Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the destruction of articular cartilage. Tenacissoside G is a flavonoid isolated from the dry roots of Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb) and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, there is no report on the protective effects of Tenacissoside G on OA.
To identify the effects and mechanism of Tenacissoside G on OA.
In vitro, primary mouse chondrocytes were induced with IL-1β to establish OA model. mRNA expression of MMP-13, MMP-3, TNF-α, IL-6 and iNOS, was detected by PCR. Protein expression of Collagen-II, MMP-13, p65, p-p65, and IκBα was detected by Western blot. Collagen-II in chondrocytes was also detected by immunofluorescence. In vivo, we established DMM OA mice model. The preventive effect of Tenacissoside G on OA was observed by micro-CT and histological analysis.
In vitro, Tenacissoside G significantly inhibited the expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, MMP-3, MMP-13 and the degradation of collagen-II, Tenacissoside G also significantly suppressed NF-κB activation in chondrocytes by IL-1β-stimulated. In vivo, we demonstrated Tenacissoside G can decrease articular cartilage damage and reduce OARSI score.
These results suggest that Tenacissoside G may serve as a potential drug for the prevention and treatment of OA.
骨关节炎(OA)是一种退行性关节疾病,其特征是关节软骨破坏。远志糖苷 G 是从远志的干根中分离得到的一种黄酮类化合物,具有抗炎作用。然而,目前尚无远志糖苷 G 对 OA 保护作用的报道。
确定远志糖苷 G 对 OA 的作用及其机制。
在体外,用白细胞介素-1β诱导原代小鼠软骨细胞建立 OA 模型。通过 PCR 检测 MMP-13、MMP-3、TNF-α、IL-6 和 iNOS 的 mRNA 表达。通过 Western blot 检测 Collagen-II、MMP-13、p65、p-p65 和 IκBα的蛋白表达。通过免疫荧光检测软骨细胞中的 Collagen-II。在体内,建立 DMM OA 小鼠模型。通过 micro-CT 和组织学分析观察 Tenacissoside G 对 OA 的预防作用。
在体外,Tenacissoside G 显著抑制 iNOS、TNF-α、IL-6、MMP-3、MMP-13 的表达和 Collagen-II 的降解,Tenacissoside G 还显著抑制了 NF-κB 在 IL-1β刺激的软骨细胞中的激活。在体内,我们证明 Tenacissoside G 可以减少关节软骨损伤,降低 OARSI 评分。
这些结果表明,Tenacissoside G 可能作为一种潜在的 OA 预防和治疗药物。
