Effect of Total Saponins of Root on Expression of IL-15, IL-34 in Rats with Arthritis Induced by Type II Collage
Objective: To observe the effect of total saponins of Thladiantha dubia root(TSTR) on changes of interleukin-15(IL-15) and interleukin-34(IL-34) in the blood and knee synovial membrane in the treatment of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats
and explore the mechanism of TSTR in treating CIA rats. Method: The 80 male Wistar rats were selected
and ten of them were randomly taken as normal control group. The remaining rats were injected with the mixed emulsion of bovine type II collagen and complete Freund's adjuvant in multiple points on back and tail root. After 7 days
it was carried out with the same operation.Fourteen days after the first injection
those with arthritis index (AI value)≧4 points were identified as successful modeling. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group
TSTR low
medium and high dose groups(20
40
80 mg·kg-1) and tripterygium glycoside(TG
12 mg·kg-1) positive drug group. Rats in each group received corresponding drugs for 35 days by intragastric administration
1 time/day. Then the paw swelling in rats was observed and AI values were evaluated; the morphological changes of synovium were observed with htoxylin eosin(HE) staining; the levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA); Western blot and reverse transcriptase PCR(RT-PCR) were used respectively to measure the protein and mRNA expression levels of IL-15
IL-34 in synovium. Result: As compared with the normal group
AI value was increased in the model group (P<0.01); the number of inflammatory cells in synovial cells was increased
and the levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in serum and synovial tissues were significantly increased (P<0.01). As compared with the model group
AI value was significantly decreased in each dose TSTR groups and TG positive group(P<0.01)
and the inflammatory cells number and vascular quantity in the synovial membrane were significantly decreased in TSTR low dose group and the positive drug group (P<0.05
P<0.01); the expression levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in the serum and the expression levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in the synovial membrane were significantly decreased in the low-dose TSTR group and the TG positive group (P<0.05
P<0.01). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of TSTR on CIA rats may be related to the inhibition of IL-15 and IL-34 expression in blood and synovium.
