Objective:To observe the effects of Xinfeng Capsule(新风胶囊,XFC)on platelet parameters in peripheral blood and expression of platelet derived growth factor(PDGF)in synovium of adjuvant arthritis(AA)rats.Methods:A total of 40 male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomized into 5 groups:normal control(NC),AA model control(MC),methotrexate(MTX)treatment,Tripterygium wilfordii polycoride tablet(TPT)treatment,and XFC treatment.Excluding the NC group,the AA model was induced by intracutaneous injection of 0.1 mL Freund’s complete adjuvant in the right hind limb.Induction of AA and the effects of drug treatments were assessed by voix pedis swelling,arthritis index(Al),body mass,and the pathological changes of joints and cartilage with a light microscopy.Platelet parameters in peripheral blood were detected with an automated hematology analyzer.PDGF in synovium was detected with immunohistochemical methods and PDGF mRNA expression in synovium was detected with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.Results:Compared with the NC group,the MC group had significantly increased voix pedis swelling,Al,platelet(PLT)and plateletcrit(PCT)in peripheral blood and PDGF as well as PDGF mRNA in synovium(all P<0.01)and the joint cartilage was also highly degenerated.Compared with the MC group,the 3 treated groups had significantly decreased voix pedis swelling,Al,PLT,PCT,PDGF,and PDGF mRNA(P<0.01).The body mass in the XFC group was significantly higher than those in MTX and TPT groups(P<0.05).The levels of PLT,PCT,PDGF,and PDGF mRNA in the XFC group showed a decreasing tendency with no significant difference compared with the MTX and TPT groups(P>0.05).PDGF and PDGF mRNA of AA rats were positively correlated with voix pedis swelling,Al,PLT,and PCT(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusions:The expression and biosynthesis of PDGF increase in the synovium of AA rats and correlate with voix pedis swelling,Al,PLT,and PCT.XFC can decrease the levels of PDGF,PDGF mRNA,PLT,and PCT,thereby mitigating inflammation induced by platelet activation and reducing voix pedis swelling and the Al in AA rats.
Objective: To observe the effects of Xinfeng Capsule (XFC) on platelet parameters in peripheral blood and expression of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) in synovium of adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats. Methods: A total of 40 male Sprague- Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into 5 groups: normal control (NC), AA model control (MC), methotrexate (MTX) treatment, Tripterygium wilfordii polycoride tablet (TPT) treatment, and XFC treatment. model was induced by intracutaneous injection of 0.1 mL Freund’s complete adjuvant in the right hind limb. Induction of AA and the effects of drug treatments were assessed by voix pedis swelling, arthritis index (Al), body mass, and the pathological changes of joints and cartilage with a light microscopy. Platelet parameters in peripheral blood were detected with an automated hematology analyzer. PDGF in synovium was detected with immunohistochemical methods and PDGF mRNA expression in synovium was detected with reverse transcription polymeras e chain reaction. Results: Compared with the NC group, the MC group had significantly increased voix pedis swelling, Al, platelet (PLT) and platelet crit (PCT) in peripheral blood and PDGF as well as PDGF mRNA in synovium (all P <0.01 ) and the joint cartilage was also highly degenerated. Compared with the MC group, the 3 treated groups had significantly decreased voix pedis swelling, Al, PLT, PCT, PDGF, and PDGF mRNA (P <0.01). Body mass in the XFC The levels of PLT, PCT, PDGF, and PDGF mRNA in the XFC group showed a decreasing tendency with no significant difference compared with the MTX and TPT groups (P <0.05) > 0.05). PDGF and PDGF mRNA of AA rats were positively correlated with voix pedis swelling, Al, PLT, and PCT (P <0.05 or P <0.01) .Conclusions: The expression and biosynthesis of PDGF increase in the synovium of AA rats and correlate with voix pedis swelling, Al, PLT, and PCT. XFC can decrease the levels of PDGF, PDGF mRNA, PLT, and PCT, thereby mitigati ng inflammation induced by platelet activation and reducing voix pedis swelling and the Al in AA rats.
