cytometry.
CD4+ T cellular level was obviously increased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) or kept increased tendency in peripheral blood and intestine from the model group compared with that of the normal group, while the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in intestine was obviously descent but the contrary in peripheral blood (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). CD4+, CD8+ T cellular level in intestine were obviously descent and the ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ increased in all treated groups when compared with in the model group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). However, CD4+ T cellular level and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood were remarkablely decreased.
The mechanism that scorpio and scolopendra could treat rat's rheumatoid arthritis may be regulating balance of T-lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood and intestine.
观察口服全蝎蜈蚣粉对胶原诱导性关节炎(CIA)大鼠外周血及肠道T细胞亚群的影响。
将60只大鼠随机分为6组:正常对照组、模型对照组、低剂量全蝎蜈蚣组、中剂量全蝎蜈蚣组、高剂量全蝎蜈蚣组和Ⅱ型胶原组。用Ⅱ型胶原(CⅡ)诱导大鼠类风湿性关节炎。采用流式细胞术检测外周血及肠道T细胞亚群水平。
与正常组相比,模型组外周血及肠道中CD4+ T细胞水平明显升高(P<0.05或P<0.01)或呈升高趋势,而肠道中CD4+/CD8+比值明显下降,外周血中则相反(P<0.05或P<0.01)。与模型组相比,各治疗组肠道中CD4+、CD8+ T细胞水平明显下降,CD4+/CD8+比值升高(P<0.05或P<0.01)。然而,外周血中CD4+ T细胞水平及CD4+/CD8+比值显著降低。
全蝎蜈蚣治疗大鼠类风湿性关节炎的机制可能是调节外周血及肠道T淋巴细胞亚群的平衡。
