摘要
目的研究兔前交叉韧带横断术(ACLT)创伤性骨关节炎(OA)动态模型软骨中MMP-1、MMP-9mRNA的表达,探讨MMP01、MMP-9在OA软骨退变中的作用。方法30只新西兰兔随机分为对照组(10只)、ACLT组(20只),ACLT组行右膝ACLT,对照组行关节囊切开缝合术,ACLT组于术后4、8w各处死10只,对照组术后4w处死。解剖显微镜观察股骨内髁软骨形态学变化,逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PcR)检测股骨内髁软骨MMP.1、MMP-9mRNA的表达。结果形态学示ACLT组软骨退变重于对照组(P〈0.05),且ACLT8W组重于4W组(P〈0.05);RT-PCR示ACLT组MMP.1、MMP.9mRNA表达量均高于对照组(P〈0.01),且ACLT8W组均高于4W组(P〈0.01)。结论创伤性OA软骨退变过程中伴随着MMP-1、MMP.9mRNA表达的上调,软骨中MMP-1、MMP.9mRNA的表达一定程度上反映了OA软骨的退变程度。
Objective To observe the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1,-9 (MMP-1,MMP-9) in cartilage of traumatic osteoarthritis (OA) in anterior cruciate ligament transaction (ACLT) of rabbit model and to explore the effects of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in Cartilage degeneration of OA. Methods Traumatic OA was induced in 20 rabbits by ACLT of right knee and 10 rabbits killed 4 and 8 weeks respectively after the operation. Other 10 rabbits received right knee arthrotomy as pseudo operative controls and were killed 8 weeks after operation. Cartilagineus changes of the medil femoral condyles were grossly checked and OA severity observed under dissecting microscope. The mRNA expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in cartilage of the medil femoral condyles was assessed by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Results Cartilage degeneration in ACLT group was significantly severer than that in control group (P 〈 0.05 ). Cartilage degeneration in 8-week group was also severer than that in 4-week group ( P 〈 0.05). The expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 mRNA in ACLT group was significantly higher than those in control group ( P 〈 0.01). The mRNA expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in 8- week group was also higher than those in d-week group ( P 〈 0.01 ). Conclusions The expression of MMP- 1 and MMP-9 mRNA was up-regulation in cartilage of traumatic OA model. To some extent the mRNA expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 can be as an evaluation index for the degree of Cartilage degeneration in traumatic OA.
