ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the influence of Drynaria total flavonoids on proliferation and apoptosis of osteoblasts in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)- mediated medium, so as to explore the mechanism of Drynaria total flavonoids in preventing and treating osteoporosis of rheumatoid arthritis.METHODS:
Twenty Wistar rats with average weight of (200±20) g were randomly divided into two groups blank control group and Qianggu capsule (Drynaria total flavonoids) group. Rats in Qianggu capsule group were fed with 75 mg Qianggu capsule daily for continuous 3 d. One hour after the last feed, blood samples were collected. The in vitro experiment of four groups was designed blank control serum group, Drynaria total flavonoids-containing serum group, blank control serum plus TNF-α group and Drynaria total flavonoids-containing serum plus TNF-α group. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method was used to detect the proliferation of osteoblasts. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of osteoblasts and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction to detect the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNAs in osteoblasts.RESULTS:
Compared with the control serum, Drynaria total flavonoids-containing serum promoted the proliferation and decreased the apoptosis of osteoblasts in TNF-α-mediated inflammatory environment (P<0.05), and increased the ratio of Bcl-2 mRNA to Bax mRNA.CONCLUSION:
In TNF-α-mediated inflammatory environment, Drynaria total flavonoids can promote the proliferation and decrease the apoptosis of osteoblasts by improving the ratio of Bcl-2 mRNA to Bax mRNA, which may be one of the mechanisms of Drynaria total flavonoids in preventing and treating osteoporosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
