熊果苷,天然可溶的糖基化苯酚具有抗氧化剂,抗菌,抗肿瘤和抗炎特性。目前的探索评价了在CFA诱导的大鼠关节炎模型中通过口服熊果苷(25、50和100mg/kg)来治疗关节炎。体重变化,爪子大小,记录关节炎大鼠的关节直径,直至第28天。血液学,生物化学,通过麻醉大鼠的血液样本测量氧化和炎症生物标志物。熊果苷明显减少爪体积,PGE-2,抗CCP和5-LOX水平,然而,维持代谢和血液平衡,防止体重减轻。大鼠踝关节的放射学和组织学改变明显改善。此外,熊果苷增加了IL-10和IL-4等基因指针,同时显着降低了CRP和WBC的水平,而Hb,治疗后血小板和红细胞计数明显增加。SOD的抗氧化水平,治疗组CAT和GSH改善,MDA水平降低。Rt-PCR研究显示白细胞介素-1β显著降低,TNF-α,白细胞介素-6,环氧合酶-2,NF-κB和IL-17以及IL-4和IL-10等基因指针在治疗组中的表达增加。分子对接的评估显示熊果苷对5-LOX的强结合相互作用,IL-17,TNF-α和白细胞介素-6,环氧合酶-2,核因子-κB,IL-4和iNOS提供了实验和理论结果之间的强关联。因此,熊果苷通过调节抗炎细胞因子可显着降低CFA诱导的关节炎,即,IL-10和IL-4,促炎细胞因子组,如NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6、PGE-2、5-LOX和COX-2和氧化生物标志物。
Arbutin, a naturally soluble glycosylated phenol has antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. The current exploration appraises the treatment of arthritis by use of
Arbutin (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg) orally in CFA-induced rat arthritis model. Body weight changes, paw size, and joint diameter were recorded till the 28th day in the arthritic-induced rats. Hematological, biochemical, oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers were measured through the blood samples of anesthetized rats.
Arbutin markedly decreased paw volume, PGE-2, anti-CCP and 5-LOX levels, however, maintained metabolic and hematological balance and prevented weight loss. Radiology and histology changes improved significantly in the ankle joints of rats. Moreover,
Arbutin increased gene pointers such as IL-10 and IL-4 while significantly reducing the levels of CRP and WBCs, whereas Hb, platelets and RBCs count markedly raised in post-treatments. Antioxidant levels of SOD, CAT and GSH were improved and MDA level was reduced in treated groups. Rt-PCR investigation showed a significant reduction of the interleukin-1β, TNF-α, interleukin-6, cyclooxygenase-2, NF-κB and IL-17 and increased expression of gene pointers like IL-4, and IL-10 in treated groups. Assessment of molecular docking revealed a strong binding interaction of
Arbutin against 5-LOX, IL-17, TNF-alpha and interleukin-6, cyclooxygenase-2, nuclear factor-κB, IL-4 and iNOS providing a strong association between experimental and theoretical results. As a result, Arbutin has significantly reduced CFA-induced arthritis by modulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines, i.e., IL-10 and IL-4, the pro-inflammatory cytokines panel such as NF-κB, TNF-alpha, IL-1β, IL-6, PGE-2, 5-LOX and COX-2 and oxidative biomarkers.
