  • 摘要: 目的:探讨骨化三醇〔1, 25(OH)2D3〕对创伤性骨关节炎(PTOA)大鼠膝关节软骨的保护作用及其分子机制。方法:构建PTOA 大鼠模型。将20 只SD 大鼠随机分为对照组、假手术组、PTOA 组和1, 25(OH)2D3组,每组5 只。采用免疫组织化学(IHC)染色法检测膝关节软骨IL-10 受体(IL-10R)和基质金属蛋白酶-13(MMP-13)的表达,番红O 染色法测定大鼠胫骨关节头软骨的损伤程度。分离大鼠骨髓干细胞(BMSCs),将细胞分为未分化组、分化组、1, 25(OH)2D3干预组和1, 25(OH)2D3+IL-10R 抗体组。采用荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)法检测细胞中MMP-13和胶原蛋白10a1(Col10a1)mRNA 表达,western blotting法检测磷酸化(p)-JAK、JAK、转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)、SOX9、Smad2 和Runx2 蛋白表达,TUNEL 染色法检测细胞凋亡率。结果:IHC 染色显示,与对照组相比,PTOA 组IL-10R 表达水平降低,MMP-13 表达水平升高(均P< 0.05);与PTOA 组相比,1, 25(OH)2D3组IL-10R 表达水平升高,MMP-13 表达水平降低(均P< 0.05)。番红O 染色结果显示,PTOA 组软骨层厚度低于对照组(P< 0.05),1, 25(OH)2D3组软骨层厚度高于PTOA 组(均P< 0.05)。与分化组相比,1, 25(OH)2D3干预组细胞MMP-13 mRNA相对表达水平降低,Col10a1 mRNA相对表达水平及p-JAK、TGF-β1、SOX9、Smad2和Runx2蛋白表达水平升高(均P< 0.05),TUNEL 阳性细胞率降低(P< 0.05)。与1, 25(OH)2D3干预组比较,1, 25(OH)2D3+IL-10R 抗体组细胞部分逆转了上述指标(P< 0.05)。结论:1, 25(OH)2D3可能通过上调膝关节软骨IL-10R表达,抑制软骨细胞凋亡,从而发挥保护PTOA大鼠膝关节软骨的作用。

     

    Abstract: Objective: To investigate the protective effect and molecular mechanism of calcitriol 1, 25(OH)2D3on knee articular cartilage in rats with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).Methods: The PTOA rat model was established.Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into control group, sham operation group, PTOA group and 1, 25(OH)2D3 group, with 5 rats in each group.Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of IL-10 receptor(IL-10R)and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13)in knee articular cartilage.Safranin O stain-ing method was used to determine the degree of knee articular cartilage injury.Rat bone marrow stem cells(BM-SCs) were isolated and divided into undifferentiation group, differentiation group, 1, 25(OH)2D3 intervention group and 1, 25(OH)2D3+IL-10R antibody group.The expression of MMP-13 and collagen 10a1 (Col10a1)mRNA in cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).Western blotting was used to detect the expression of phospho (p)-JAK, JAK, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), SOX9, Smad2 and Runx2 and the apoptosis rate was detected by TUNEL assay.Results: IHC staining results showed that compared with the control group, the expression level of IL-10R decreased and the expression level of MMP-13 increased in the PTOA group (both P< 0.05).Compared with the PTOA group, the expression level of IL-10R increased and the expression level MMP-13 decreased in the 1, 25(OH)2D3 group (both P< 0.05).Safranin O staining results showed that the thickness of cartilage layer in the PTOA group was lower than that in the control group (P< 0.05), and the thickness of cartilage layer in the 1, 25(OH)2D3 group was higher than that in the PTOA group (both P< 0.05).Compared with the differentiation group, the relative expression level of MMP-13 mRNA in the 1, 25(OH)2D3 intervention group decreased, and the relative expression level of Col10a1 mRNA and the pro-tein expression levels of p-JAK, TGF-β1, SOX9, Smad2 and Runx2 increased (all P< 0.05).The rate of TUNEL positive cells decreased(P< 0.05).Compared with the 1, 25(OH)2D3 intervention group, 1, 25(OH)2D3+IL-10R an-tibody group cells partially reversed the above indicators (P< 0.05).Conclusion: The 1, 25(OH)2D3 may play a protective role in knee articular cartilage of rats with PTOA by up-regulating the expression of IL-10R in knee ar-ticular cartilage and inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis.
