Research on Mechanism of Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimu Tang in Treatment of Gouty Arthritis Based on Toll-MyD88 Signaling Pathway
Objective: To investigate the effect of Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimu Tang (GT) on inflammatory signal expression of Toll-MyD88 in synovial tissues of joint of rats with monosodium urate crystal-induced gouty arthritis (GA). Method: Totally 180 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 experiments
namely IHC
ELISA and Western blot experiments
with 60 rats in each experiment. In each experiment
60 rats were included and divided into 6 groups
namely model group
normal group
high
medium and low-dose GD group (4
8
16 mg·kg-1) and colchicine group (3×10-4 g·kg-1)
with 10 rats in each group according to weight. All of experimental groups were treated with medicine through gastric administration
normal and model groups were given equal volume of distilled water. Medicine or distilled water was given once daily for consecutively seven days throughout the experiments. On the fifth day
GA model was induced through injection with monosodium urate in the ankle joint cavity of rats. The synovial tissues of the rats were taken
expressions of Toll like receptor-2
4 in synovial tissues of the joint of rats were detected with immunohistochemistry
IA was measured with Image-Pro Plus 6.0 analysis system. ELISA was used to determine expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1).The expression levels of Myeloid differentiation factor-88 (MyD88)
nuclear factor enzyme inhibitor (IκK-β)
nuclear factor κB inhibitory protein (IκB-α) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) were detected by Western blot. Result: Compared with normal group after 72 hours
average IA of TLR-2
TLR-4 and the expression level of MyD88
IκK-β
COX-2 in synovial tissues of the GA rats significantly increased; compared with normal group
average IA of TLR-2
TLR-4 and the expression level of MyD88
IκK-β
COX-2 significantly decreased in medium and high-dose GT groups (P<0.05)
whereas TGF-β1
IκB-α and PPAR-γ protein expressions significantly increased (P<0.05)
with no significant change in IκK-β in all GT groups. Conclusion: The action mechanism of GT on gouty arthritis in rats may be related to decreases in the expression levels of TLR-2
TLR-4 and MyD88 protein expressions
and increases in the expression of PPAR-γ and IκB-α
and inhibition of the activation of NF-κB
and reduction of the expression of inflammatory factors in Toll-MyD88 signaling pathway.
