Mechanism of Flemiphilippinin D Regulating Inflammatory Response in CIA Rats Through TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway
To observe the effect of Flemiphilippinin D on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats and explore its mechanism.
Method
2
Forty rats were randomly divided into normal group, CIA group, methotrexate (MTX) group (1.35 mg·kg
-1
), low-dose Flemiphilippinin D group (1.5 mg·kg
-1
), and high-dose Flemiphilippinin D group (3.0 mg·kg
-1
), with eight rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the CIA model was induced by type Ⅱ collagen. Each group was given corresponding liquid medicine or normal saline, once a week in the MTX group, and once a day in the Flemiphilippinin D groups for a total of 28 days. The arthritis score and joint swelling degree of rats were experimentally recorded. Pathological changes in the ankle joint of rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1
β
, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-
α
were detected by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA), and the mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), and nuclear transcription factor-
κ
B (NF-
κ
B) p65 were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and the protein expressions of TLR2, MyD88, and NF-
κ
B p65 were detected by Western blot.
Result
2
Compared with the normal group, the ankle joint of the CIA group was significantly swollen, and the clinical score of arthritis and the degree of joint swelling were significantly increased (
P
<
0.01). The ankle joint tissue structure was significantly damaged, and the levels of inflammatory factors IL-1
β
, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-
α
in serum were significantly increased (
P
<
0.01). The mRNA levels and protein levels of TLR2, MyD88, and NF-
κ
B p65 were significantly increased(
P
<
0.01). Compared with the CIA group, arthritis clinical score and joint swelling of rats in each administration group were significantly reduced (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01), and the pathological changes in the ankle joint were significantly improved. The contents of serum IL-1
β
, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-
α
were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). The mRNA levels and protein levels of TLR2, MyD88, and NF-
κ
B p65 in the ankle joint were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
To a certain extent, Flemiphilippinin D can reduce the expression of inflammatory factors in rheumatoid arthritis rats and play a good therapeutic effect. It works perhaps by inhibiting the activation of the TLR2/MyD88/NF-
κ
B signaling pathway and thus shows an anti-inflammatory effect.
