Effects of Safflower Extract on the Expressions of ERK,JNK and P38 in Femoral Head Tissue of Rabbits With Steroid-Induced Avascular Necrosis
Objective To research the possible mechanism of safflower extract for steroid-induced avascular necrosis.Methods Forty adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomized into the normal control group
model control group
core decompression group
normal saline+core decompression group and safflower extract+core decompression group
with 8in each.The models of steroid-induced avascular necrosis were established in all groups except the normal control group.There was no treatment in the normal control group and model control group after modeling.The core decompression group was given the core decompression.The normal saline+core decompression group was given normal saline and core decompression.The safflower extract+core decompression group was given 7.2mg/kg safflower yellow A and core decompression.The rabbits were sacrificed one week later.The femoral head in the affected side was removed and the expressions of ERK
JNK and P38were detected with Western Blotting.Results Comparing with the normal control group
the expressions of ERK1and ERK2were significantly decreased but the expressions of JNK and P38were significantly increased in the model control group(P<0.05).Comparing with the model control group
the expressions of ERK1and ERK2 were significantly increased but the expressions of JNK and P38were significantly decreased in the core decompression group
normal saline+core decompression group and safflower extract+ core decompression group(P<0.05).Comparing with the core decompression group
the expressions of ERK1and ERK2were significantly increased but the expressions of JNK and P38were significantly decreased in the safflower extract+ core decompression group(P<0.05).Conclusion Safflower extract can reduce the damage and promote the repair of steroid-induced avascular necrosis by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway
increasing the phosphorylation level of ERK
reducing the phosphorylation levels of JNK and P38and promoting cell proliferation and differentiation and inhibiting cell apoptosis of femoral intramedullary.
