Abstract:
Objective To observe the treatment of ~(99)Te-MDP on typeⅡcollagen induced arthritis (CIA)in rat,and the effect on the expression of synovial MMP-3 and TIMP-1 mRNA.To explore the mech anisms of the ~(99)Te-MDP in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods The rats in which C1A(n=24)were divided into three group:the control group(n=8),~(99)Tc-MDP group(n=8)and Methotrexate group(n=8). Arthritis were evaluated by arthritis index and histopathological index and the expressions of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 mRNA in synovium were detected by RT-PCR.Results①The arthritis indexs of the control group, the methotrexate group,the ~(99)Tc-MDP group were increased with time.②The histopathological scnres of the control group were significantly higher than those of methotrexate group and ~(99)Tc-MDP group(P＜0.01).The histopathological scores of cartilage destruction and bone erosion of ~(99)Tc-MDP group were lower than those of methotrexate group(P＜0.05).③The levels of MMP-3 mRNA of the control group,~(99)Tc-MDP group, methotrexate group were notably higher than those of the control group(P＜0.01).The levels of control group was notably higher than that of the ~(99)Tc-MDP group(P＜0.05).There was not significant difference in all groups on the levels of TIMP-1 mRNA(P＞0.05).Conclusions ~(99)Tc-MDP can notably relieve the arthritis symdrome and retard the catilage damage and bone erosion of CIA in rats,and could significantly decrease the MMP-3 mRNA in the synovium.Which may be one of the therapeutic mechanism.~(99)Tc-MDP is better than methotrexate in retarding catilage and bone erosion and decreasing MMP-3 mRNA in CIA rats in a 3-week therapeutic intervention.
