Tenuigenin (TEN), the main active component of Polygala tenuifolia, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of TEN on IL-1β-stimulated osteoarthritis chondrocytes have not been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanism of TEN on IL-1β-stimulated human osteoarthritis chondrocytes. Human osteoarthritis chondrocytes were pretreated with or without TEN for 1 h and then stimulated with IL-1β. The production of NO and PGE2 were detected by the Griess reagent and ELISA. The expression of NF-κB and MAPKs (p38, JNK, ERK) were measured by Western blot analysis. The production of MMP-1, MMP3, and MMP13 were measured by ELISA. The results showed that treatment of TEN significantly inhibited IL-1β-induced NO and PGE2 production. TEN also suppressed IL-1β-induced MMP-1, MMP3, and MMP13 expression. Furthermore, TEN was found to inhibit IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation, PI3K, and AKT phosphorylation. In conclusion, these results suggest that TEN inhibits IL-1β-induced inflammation in human osteoarthritis chondrocytes by inhibiting PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway.
远志皂苷元(TEN)是远志的主要活性成分,据报道具有抗炎作用。然而,TEN对白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)刺激的骨关节炎软骨细胞的影响尚未见报道。本研究的目的是探讨TEN对IL-1β刺激的人骨关节炎软骨细胞的抗炎作用及其机制。将人骨关节炎软骨细胞在有或无TEN的情况下预处理1小时,然后用IL-1β刺激。采用Griess试剂和酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测一氧化氮(NO)和前列腺素E2(PGE2)的产生。通过蛋白质免疫印迹分析检测核因子κB(NF-κB)和丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPKs,包括p38、c-Jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)、细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK))的表达。采用ELISA检测基质金属蛋白酶-1(MMP-1)、基质金属蛋白酶-3(MMP3)和基质金属蛋白酶-13(MMP13)的产生。结果表明,TEN处理可显著抑制IL-1β诱导的NO和PGE2产生。TEN还可抑制IL-1β诱导的MMP-1、MMP3和MMP13表达。此外,发现TEN可抑制IL-1β诱导的NF-κB活化、磷脂酰肌醇-3激酶(PI3K)和蛋白激酶B(AKT)磷酸化。总之,这些结果表明,TEN通过抑制PI3K/AKT/NF-κB信号通路抑制IL-1β诱导的人骨关节炎软骨细胞炎症。
