Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of Jiangu tablet on articular chondrocyte apoptosis in T-2 toxin poisoning rats. Methods According to random number table, fifty weaning male SD rats were divided into two groups by body mass, i.e., 10 for normal control group and 40 for T-2 toxin group (intragastric administration of distilled water or T-2 toxin 200 ng·g-1·d-1) for 30 days. Then the T-2 toxin group was divided into T-2 toxin group, Jiangu tablet low-dose group, middle-dose group and high-dose group treating with 3 ml of T-2 toxin 200 ng or different concentration of Jiangu tablet (contain 1.562 5, 3.125 0 and 6.250 0 g Jiangu tablet active compound). Each group had 10 rats and was given T-2 toxin or different amount of Jiangu tablet for 30 days. Then the rats were killed. The articular cartilage was removed from rats and RNA was extracted from the articular cartilage by Trizol. The mRNA expressions of p53, Bax, Bcl-2 and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase(caspase)-3 were detected by real-time PCR. Results The mRNA expressions of p53, Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 in normal control group, T-2 toxin group, Jiangu tablet low-dose group, middle-dose group and high-dose group were: 1.00 ± 0.98, 200.37 ± 30.39, 180.19 ± 28.14, 120.25 ± 15.35, 50.34 ± 10.12;1.00 ± 0.98, 185.37 ± 10.15, 152.59 ± 15.23, 108.46 ± 9.14, 57.18 ± 1.31; 1.00 ± 0.99,0.22 ± 0.03, 0.28 ± 0.06, 0.43 ± 0.08, 0.58 ± 0.04; 1.00 ± 0.97, 209.55 ± 25.64, 152.38 ± 15.46, 120.14 ± 11.52 and 49.24 ± 8.69, respectively. Compared with the normal control group, the mRNA expressions of p53, Bax and caspase-3 were up-regulated in T-2 toxin group, low-dose group, middle-dose group and high-dose group while the mRNA expression of Bc1-2 was down-regulated(all P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of p53 and caspase-3 in Jiangu tablet high-dose group and middle-dose group were significantly decreased than those in T-2 toxin group (all P<0.05). The mRNA expressions of Bcl-2 in Jiangu tablet high-dose group and middle-dose group were significantly increased than that in T-2 toxin group(all P<0.05). The mRNA expression of Bax in Jiangu tablet high-dose group was significantly decreased than that in T-2 toxin group(P<0.05). Conclusion The Jiangu tablet can significantly inhibit the apoptosis of articular chondrocyte in T-2 toxin poisoning rats.
