XFC improved mechanism of hypercoagulable state in OA patients based on NF-κB signaling pathway:a mechanism exploration / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relationship between hypercoagulable state and the activation of the NF- kappa B pathway,inflammatory/suppression cytokines in patients with osteoarthritis. Methods:56 patients with OA were divided into two groups according to random number table:XFC group ( 28 cases ) and glucosamine ( GS ) group ( 28 cases ) . Two groups were treated for 3 months. Nine healthy people are healthy control group ( NC) . Determining the expression levels of the index of the NF-κB signaling pathway (p50,p65,TAK1,IκBα) and TNF-α,IL-1,IL-10,platelet activating factor(PAF) in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Detected the level of the indicators and laboratory indexes related with coagulation,observed the changes between the two group, used OA symptoms integral scale, LequesneMG, SF-36 and vas to assess efficacy;and made a correlation analysis. Results: After treatment,FIB,D-D, PAF, PLT, p50, p65, TAK1, IL-1, TNF-α, hs-CRP, ESR, IgG, LequesneMG, symptom integral meter, and VAS integral were significantly higher,APTT,PT,PAF-AH,IL-10 and each dimension integral of SF-36 significantly decreased in 2 groups (P<0. 05). XFC group was better than the GS group in reducing the level of PLT,FIB,TNF-α,p65,TAK1,hs-CRP,ESR,symptom integral meter,and VAS integral and increasing PT,each dimension integral of SF-36, etc (P<0. 05,P<0. 01). The results of Pearson correlation analysis show that PLT,FIB,D-D,PAF had positive correlation with p50,p65,TAK1,IL-1,TNF-α,hs-CRP,ESR,IgG,Le-quesneMG,symptom integral meter,and VAS integral,and negative correlation with IL-10 and each dimension integral of SF-36 ( P<0. 05,P<0. 01). PT had positive correlation with IL-10,GH and PF,and negative correlation with p50,p65,TAK1,IL-1,TNF-α,hs-CRP,ESR,IgG,symptom integral meter,and VAS integral (P<0. 05,P<0. 01). Conclusion: XFC could inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway, raise the level of IL-10, reduce the expression of IL-1, TNF-α, P50, p65, TAK1 and so on, and reduce the abnormal inflammatory immune response. So as to achieve the purpose of delaying and inhibiting the production of hypercoagulable state,reduce joint disease,relieve the symptoms of joint pain and stiffness,eventually improve the patient’s quality of life.
