    摘要:

    目的:基于TLR4/NF-κB通路探讨四君子汤对肌少-骨质疏松症(OS)大鼠的改善机制。方法:大鼠随机分为假手术组、OS组、四君子汤低剂量组、四君子汤高剂量组、雌二醇组、四君子汤高剂量+脂多糖(LPS)组,OS模型通过去势联合腹腔注射地塞米松来构建,采用四君子汤和TLR4激活剂LPS分组处理后测定各组大鼠前肢肌力、全身与股骨骨密度、肌肉百分比、股骨远端骨微结构[骨体积分数(BV/TV)、骨表面密度(BS/TV)、骨小梁数(Tb.N)和骨小梁分离度(Tb.Sp)];检测各组大鼠股四头肌质量分数,并以HE染色进行股四头肌组织病理检测,比较各组大鼠股四头肌肌纤维横截面积(CSA);以ELISA测定各组大鼠I型前胶原氨基端前肽(PINP)、I型胶原C端肽(CTX-1)、骨钙素(OCN)与血清炎性因子水平;以免疫组化染色与免疫印迹法检测各组大鼠股四头肌与股骨组织TLR4/NF-κB通路蛋白表达。结果:相比假手术组,OS组前肢肌力、全身与股骨骨密度、肌肉百分比、BV/TV、BS/TV、Tb.N、股四头肌质量分数与肌纤维CSA、PINP与OCN水平降低(P<0.05),Tb.Sp、CTX-1、IL-6、IL-1β与IL-17水平、TLR4与p-NF-κB p65阳性表达、TLR4蛋白表达、p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65升高(P<0.05);相比OS组,四君子汤低与高剂量组、雌二醇组前肢肌力、全身与股骨骨密度、肌肉百分比、BV/TV、BS/TV、Tb.N、股四头肌质量分数与肌纤维CSA、PINP与OCN水平升高(P<0.05),Tb.Sp、CTX-1、IL-6、IL-1β与IL-17水平、TLR4与p-NF-κB p65阳性表达、TLR4蛋白表达、p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65降低(P<0.05),而高剂量四君子汤与雌二醇对OS大鼠各病理指标的改善作用更强。相比四君子汤高剂量组,四君子汤高剂量+LPS组前肢肌力、全身与股骨骨密度、肌肉百分比、BV/TV、BS/TV、Tb.N、股四头肌质量分数与肌纤维CSA、PINP与OCN水平降低(P<0.05),Tb.Sp、CTX-1、IL-6、IL-1β与IL-17水平、TLR4与p-NF-κB p65阳性表达、TLR4蛋白表达、p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65升高(P<0.05)。四君子汤高剂量组各指标与雌二醇组相比无明显变化(P>0.05)。结论:四君子汤可通过抑制TLR4/NF-κB信号通路激活改善OS大鼠肌肉减少与骨质疏松症状。

    Abstract:

    Objective: To explore the improvement mechanism of Sijunzi Tang on osteosarcopenia (OS) rats based on TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Methods: Rats were assigned into sham operation group, OS group, low-dose Sijunzi Tang group, high-dose Sijunzi Tang group, estradiol group and high-dose Sijunzi Tang+lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group randomly. The OS model was constructed by castration combined with intraperitoneal injection of dexamethasone. After treatment with Sijunzi Tang and TLR4 activator LPS, the forelimb muscle strength, whole-body and femoral bone densities, muscle percentage, and distal femoral bone microstructure [percent bone volume (BV/TV), bone surface density (BS/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular separation degree (Tb.Sp)] were measured. The mass fraction of quadriceps muscle was detected, and HE staining was used for histopathological examination of quadriceps muscle tissue. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of quadriceps muscle fibers was compared. ELISA was used to measure serum procollagen i n-terminal propeptide (PINP), C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1), osteocalcin (OCN) ?and inflammatory factors. Immunohistochemical staining and immunoblotting was used to detect TLR4/NF-κB pathway proteins in the quadriceps femoris and femoral tissues. Results: For the sham surgery group, the OS group showed a decrease in forelimb muscle strength, whole-body and femoral bone densities, muscle percentage, BV/TV, BS/TV, Tb.N, quadriceps mass fraction and muscle fiber CSA, the levels of PINP and OCN (P<0.05), and an increase in Tb.SP, the levels of CTX-1, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17, positive expression of TLR4 and p-NF-κB p65, TLR4 protein expression, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 (P<0.05). For the OS group, the low and high-dose Sijunzi Tang groups, estradiol group showed an increase in forelimb muscle strength, whole-body and femoral bone densities, muscle percentage, BV/TV, BS/TV, Tb.N, quadriceps mass fraction and muscle fiber CSA, the levels of PINP and OCN (P<0.05), and a decrease in Tb.SP, the levels of CTX-1, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17, positive expression of TLR4 and p-NF-κB p65, TLR4 protein expression, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 (P<0.05). However, high-dose Sijunzi Tang and estradiol had a stronger improvement effect on various pathological indicators in OS rats. For the high-dose Sijunzi Tang group, the high-dose Sijunzi Tang+LPS group showed a decrease in forelimb muscle strength, whole-body and femoral bone densities, muscle percentage, BV/TV, BS/TV, Tb.N, quadriceps mass fraction and muscle fiber CSA, the levels of PINP and OCN (P<0.05), and an increase in Tb.SP, the levels of CTX-1, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17, positive expression of TLR4 and p-NF-κB p65, TLR4 protein expression, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 (P<0.05). There was no significant change in various indicators between the high-dose Sijunzi Tang group and the estradiol group (P>0.05). Conclusion: Sijunzi Tang can improve muscle atrophy and osteoporosis symptoms in OS rats by suppressing activation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
