Expression of zinc finger protein A20 and related inflammatory factors in nucleus pulposus cells in degenerative intervertebral disc
Objective To study the expression of zinc finger protein A20 and related inflammatory factors in nucleus pulposus cells in degenerative intervertebral disc. Methods Human intervertebral disc tissues provided by department of orthopedics in our hospital were categorized into normal and degenerative groups. The degenerative degree of nucleus pulposus cells was evaluated by Alcian blue staining. The expression of A20
TNF-α
IL-1β and p65 in nucleus pulposus cells was detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. In vitro embryonic mouse nucleus pulposus cells were cultured. Based on the treatment
the cells were divided into control group
LPS stimulation group and NF-κB inhibition group. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was performed to measure the mRNA expression of A20
TNF-α
IL-1β
ADAMST-4
ADAMST-5
and MMP-13. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of A20
TNF-α
IL-1β
ADAMTS-4
ADAMTS-5
MMP-13
p65
and p-p65. Results In human degenerative intervertebral disc
the number of nucleus pulposus cells was obviously decreased in favor of aggregation as compared to the normal group. Also
the expression of A20 was significantly higher than the normal group detected by IHC staining. In embryonic mouse nucleus pulposus cells
the mRNA expression of A20
TNF-α
IL-1β
ADAMST-4
ADAMST-5 and MMP-13 was significantly higher in LPS stimulation group than that in NF-kB inhibition group and control group (P0.05). Likely
LPS stimulation increased the protein levels of A20
TNF-α
IL-1β
ADAMST-4
ADAMST-5
MMP-13
p65 and p-p65 compared to NF-kB inhibition group and control group
which was of statistic significance (P0.05). Conclusion The inflammatory response of nucleus pulposus cells is closely related to the occurrence and development of intervertebral disc degeneration
which A20 may play an important role in inhibiting this inflammatory reaction through NF-kB signaling pathway.
