Study on mechanism of action of biochanin A on osteoarthritis in vitro
To investigate the mechanism of action of biochanin A (BCA) on osteoarthritis through in vitro experiments.
Methods
2
Primary rat chondrocytes were extracted and cultured,and then divided into the control group(without inducer or interferant),the model group [10 ng/mL interleukin-1β (IL-1β) induction],and the BCA group (10 ng/mL IL-1β induction+0,3,6,12,24,48 μmol/L BCA intervention).Cell activity was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method.Senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining was used to observe cell senescence.Intracellular inflammatory factors and oxidative stress indexes were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),the levels of related proteins were detected by Western blot,and the affinity between BCA and Nrf2 was verified by molecular docking technology.
Results
2
After screening the concentration of BCA with MTT,6,12 and 24 μmol/L BCA were selected for subsequent experiments.Compared with the control group,the chondrocyte activity and the activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the model group were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.05).The number of SA-β-gal positive cells and expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),and malondialdehyde (MDA) increased significantly (
P
<
0.05).The expression levels of type II collagen (COL2A1) and aggrecan (ACAN) were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.05).Compared with the model group,the above conditions were significantly reversed in the BCA group (
P
<
0.05).In addition,BCA could significantly reduce the degradation of inhibitor kappa B alpha (IκB-α) and nuclear translocation of NF-κBp65,and promote the expression of Nrf2 in the nucleus and the expression of human heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in whole cells (
P
<
0.05).The results of molecular docking further confirmed that BCA had the highest affinity with Nrf2.
Conclusion
2
BCA can inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation of osteoarthritis chondrocytes by regulating Nrf2/NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro,and alleviate joint injury.
