目的:探讨独活寄生汤含药血清对大鼠退变软骨细胞Bcl-2、Bax表达的影响。方法:建立体外退变软骨细胞模型,分别给予独活寄生汤含药血清(含药血清组)和空白血清(空白血清组)干预24 h、48 h、72 h,收集软骨细胞,运用RT-PCR法检测血清干预后退变软骨细胞Bcl-2、Bax m RNA表达,Western Blot法检测血清干预后退变软骨细胞Bcl-2、Bax蛋白表达。结果:独活寄生汤含药血清对Bcl-2和Bax蛋白表达的影响与其对Bcl-2和Bax m RNA的影响具有相同的趋势,随着干预时间的延长,空白血清组和含药血清组Bcl-2蛋白阳性表达率均逐渐升高,含药血清组升高更显著;Bax蛋白阳性表达率逐渐降低,含药血清组降低更明显,且各时点之间比较,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.01)。结论:独活寄生汤能通过上调大鼠骨关节炎软骨细胞抑制凋亡因子Bcl-2表达,下调促凋亡因子Bax表达,抑制线粒体凋亡通路的激活,从而有效抑制软骨细胞凋亡。
Objective:To observe the effects of serum medicated with Duhuo Jisheng Decoction on the expression of the degenerated cartilage cells Bcl-2 and Bax in rats.Methods:The degenerated cartilage cell models in vitro were established,which were intervened by the serum medicated with Duhuo Jisheng Decoction(the medicated serum group)and the blank serum(the blank serum group)for 24 h,48 h and 72 h,collecting chondrocytes.The RT-PCR method was used to detect the expression of degenerated cartilage cells Bcl-2 and Bax m RNA after serum intervention.The Western Blot method was used to detect the expression of degenerated cartilage cells Bcl-2 and Bax protein after serum intervention.Results:The effects of the serum medicated with Duhuo Jisheng Decoction on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein had the same tendency as on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax m RNA,.along with the extension of time,the positive expression rate of Bcl-2 protein in the two groups gradually increased,the medicated serum group being more significant than the blank serum group;while the positive expression rate of Bax protein in the two groups gradually decreased,the medicated serum group being more significant.The difference between each time point was statistically significant(P〈0.01).Conclusion:Duhuo Jisheng Decoction can inhibit the activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway by up-regulating the expression of rat osteoarthritis cartilage cells Bcl-2 anddown-regulating the expression of Bax,thus effectively inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis.
