Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of IGF-1 and IL-1β on the proliferation and apoptosis of cultured human condylar chondrocytes( CCs) of temporomandibular joint( TMJ) . Methods:Cultured CCs were derived from human TMJ condylar cartilage tis-sue, and identified by immunocytochemistry staining. The cultured cells were divided into 6 groups:control group, IL-1β(10 μg/L) group and IL-1 group (10 μg/L) + IGF-1 group (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μg/L, respectively). The cell proliferation ability was de-tected by MTT assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-associated factors Bcl-2, Bax and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins were detected by Western blot. Results:Type II collagen was positively expressed in cultured CCs. IL-1β treatment decreased cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis with concomitant increase of the percentage of early apopto-sis and late apoptotic cells, increased Caspase-3 expression, decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and increased the expression of p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins. Whereas, with 1-100 μg/L IGF-1 pretreatment, the proliferation ability and Bcl-2/Bax ratio of the cells were in-creased(P<0. 05), the apoptotic cells were decreased, the expression of Caspase-3 and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins was decreased ( P<0. 05) in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:IGF-1 may inhibit IL-1β-induced cell apoptosis and attenuate the activation of p38 MAPK/NF-κB of human condylar chondrocytes.
