Effects of Fengshining Capsule on the Ultrastructure of Synovial Cells and the Expressions of Apoptosis-Related Genes in Arthritic Rats Induced by Collagen
Objective To research the mechanism of Fengshining Capsule(FSN) for rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Sixty SD rats were randomized into the normal control group
model group
Tripterygium glycosides tablet(TGT) group
low-dose FSN group
middle-dose FSN group and high-dose FSN group
with 10 in each.The rat models with collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) were established in the five groups except the normal control group.The TGT group was given 0.03 g/(kg·d) TGT.The low-dose
middle-dose and high-dose FSN groups were given 0.33 g/(kg·d)
0.66 g/(kg·d) and 1.32 g/(kg·d) FSN capsule respectively.The distilled water was given to the normal control group and model group.Each group was intragastrically administrated with 20ml/kg of corresponding medicine
once daily for 4 weeks.The ultrastructure of synovial cells was observed with transmission electron microscopy and the expressions of caspase-3 and caspase-9 mRNA were detected with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method.Results Comparing with the model group
the ultrastructure of synovial cells was improved in the FSN groups
especially in the middle-dose FSN group.Comparing with the model group
the expression of caspase-3 mRNA was significantly increased in the TGT group
low-dose FSN group and middle-dose FSN group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Comparing with the model group
the expression of caspase-9 mRNA was significantly increased in the TGT group
high-dose FSN group and middle-dose FSN group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion The mechanism of FSN capsule for RA may be relevant to improving the ultrastructure of synovial cells and increasing the apoptosis-related genes caspase-3 mRNA and caspase-9 mRNA.
