Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) induces the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) implicated in cartilage and joint degradation
in osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Polyoxypregnane glycoside (PPG), active compound was identified from
Dregea volubilis extract by chemical analysis, shown to exert chondroprotective effects in cartilage explant models. However, no studies have
been undertaken for the molecular investigation of whether PPG constituents protect the human articular chondrocyte (HAC).
In the present studies, HAC was co-treated with IL-1β and PPG. The expression of MMPs, type II collagen, phosphorylation of
mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and NF-κB signaling pathway were determined by Western immunoblotting. PPG (6.25–25 μM)
decreased the IL-1β-induced HA release from chondrocyte to culture medium. The mode of action of PPG was likely mediated through
inhibiting expression of MMP-1, -3 and -13 in the medium, which was associated with the inhibition of mRNA expression. PPG
had no effect on IL-1β-induced phosphorylation of MAPK pathway. Conversely, PPG decreased phosphorylation of IκB kinase and
IκBα degradation. Taken together, these results indicate that PPG may inhibit cartilage degradation in OA and may also be
used as nutritional supplement for maintaining joint integrity and function. 相似文献

Alpinia galanga has been used as alternative medicine for anti-rheumatic activities. However, the precise action of the extract on arthritic diseases is not yet fully understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of A. galanga extracts on the expression of genes involved in catabolic activities in an interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced human synovial fibroblast as an inflammatory model. Confluent primary human synovial fibroblasts were treated for 24?h with A. galanga hexane extracts in the presence of recombinant human IL-1β. MMPs in the culture medium were monitored by gelatin zymography. Total RNA was isolated from the cell lysate and analyzed via semi-quantitative RT-PCR. After treatment with A. galanga extracts, MMP-2 activity in the culture medium was significantly reduced. In addition, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, and Cox-2 expression were downregulated. These data suggest that the decrease of gene expression and production of MMPs in synovial fibroblasts against inflammatory stimuli could be due to the effects of the A. galanga extracts. Therefore, A. galanga extracts might be a promising therapeutic agent for arthritis. 相似文献

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and affects millions of people worldwide. Patients have traditionally been treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but these are associated with significant side effects. Purification of the acetone extract of Alpinia galanga afforded p-hydroxycinnamaldehyde, as identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry analyses. By exploiting the cartilage explant culture, p-hydroxycinnamaldehyde suppressed loss of uronic acid, resulting in release of hyaluronan (HA), sulfated glycosaminoglycans (s-GAGs) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). p-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), when incubated in primary human chondrocytes, also reduced release of HA, s-GAG and MMP-2. The results demonstrated: (a) that expression levels of the catabolic genes MMP-3 and MMP-13 were suppressed and (b) mRNA expression levels of anabolic genes of collagen II, SOX9 and aggrecan were increased. This study shows that p-hydroxycinnaldehyde from A. galanga Linn. is a potential therapeutic agent for treatment of OA. 相似文献
