摘要
目的探讨粒细胞巨噬细胞-集落刺激因子(GM-CSF)靶向抑制剂和白细胞介素(IL)-23靶向抑制剂联合使用缓解强直性脊柱炎(AS)小鼠脊柱纤维化的作用机制。方法招募健康受试者(HC组)和AS患者(AS组)各6例,采集其外周静脉血,检测血清肿瘤坏死因子(TNF-α)、IL-23、IL-17和GM-CSF的水平。建立AS小鼠模型。30只小鼠随机分为Control组、Model组、IL-17A Inh组(阳性对照组)、IL-23 Inh组、GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh组,每组6只。ELISA法测定小鼠血清TNF-α、IL-23、IL-17和GM-CSF的水平。Western blot法测定小鼠脊柱周围肌肉/韧带组织上皮-间质转化(EMT)标志物E-cadherin、N-cadherin、snail、Vimentin的水平以及脊柱骨组织核因子-κB配体的受体激活因子(RANKL)、骨保护素(OPG)和碱性磷酸酶(ALP)的水平。micro-CT测定小鼠左后爪和脊柱(L5~6脊椎骨)新生骨和成熟骨体积。结果与HC组相比,AS组患者血清中TNF-α、IL-23、IL-17和GM-CSF水平升高(P<0.05)。与Control组相比,Model组小鼠血清中TNF-α、IL-23、IL-17和GM-CSF水平升高(P<0.05),脊柱周围肌肉/韧带组织E-cadherin的相对表达水平下调(P<0.05),N-cadherin、snail和Vimentin的相对表达水平上调(P<0.05),脊柱骨组织RANKL的相对表达水平上调(P<0.05),小鼠左后爪和L5~6脊椎新生骨体积增大(P<0.05)。与Model组相比,GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh组上述指标的水平均逆转(P<0.05),IL-23 Inh组上述指标均无明显差异(P>0.05)。与Control组相比,Model组小鼠脊柱骨组织OPG和ALP的相对表达水平上调(P<0.05);与Model组相比,GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh组上述指标无明显差异(P>0.05)。结论GM-CSF靶向抑制剂和IL-23靶向抑制剂联合治疗可以降低AS小鼠炎症水平,缓解脊柱周围肌肉、韧带组织纤维化,并抑制脊柱骨组织表达RANKL,减少新生骨形成和病理性骨重塑,保护脊柱的活性。
Objective To explore the mechanism of glycoprotein,granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF)targeted inhibitor combined with interleukin(IL)-23 targeted inhibitor in alleviating spinal fibrosis in mice with ankylosing spondylitis(AS).Methods Six healthy subjects(HC group)and six AS patients(AS group)were recruited,and their peripheral venous blood were collected,the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF were detected.AS mice model were established.A total of 30 mice were randomly divided into the Control group,the Model group,the IL-17A Inh group(positive control group),the IL-23 Inh group,and the GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh group,with 6 mice in each group.The levels of TNF-α,IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF in serum of mice were detected by ELISA.Western blot was used to detect the levels of epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)markers E-cadherin,N-cadherin,snail and Vimentin in muscle/ligament tissues around spine,as well as the levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(RANKL),osteoprotegerin(OPG)and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)in spinal bone tissues.Micro-CT was used to measure the volume of new bone and the mature bone in the left hind paw and spine(L5~6 vertebrae)of mice.Results Compared with the HC group,the levels of TNF-α,IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF in serum of patients in the AS group were increased(P<0.05).Compared with the Control group,the levels of TNF-α,IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF in serum of mice in the Model group were increased(P<0.05),the relative expression level of E-cadherin was down-regulated(P<0.05),while the relative expression levels of N-cadherin,snail and Vimentin in muscle/ligament tissues around spine were up-regulated(P<0.05),the relative expression level of RANKL in spinal bone tissues was up-regulated(P<0.05),and the volume of new bone in the left hind paw and L5~6 vertebrae of mice increased(P<0.05).Compared with the Model group,the levels of the above indexes in the GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh group were reversed(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in the above indexes in the IL-23 Inh group(P>0.05).Compared with the Control group,the relative expression levels of OPG and ALP in spinal bone tissues of mice in the Model group were up-regulated(P<0.05).Compared with the Model group,there was no significant difference in the above indexes in the GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh group(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination therapy of GM-CSF targeted inhibitor and IL-23 targeted inhibitor can reduce the inflammation level,alleviate the fibrosis of muscle and ligament tissues around spine,inhibit the expression of RANKL in the spinal bone tissues,reduce new bone formation and pathological bone remodeling,and protect the activity of the spine.
