Anti-inflammatory Activity of Psammosilenes Radix and Total Saponins
目的:探讨金铁锁(PR)及其总皂苷(PRTS)的抗炎镇痛作用,并探讨其抗炎机制。方法:实验动物随机分为空白组(大鼠),模型组(大鼠、小鼠),阳性药组(小鼠:吲哚美辛,元胡止痛胶囊0.585 g ·kg-1),金铁锁75%乙醇提取物(PR)高、中、低剂量组(小鼠:0.651 1,0.217,0.072 35 g ·kg-1,大鼠:0.450 8,0.150 3,0.050 08 g ·kg-1),金铁锁总皂苷(PRTS)高、低剂量组(小鼠:0.233 4,0.025 94 g ·kg-1,大鼠:0.161 6,0.017 96 g ·kg-1)。采用醋酸诱导扭体实验和热板实验来评价镇痛作用;采用二甲苯诱导小鼠耳肿胀实验,脂多糖(LPS)诱导大鼠腹膜炎来评价抗炎作用,通过苏木素-伊红(HE)染色观察大鼠腹膜组织的病理变化,酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)测定血清中的炎症因子白细胞介素(IL)-6,IL-10。探寻潜在机制,通过大鼠肠系膜组织免疫组化观察肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α,IL-1β,核转录因子-κB(NF-κB)p65的表达。结果:与空白组比较,PR及PRTS各剂量组减轻小鼠耳肿胀(P<0.01),减少小鼠化学致痛扭体次数(P<0.05,P<0.01);PRTS高剂量组能提高小鼠痛阈值(P<0.05,P<0.01);与模型组比较,PR及PRTS各剂量组对急性腹膜炎大鼠腹膜组织病变有所改善,能降低炎症因子IL-6含量(P<0.01),同时降低TNF-α,IL-1β,NF-κB p65在肠系膜组织的表达,PR高剂量及PRTS高剂量组能降低IL-10含量(P<0.05)。结论:金铁锁及总皂苷具有一定的镇痛抗炎作用,其机制可能与下调炎症因子的释放与表达,抑制NF-κB信号通道有关。
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Psammosilenes Radix (PR) and PR total saponins (PRTS)
and exploreits possible mechanism of anti-inflammatory. Method: The animals were randomly divided into blank control group
model control group
positive drug group (mice:indomethacin
Yuanhu Zhitong capsule 0.585 g · kg-1)
PR high
medium and low dosegroups (mice:0.651 1
0.217
0.072 35 g · kg-1
rats:0.450 8
0.150 3
0.050 08 g · kg-1)
PRTS high and low dose groups (mice:0.233 4
0.025 94 g · kg-1
rats:0.161 6
0.017 96 g · kg-1). The analgesic effect was evaluated by acetic acid-induced writhing experiments and hot plate experiments. Xylene-induced mouse ear swelling test and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute peritonitis in rats were used to evaluate itsanti-inflammatory effect; the pathological changes of peritoneal tissue were observedby hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining; cell factor of interleukin(IL)-6
IL-10 were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α
IL-1β and nuclear factor-kappaB(NF-κB) p65 were detected by immunohistochemistry in rat mesenteric tissues. Result: As compared with the blank control group
PR and PRTS treatment groups could inhibit the mice ear swelling (P<0.01)
and obviously decrease writhing times (P<0.05
P<0.01); PRTS high dose group could remarkably improve the pain threshold of hot-plate test (P<0.01). As compared with the model group
PR and PRTS treatment groups could improve the peritoneal histopathology of acute peritonitis rats and decrease the content of IL-6 (P<0.01); the expression levels of TNF-α
IL-1β and NF-κB p65 in the mesenteric tissues were significantly decreased; and the high dose of PR and PRTS could significantly decrease the levels of IL-10 (P<0.05). Conclusion: PR and PRTS have certain analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects
and its mechanism may be related to down-regulating the expression of inflammatory factors and inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway.
