目的研究通痹颗粒对胶原诱导性关节炎(collagen-induced arthritis,CIA)大鼠铁调素(hepcidin,Hepc)、Janus激酶(janus kinase,JAK)2/信号转导子和转录激活子(signal transduction and activator of transcription,STAT)3信号通路的影响...目的研究通痹颗粒对胶原诱导性关节炎(collagen-induced arthritis,CIA)大鼠铁调素(hepcidin,Hepc)、Janus激酶(janus kinase,JAK)2/信号转导子和转录激活子(signal transduction and activator of transcription,STAT)3信号通路的影响。方法选取36只雌性SD大鼠随机分成空白组、模型组、阳性对照组和通痹颗粒低、中、高剂量组,每组6只。空白组不予处理,其余组用牛Ⅱ型胶原建立CIA模型。造模完成后,空白组、模型组予生理盐水灌胃,其余各组分别以巴瑞替尼片和低、中、高剂量通痹颗粒灌胃。每天1次,连续4周。HE染色行滑膜组织病理学观察;酶联免疫吸附法测定血清Hepc、白细胞介素6(interleukin 6,IL-6)水平;逆转录-聚合酶链反应法测定滑膜中JAK2、STAT3、细胞信号因子传导抑制体(suppressor of cytokine signaling,SOCS)1、SOCS3的mRNA相对表达量;Western blot法检测滑膜中JAK2、p-JAK2、STAT3、p-STAT3、SOCS1、SOCS3的蛋白表达量。结果模型组见滑膜上皮结构缺损,滑膜重度增生,排列紊乱,并有大量炎症细胞浸润和多个血管翳形成;各给药组滑膜炎症均有所减轻,阳性对照组优于通痹颗粒高剂量组,通痹颗粒中、高剂量组优于低剂量组。与模型组相比,各给药组关节炎指数评分、血清Hepc和IL-6水平均显著降低(P<0.01);与阳性对照组相比,通痹颗粒中、低剂量组关节炎指数评分、血清Hepc和IL-6水平均升高(P<0.05)。与模型组比较,阳性对照组和通痹颗粒低、中、高剂量组JAK2、STAT3 mRNA和蛋白以及p-JAK2、p-STAT3的蛋白表达量均降低(P<0.05),而通路抑制因子SOCS1、SOCS3 mRNA和蛋白的表达均升高(P<0.05);与阳性对照组比较,通痹颗粒各剂量组JAK2、STAT3 mRNA和蛋白以及p-JAK2、p-STAT3的蛋白表达量均升高(P<0.05),而SOCS1、SOCS3 mRNA和蛋白的表达均降低(P<0.05)。结论通痹颗粒能够改善CIA大鼠滑膜炎症,其机制可能与抑制JAK2/STAT3信号通路而减少Hepc的表达有关。展开更多
