Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive joint disease associated with pain, functional impairment, and diminished quality of life in affected individuals. At a societal level, it also has a high economic burden. has been reported to have potent anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, and analgesic effects. The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic potential and possible underlying mechanism of 5-Loxin®, a standardized extract, in a rat model of OA. The OA model was established by the intra-articular injection of 50 L of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) (60 mg/mL). 5-Loxin® was administered orally, and efficacy was evaluated through serum analysis, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), histologic staining, and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Results indicated that administration of 5-Loxin® can relieve OA joint pain through inhibition of both inflammatory processes and cartilage degeneration. In the group of rats treated with 5-Loxin®, the suppression of inflammatory enzymes such as cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) resulted in a significant reduction in the prostaglandin (PG) E and leukotriene (LT) B levels. Moreover, 5-Loxin® ameliorated the deterioration of the main components of the articular extracellular matrix (ECM), such as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and aggrecan, through the downregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These findings suggest that 5-Loxin® may be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of OA.
骨关节炎(OA)是一种慢性进行性关节疾病,会给受影响个体带来疼痛、功能障碍并降低生活质量。在社会层面,它还带来高昂的经济负担。据报道,[具体物质未提及]具有强大的抗炎、抗关节炎和镇痛作用。本研究的目的是在骨关节炎大鼠模型中探索标准化提取物5-Loxin®的治疗潜力及可能的潜在机制。通过关节内注射50μL碘乙酸钠(MIA)(60mg/mL)建立骨关节炎模型。口服给予5-Loxin®,并通过血清分析、实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)、组织学染色和微计算机断层扫描(micro-CT)评估疗效。结果表明,给予5-Loxin®可通过抑制炎症过程和软骨退变来缓解骨关节炎关节疼痛。在接受5-Loxin®治疗的大鼠组中,环氧合酶(COX)-2和5-脂氧合酶(LOX)等炎症酶的抑制导致前列腺素(PG)E和白三烯(LT)B水平显著降低。此外,5-Loxin®通过下调基质金属蛋白酶(MMPs)改善了关节细胞外基质(ECM)主要成分如糖胺聚糖(GAGs)和聚集蛋白聚糖的降解。这些发现表明,5-Loxin®可能是治疗骨关节炎的一种潜在治疗药物。
