摘要：

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of recombinant human endostatin (rhEndostatin) on adjuvant arthritis (AA) in rats and its possible mechanisms. RhEndostatin was subcutaneously administrated to AA rats after immunization. The progression of AA was assessed by the macroscopic arthritis scoring system of paws. Histological examination of the synovial tissues was examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and proteins in the synovial tissues was evaluated by realtime PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) were isolated from synovial tissues. Cell proliferation assay was evaluateded with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide. The levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in culture medium was examined by radioimmno assay. RhEndostatin attenuated the severity of arthritis on both second hind paw volume and polyarthritis score, as well as improved the arthritic status histologically in AA rats. Simultaneously, rhEndostatin can inhibit the expression of VEGF in synovial tissues. The proliferation of FLS and TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta production from culture medium was significantly inhibited by rhEndostatin. Our data suggest that rhEndostatin inhibits adjuvant arthritis by down-regulating VEGF expression and suppression of TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta production.
