ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the inhibitory effect of salidroside on the proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes with rheumatoid arthritis in human(HFLS-RA) induced by tomor necrossi factor-α(TNF-α),and to clarify the molecular mechanism of its control effect on rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods:The HFLS-RA were cultured in vitro,then treated with TNF-α and different concentrations of salidroside.The cells were divided into normal control group(0 μg·L-1TNF-α),model control group(10.0 μg·L-1TNF-α)and 12.5,25.0,50.0,and 100.0 μmol·L-1 salidroside groups(10.0 μg·L-1TNF-α+salidroside).The proliferation activity was detected by MTT mehthod;the expression levels of β-catenin,matrix metalloproteinase-7(MMP-7),and Cyclin-D1 in supernatant of the cells were detected by ELISA method;the expression level of β-catenin protein in cells was detected by Western blotting method.Results:Compared with normal control group,the proliferation activity of the HFLS-RA in model control group was significantly increased (P0.05),and the proliferation activities of the HFLS-RA in 50.0 and 100.0 μmol·L-1 salidroside groups were significantly decreased (P0.05);the expression levels of β-catenin,MMP-7,and Cyclin-D1 in the supernatant of the cells in 50.0 and 100.0 μmol·L-1 salidroside groups were decreased(P0.05);the expression levels of β-catenin protein in the cells in 50.0 and 100.0 μmol·L-1 salidroside groups were lower than that in model control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Salidroside could inhibit the proliferation of HFLS-RA,and its control effect might be related to the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin single pathway.
