目的:观察雷公藤红素(Celastrol,Cel)对类风湿关节炎滑膜成纤维细胞系MH7A细胞中核因子κB受体活化因子配体(RANKL)、骨保护素(OPG)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)及白细胞介素-8(IL-8)表达的影响。方法:以白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)刺激MH7A,不同浓度的Cel(0.1、0.5、1.0、2.0μmol/L)干预细胞24 h后,采用real-time PCR和免疫荧光的方法检测RANKL、OPG、IL-6、TNF-α及IL-8的表达。结果:IL-1β刺激MH7A细胞系24 h后,RANKL、OPG、IL-6、TNF-α及IL-8mRNA及RANKL免疫荧光明显增强,Cel呈剂量依赖性抑制MH7A中IL-1β诱导的RANKL、OPG、IL-6、TNF-α及IL-8 mRNA水平(P〈0.05)和MH7A中RANKL免疫荧光表达,显著上调OPG/RANKL轴比值。结论:Cel能调节滑膜成纤维细胞中OPG/RANKL轴和抑制促炎因子、趋化因子的表达,可能在阻止类风湿关节炎"炎症"和"骨侵蚀"中发挥重要作用。
Objective:To observe the effect of Celastrol on the expressions of RANKL,OPG,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-8 in human rheumatoid synoviocyte MH7A.Methods:MH7A was stimulated with IL-1β and added in different concentration of Celastrol(0.1,0.5,1,2 μmol/L).The expressions of RANKL,OPG,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-8 in MH7A were assayed by real-time PCR and immunofluorescence.Results:The expressions of RANKL,OPG,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-8 in MH7A were significantly increased in MH7A upon stimulation with IL-1β(P〈0.05).Celastrol could inhibit the expressions of RANKL,OPG,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-8 in a dose-dependent manner and notably elevated the ratio of OPG/RANK axis.Conclusion:Celastrol could regulate the ratio of OPG/RANKL axis and suppress the inflammatory cytokines and chemokine expression in rheumatoid arthritis synovioblast,suggesting a potent role in preventing the inflammation and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis.
