Abstract:
Objective This study is aimed to explore the effect of rhTNFR:Fc and methotrexate (MTX)-rhTN FR:Fc on joint destruction of collagen-induced arthritis ( CIA ) rat by establishing CIA rat model which imitates pathogenic factors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods CIA rat model were developed by subcutaneous injection of bovine type Ⅱ collagen.The rats with inflammation scores of two or above were randomly divided into four groups:the sterilized water treatment group (0.4 ml/w,intra-peritoneal injection),the MTX treatment group (1 mg/w,intra-peritoneal injection),the rhTNFR:Fc treatment group(0.8 mg Biw,intra-peritoneal injection),the MTX + rhTNFR:Fc treatment group (MTX 1 mg/w and rhTNFR:Fc 0.8 mg Biw,intraperitoneal injection).After treatment for 8 weeks,the rats were sacrificed and took the ankle radiography.Micro-CT scan of proximal tibia was performed and hard-tissue slices were made,and then the ankle's bone damage of each group was observed in order to evaluate trabecular variation and bone quantity changes of proximal tibia.Statisstical analysis was conducted with ANK-q test.Results After treatment for 8 weeks,the percentage of trabecular area and the trabecular number of the rhTNFR:Fc treatment group and the MTX-rhTNFR:Fc treatment were [(29.1±0.3)％,(26.7±0.6)％,(4.4±0.5)/mm,(4.0±0.6)/mm] (P＜0.01),which were evidently higher than the sterilized water treatment group and MTX treatment group (P＜0.01).The trabecular separation of Etanercept treatment group and MTX-rhTNFR:Fc group was obviously less than the sterilized water treatment group and MTX treatment group [(12.9±0.5)％,(13.2±0.4)％ vs (2.0±0.3)/mm,(2.2t0.2)/mm] (P＜0.01).Conclusion rhTNFR:Fc and MTX-rhTNFR:Fc can remarkably inhibit joint destruction of CIA rat.And their effect on inhibiting of inflammation and increasing peri-articular bone quantity.In addition,they are effective on inhibiting the reduction of local trabecular structure and increase of trabecular separation.
