Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Rhodojaponin Ⅲ on cartilage injury in post-traumatic osteoarthritis rats and its mechanism.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group(based on cruciate ligamentectomy),low dose experimental group(after modeling,0.12 mg·kg-1 Rhodojaponin Ⅲ was given by intragastric administration),high dose experimental group(after modeling,0.24 mg·kg-1 Rhodojaponin Ⅲ was given by intragastric administration),positive drug group(2 mL/100 g glucosamine sulfate was given intragastric administration after modeling).Ten rats in each group were given continuous intragastric administration for 28 days,blood was collected from the heart,and cartilage tissue was taken from the rats.Mankin's score method was used to analyze the cartilage tissue of rats in each group,Western blot method was used to detecte the proteins level,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)test was used to detect the expression level of serum bone formation indexes and related factors in cartilage tissue,and kit method was used to detect the expression of oxidative stress related indexes.Results The Mankin's scores of sham operation group,model group,low dose experimental group,high dose experimental group and positive drug group were 0.10±0.30,5.30±0.46,4.00±0.63,3.10±0.54 and 1.50±0.81;bone gla protein(BGP)level were(10.25±0.77),(2.39±0.34),(4.87±0.27),(7.99±0.51)and(8.55±0.71)ng·mL-1;the expression levels of cleaved cysteine aspartate proteinase-3(Cl-caspase-3)protein were 0.25±0.02,0.86±0.06,0.65±0.05,0.47±0.04 and 0.33±0.03;superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity were(109.07±7.51),(60.24±5.73),(67.99±4.73),(76.16±8.84)and(80.11±3.96)U·mg-1;the protein levels of nuclear transcription factor E2 related factors(Nrf2)were 1.03±0.08,0.33±0.04,0.43±0.05,0.75±0.10 and 0.74±0.09;heme oxygen-1(HO-1)protein expression levels were 0.88±0.08,0.27±0.04,0.39±0.04,0.56±0.10 and 0.58±0.06,respectively.Model group compared with sham operation group,low dose experimental group,high dose experimental group compared with model group;low dose experimental group compared with high dose experimental group,the differences of the above indexes were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Rhodojaponin Ⅲ may inhibit oxidative stress,inflammatory response,regulate bone metabolism and improve cartilage injury in post-traumatic osteoarthritis rats by activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
