Effect of Saururus chinensis leaves extract on type II collagen-induced arthritis mouse model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Saururus chinensis leaves have been used as traditional medicine in Korea for pain, intoxication, edema, and furuncle. According to previous reports, these leaves exert renoprotective, neuroprotective, and antioxidant effects by attenuating inflammatory responses. However, the beneficial effect of Saururus chinensis leaves on arthritis has not been elucidated. Thus, we evaluated the water extract of Saururus chinensis leaves (SHW) using type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice models.

Methods

Quantitative analysis of major components from SHW was performed by HPLC. Arthritis was induced by injection of type II collagen. Each group was orally administered SHW (100 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg). Methotrexate (MTX) was used as a positive control. Serum levels of interleukin-6, TNF-alpha, and type II collagen IgG in the animal models were measured using ELISA. Histological features were observed by H&E staining.

Results

Quantitative analysis of SHW showed the contents as 56.4 ± 0.52 mg/g of miquelianin, 7.75 ± 0.08 mg/g of quercetin 3-O-(2"-O-β -glucopyranosyl)-α-rhamnopyranoside, and 3.17 ± 0.02 mg/g of quercitrin. Treatment with 500 mg/kg SHW decreased the serum level of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), TNF-alpha, and collagen IgG in the CIA model. Moreover, SHW treatment diminished the swelling of hind limbs and monocyte infiltration in blood vessels in CIA animal models. The results indicate that SHW could decrease CIA-induced arthritis in vivo.

Conclusions

The results indicate that SHW could be used to improving arthritis by reducing inflammatory factors (IL-6 and TNF-alpha). However, further experiments are required to determine how SHW influences signal transduction in animal models.

Autoimmunity to citrullinated type II collagen in rheumatoid arthritis.

Project description:The production of autoantibodies to citrullinated type II collagen and the citrullination of type II collagen were analyzed in rheumatoid arthritis. Autoantibodies to citrullinated type II collagen were detected in 78.5% of serum samples from 130 rheumatoid arthritis patients. Autoantibodies to native noncitrullinated type II collagen were detected in 14.6% of serum samples, all of which were positive for anti-citrullinated type II collagen antibodies. Serum samples were also positive for anti-citrullinated type II collagen antibodies in 1 of 31 systemic lupus erythematosus patients and 2 of 55 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. In contrast, sera samples from 24 systemic sclerosis patients, 21 dermatomyositis/polymyositis patients, 21 ankylosing spondylitis patients, and 18 psoriatic arthritis patients were all negative for anti-citrullinated type II collagen antibodies. Anti-citrullinated type II collagen antibodies and fragments of citrullinated type II collagen were found in the synovial fluid obtained from affected knee joints of 15 rheumatoid arthritis patients. Moreover, anti-citrullinated type II collagen antibodies were isolated from the synovium of affected knee joints in 8 rheumatoid arthritis patients using antigen/antibody immunocomplex dissociation buffer but not by using standard buffers. These findings indicate that autoantibodies that react with citrullinated type II collagen are specifically produced and that immunocomplexes composed of fragments of citrullinated type II collagen and autoantibodies are deposited in the inflamed articular synovium in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Assaying for the presence of anti-citrullinated type II collagen antibodies may therefore be useful for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis, and the deposition of these immunocomplexes in the articular synovium may be involved in pathogenesis.

Development of the petaloid bracts of a paleoherb species, Saururus chinensis.

Project description:Saururus chinensis is a core member of Saururaceae, an ancient, perianthless (lacking petals or sepals) family of the magnoliids in the Mesangiospermae, which is important for understanding the origin and evolution of early flowers due to its unusual floral composition and petaloid bracts. To compare their transcriptomes, RNA-seq abundance analysis identified 43,463 genes that were found to be differentially expressed in S. chinensis bracts. Of these, 5,797 showed significant differential expression, of which 1,770 were up-regulated and 4,027 down-regulated in green compared to white bracts. The expression profiles were also compared using cDNA microarrays, which identified 166 additional differentially expressed genes. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was used to verify and extend the cDNA microarray results, showing that the A and B class MADS-box genes were up-regulated in the white bracts. Phylogenetic analysis was performed on putative S. chinensis A and B-class of MADS-box genes to infer evolutionary relationships within the A and B-class of MADS-box gene family. In addition, nature selection and protein interactions of B class MADS-box proteins were inferred that B-class genes free from evolutionary pressures. The results indicate that petaloid bracts display anatomical and gene expression features normally associated with petals, as found in petaloid bracts of other species, and support an evolutionarily conserved developmental program for petaloid bracts.

Matrine Exerts a Strong Anti-Arthritic Effect on Type II Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Rats by Inhibiting Inflammatory Responses.

