Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) on generating chemokines in rat articular chondrocytes cultured in vitro ,and to understand its role in the pathogenesis of OA .Methods :Rat articular chondrocytes were cultured in vitro .The cells of experimental group were induced by 250 ng/mL TWEAK ,while the cells of the control group were not .Levels of chemokines interleukin-8(IL-8) ,monocyte chemotactic protein 1(MCP-1) ,regu-lated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted factor (RANTES) ,macrophage inflammatory protein 2(MIP-2) in the nutrient solution of the two groups were detected at 24 ,48 and 72 h .Results:After the induction of TWEAK ,the levels of RANTES in the supernatant of rat articular chondrocytes at 24 ,48 and 72 h were all significantly higher than those in the con-trol groups ,respectively (all P<0 .05) ,and the contents of RANTES were positively correlated with the treatment time of TWEAK (P<0 .05) .The IL-8 and MCP-1 levels in the supernatant of rat articular chondrocytes at 48 and 72 h were signifi-cantly higher than those in the control groups (both P< 0 .05) ,but they had no correlations with the treatment time of TWEAK (P>0 .05) .The MIP-2 levels of the rat articular chondrocytes supernatant at 48 and 72 h were significantly lower than those in the control groups (P<0 .05) ,and the contents of MIP2 were positively correlated with the treatment time of TWEAK (P<0 .05) .Conclusions :TWEAK can induce rat chondrocytes in vitro to generate chemokines (IL-8 ,MCP-1 ,RAN-T ES ) ,so that it is involved in the occurance of OA .
