Effect of siRNA interference on nerve growth factor in intervertebral disc inflammation rats

Objective:To investigate the inhibition effect of siRNA interference on NGF induced by inflammatory factor IL-6,and JUL—1 so as to provide novel targets for clinical treatment of discogenic low back pain.Methods:The intervertebral disc nucleus and annulus fibrosus cells of rats were separated-The cells were co-cultured with different concentrations(10 nmol/L,20nmol/L,50 nmol/L,100 nmol/L)of IL-6 and IL-1β.The NGF-siRNA was leaded into the cocultured cells with its import ability assessed by flow cytometry instrument tests,hefore and after which the NCF mRNA expression was detected by real-time Q-PCR and the NGF content was detected by ELISA.Results:Flow cytometry instrument test results showed that the NGFsiRNA cell conversion rate was 99.8%.Real-time Q-PCR detection results showed that compared with negative control group,the NGF mRNA expression of co-cultured cells treated by 10 nmol/L,20 nmol/L,50 nmol/L,100 nmol/L IL-6 and IL-1βwere respectively raised 3.4,3.7,4.7,3.7 times which were all significantly down-regulated after the import of NGF-siRNA.EILSA detection results showed that compared with negative control group,the NGF content of cocultured medium treated by 10 nmol/L,20 nmol/L,50 nmol/L,100 nmol/L I-L6 and IL-1βwere respectively raised 2.9,3.3,4.5,7.4 times which were all significantly decreased after the import of NGF-siRNA.Conclusions:These molecular biological results suggest that inflammatory factor IL-6 and IL-1βcould stimulate NCF on intervertebral disc cells in vitro culture model and its efficiency is concentration dependent,while siRNA interference can inhibit the stimulation effect of IL-6 and IL-1βon intervertebral disc cell,which provides a new targets for the clinical treatment of discogenic low back pain.
