ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of different synovial cell secretions on chondrocytes after LPS-induced inflammation,and to explore the mechanism of two synovial cell secretions causing cartilage damage in the progres-sion of KOA disease.Methods Two kinds of synovial cells were co-cultured at 1∶4 and LPS-induced inflamma-tion.The supernatant and exocrine were extracted,and then the normal and LPS-induced inflammation were extrac-ted.The human cartilage tissue obtained during the operation was isolated and cultured into chondrocytes,which were divided into five groups:the first group was added with FLS secretion,the second group was added with nor-mal FLS secretion,the third group was added with secretion after co-culture of two kinds of synovial cells,the fourth group was added with inflammatory MLS secretion,and the fifth group was added with inflammatory FLS se-cretion.CCK-8 was used to detect the viability of chondrocytes in each group.TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 level in the su-pernatant of chondrocytes in each group was detected by ELISA.The protein expression of TLR4,NF-κB,IkK,IκB,ADAMTS5 in chondrocytes of each group was detected by Western blot method.Results CCK-8 showed that the activity of chondrocytes in the three groups of inflammatory secretions decreased compared with the secretions from normal synovial cells(P＜0.05);ELISA showed TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-6 level in the supernatant of group Ⅲ,Ⅳ and V was higher than that of group Ⅰ and Ⅱ(P＜0.05),TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-6 level in group Ⅲ was higher than that in group Ⅳ but lower than that in group Ⅴ(P＜0.05).Western blot showed the protein expression of TLR4,NF-κB,IkK,IκB,ADAMTS5 in chondrocytes of group Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ was higher than that in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ(P＜0.05),the protein expression of TLR4,NF-κB,IkK,IκB,ADAMTS5 in group Ⅲ was higher than that in group Ⅳbut lower than that in group Ⅴ(P＜0.05).Conclusion Two kinds of synovial cell-derived secretions after LPS-induced inflammation can regulate cartilage TLRs/NF-κB signal pathway,causing cartilage inflammation.The in-flammatory effect of MLS secretion is stronger than that of FLS secretion,but the inflammatory effect of MLS secre-tion under two co-cultures is weaker than that of MLS secretion alone.
