Effects of platelet-rich plasma on chondrocyte apoptosis and NLRP3/IL-1β signaling pathway in rabbits with osteoarthritis

AIM To explore the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on rabbit osteoarthritis and its possible mechanism. METHODS The rabbits with knee osteoarthritis were prepared and then divided into model group, sodium hyaluronate (SH) group and PRP group, and another sham operation group was set up, with 6 rabbits in each group. The gross morphological changes of rabbit cartilage were observed. HE staining was used to evaluate the pathomorphological changes of the cartilage. TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis of chondrocytes. The expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/interleukin-1β （IL-1β） signaling pathway-related molecules was observed by immunohistochemical staining, and the protein levels of caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. Chondrocytes were isolated and processed according to grouping, and the NLRP3 and IL-1β levels of the cells were measured by ELISA. RESULTS Compared with sham operation group, Pelletier score, Mankin score, chondrocyte apoptotic rate, the positive protein expression rates of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC), caspase-1 and IL-1β, and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax in model group were increased significantly (P<0.05), while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with model group, Pelletier score, Mankin score, the apoptotic rate of chondrocytes, the positive protein expression rates of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β, and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax in SH group and PRP group were decreased significantly (P<0.05), while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was increased significantly (P<0.05). In PRP group, Pelletier score, Mankin score, the apoptotic rate of chondrocytes, the positive protein expression rates of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β, and the protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax were lower than those in SH group, while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was higher than that in SH group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the expression of NL?RP3 and IL-1β in MCC950 (NLRP3 ihibitor) group were significantly reduced (P<0.05), the expression of NLRP3 in eucalyptol (IL-1β inhibitor) group was not significantly changed (P>0.05), and the expression of IL-1β was significantly reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Platelet-rich plasma promotes the repair of cartilage in osteoarthritis rabbits, which has better effect than SH. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NLRP3/IL-1β pathway and the reduction of chondrocyte apoptosis.     

甜瓜嫩果皮颜色遗传规律研究

为探究甜瓜嫩果皮颜色的遗传规律,以甜瓜嫩果皮颜色为深绿色的S26和青色的S28为亲本材料,通过构建BC1群体,利用卡方测验,分析回交群体BC1的深绿色嫩果皮和青色嫩果皮的分离比例,开展甜瓜嫩果皮的遗传规律分析,以对嫩果皮颜色基因进行初步定位。结果表明：BC1群体表型表现为深绿色和青色2种,且群体比例为1∶1,从而确定颜色性状为单基因控制且深绿色为显性性状。通过分离群体分组分析法（BSA）和混池测序结果可以看出,控制甜瓜嫩果皮颜色的基因位于chr04的端部位置,这为后续基因的精细定位以及克隆提供了研究基础。

基于表型性状与简单重复序列标记的浙江省芋种质资源遗传多样性比较

为探讨浙江省地方芋种质资源的遗传多样性,并挖掘特异芋种质,对25份浙江省地方芋种质资源进行调查鉴定,对15个表型性状进行了遗传多样性分析、主成分分析、表型性状与简单重复序列(SSR)标记相结合的聚类分析。结果表明,浙江省芋种质遗传多样性丰富,变异系数与多样性指数均值分别为31.32%与0.97。主成分分析显示,前5个主成分累积特征值为10.871,累计贡献率为77.649%,主成分1反映了多子芋株型综合因子,主成分2反映了芋叶形状综合因子,主成分3反映了母芋形状综合因子,主成分4、5分别代表母芋表皮棕毛、母芋颜色因子;另外,孙芋形状、母芋芽色、叶心色斑颜色、叶柄中下部颜色、母芋表皮棕毛可作为芋种质鉴别优先观测的形态性状指标。基于表型性状的聚类在遗传距离4.171处可将所有种质分为5个类别,其中第Ⅲ类与第Ⅴ类的子孙芋形状均为卵圆,商品性好。此外,在20份多子芋中还挖掘出2份紫红柄特异芋种质。20对SSR引物在所有资源中扩增共获得53个条带,具有多态性的条带为48条,多态性比率为90.6%,多态信息含量(PIC值)为0.22~0.64;SSR分子标记聚类在DICE遗传相似系数0.721处将所有种质分为5个类别,与表型性状聚类结果有类似之处,但又有所不同。2种不同的聚类方式在芋种质资源的鉴别中具有互补作用,均表明了亲缘关系的远近与地理来源并无直接关系。上述结果将为芋种质资源进一步保护、利用与创新提供重要的理论基础。