Project description:To investigate anti-arthritic effects of matrine isolated from the roots of S. flavescens on type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats and to explore its related potential mechanisms, CIA rats were established and administered with matrine (20, 40 or 80 mg/kg/days, for 30 days). Subsequently, blood was collected to determine serum levels of TNF-?, IL-1?, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17A, IL-10, MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9, and hind paws and knee joints were collected for histopathological examination. Furthermore, indices of the thymus and spleen were determined, and synovial tissues were collected to determine the protein expressions of p-I?B, I?B, Cox-2 and iNOS. Our results indicated that matrine significantly suppressed inflammatory reactions and synovial tissue destruction. Matrine inhibited paw swelling, arthritis indices and weight loss in CIA rats. Additionally, matrine decreased the levels of TNF-?, IL-1?, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17A, MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9. Matrine also down-regulated expressions of p-I?B, Cox-2, and iNOS but up-regulated I?B in synovial tissues in CIA rats. The results suggested matrine possesses an anti-arthritic effect in CIA rats via inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and proteins that promote the NF-?B pathway.

Inhibition of fucosylation reshapes inflammatory macrophages and suppresses type II collagen-induced arthritis.

Project description:Fucosylation catalyzed by fucosyltransferases (FUTs) is an important posttranslational modification involved in a variety of biologic processes. This study was undertaken to determine the roles of fucosylation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to assess the efficacy of reestablishing immune homeostasis with the use of 2-deoxy-d-galactose (2-d-gal), a fucosylation inhibitor.Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine the expression of FUT genes in synovial tissue from RA and osteoarthritis (OA) patients and in fluorescence-activated cell-sorted cells from RA synovial fluid. The in vivo inhibitory effect of 2-d-gal was evaluated in a murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. The in vitro effects of 2-d-gal on differentiation of inflammatory macrophages, production of cytokines, and antigen uptake, processing, and presentation functions were analyzed.FUTs that are involved in terminal or subterminal fucosylation, but not those involved in core fucosylation or O-fucosylation, were up-regulated in RA compared to OA synovial tissue. The expression of terminal FUTs was highly positively correlated with the expression of TNF (encoding for tumor necrosis factor ?). Terminal FUTs were predominantly expressed in M1 macrophages. In vivo, 2-d-gal treatment of mice precluded the development of CIA by reducing inflammatory macrophages and Th17 cells in the draining lymph nodes and decreasing the levels of TNF?, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and antibodies to type II collagen in the serum. In vitro, treatment with 2-d-gal skewed the differentiation of M1 macrophages to IL-10-producing M2 macrophages. Furthermore, 2-d-gal significantly inhibited the antigen-presenting function of M1 macrophages.Terminal fucosylation is a novel hallmark of inflammatory macrophages. Inhibition of terminal FUTs reshapes the differentiation and functions of M1 macrophages, leading to resolution of inflammation in arthritis.

Anti-Inflamatory Activity of Neolignan Compound Isolated from the Roots of Saururus chinensis.

Project description:Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Baill. is a perennial herb and grows in Korea, China, and Japan. Interestingly, (7S,8S)-Δ8'-3,4-methylenedioxy-3',5,5'-trimethoxy-7-monoacetate-8.O.4'-neolignan (MTMN), one of the active neolignans, was first isolated from the roots of Saururus chinensis. The compound was screened for anti-inflammatory activity using a RAW264.7 murine macrophage cell line. The dried roots of S. chinensis (9.7 kg) were extracted with 70% methanol and then solvent fractionation. From the ethyl acetate fraction, MTMN was purified through silica gel column and reverse-phase column chromatography and its structure was identified by spectroscopic analysis with nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism, and mass spectrometry. RAW264.7 cells were induced using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and treated with or without MTMN. Production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels were measured and protein expressions of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were analyzed by immunoblotting. The isolated neolignan was (7S,8S)-Δ8'-3,4-methylenedioxy-3',5,5'-trimethoxy-7-monoacetate-8.O.4'-neolignan. This compound suppressed the LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 protein expressions, which led to a decrease in the production of NO and PGE2 levels. Further studies, including in animal models, will be required to establish the precise pharmacological effect of MTMN.

Characterization of the complete plastome of medicinal plant <i>Saururus chinensis</i> (Saururaceae).

Project description:Saururus chinensis is an important medicinal plant in Southeast Asia. Here, we determined the first complete plastome of S. chinensis using high throughput Illumina sequencing technology. The S. chinensis plastome is 161,494 bp in length and presents a typical quadripartite structure consisting of one large single-copy region (LSC, 88,863 bp), one small single-copy region (SSC, 18,679 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,976 bp each). The phylogenetic analysis robustly supports that S. chinensis is sister to the group including the Saruma henryi, Asarum sieboldii, Piper kadsura, Piper cenocladum.

Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis.

Project description:Antibodies to citrulline-modified proteins have a high diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their biological role in disease development is still unclear. To obtain insight into this question, a panel of mouse monoclonal antibodies was generated against a major triple helical collagen type II (CII) epitope (position 359-369; ARGLTGRPGDA) with or without arginines modified by citrullination. These antibodies bind cartilage and synovial tissue, and mediate arthritis in mice. Detection of citrullinated CII from RA patients' synovial fluid demonstrates that cartilage-derived CII is indeed citrullinated in vivo. The structure determination of a Fab fragment of one of these antibodies in complex with a citrullinated peptide showed a surprising beta-turn conformation of the peptide and provided information on citrulline recognition. Based on these findings, we propose that autoimmunity to CII, leading to the production of antibodies specific for both native and citrullinated CII, is an important pathogenic factor in the development of RA.
