目的 利用斑马鱼炎症模型,评价三峡阳菊叶水提取物(WELTGY)的抗炎作用并对其机制进行初步研究。方法 选取受精后3 d(3 dpf)的转基因斑马鱼移入6孔板中,设置对照组(胚胎培养用水)、模型组(胚胎培养用水)和WELTGY 0.4、0.8、1.6、3.2 mg/mL组,作用3 h后,向除对照组外的其他组中分别加入硫酸铜,终浓度为20 μmol/L,作用1 h后在荧光显微镜下观察转基因品系Tg(zlyz:EGFP)斑马鱼体内炎症细胞迁移情况;应用DCFH-DA活性氧(ROS)探针对AB野生型斑马鱼染色,观察荧光强度;实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)测定野生型斑马鱼炎症相关基因的mRNA水平。结果 与模型组比较,0.4、0.8、1.6、3.2 mg/mL WELTGY组斑马鱼中迁移至侧线部位的炎症细胞数量显著减少(P<0.01),斑马鱼荧光强度明显降低,ROS含量减少。与模型组比较,0.4、0.8、1.6、3.2 mg/mL WELTGY组过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)的mRNA表达显著升高(P<0.05、0.01),核因子抑制蛋白A(IκBαA)、激活蛋白-1(AP-1)的mRNA表达显著降低(P<0.01),炎症因子白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-6和前列腺素E2合成酶(PTGES)、髓样分化因子(MyD88)、环氧化酶(COX)-2的mRNA表达显著降低(P<0.01);1.6、3.2 mg/mL WELTGY组核转录因子(NF-κB)的mRNA表达显著下降(P<0.05、0.01);1.6 mg/mL WELTGY组IL-12α的mRNA表达显著下降(P<0.01)。结论 通过构建斑马鱼急性炎症模型验证了WELTGY具有抗炎作用,其机制可能是WELTGY抑制ROS释放,激活PPARγ表达,抑制NF-κB和AP-1转录活性,降低炎症因子表达,从而缓解炎症,为三峡阳菊叶在饲料添加剂中的应用提供参考。

[Abstract]
Objective To evaluate the the anti-inflammatory effect of water extracts from leaves of Three Gorges Yangju (WELTGY) and investigate the molecular mechanisms using a zebrafish inflammatory model. Methods The transgenic zebrafish 3 days post fertilization (3 dpf) were transferred into 6-well plate. Control group (water for embryo culture), model group (water for embryo culture) and WELTGY 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.2 mg/mL groups were set up. After 3 hours of treatment, CuSO4 was added to other groups except the control group, and the final concentration was 20 μmol/L, The migration of inflammatory cells in transgenic strain TG (zlyz: EGFP) zebrafish was observed under fluorescence microscope after 1 h; DCFH-DA reactive oxygen species (ROS) probe was used to stain the AB wild type zebrafish and observe the fluorescence intensity. Real time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA levels of inflammation related genes in wild-type zebrafish. Results Compared with model group, the number of inflammatory cells migrating to the lateral line of zebrafish in 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mg/mL WELTGY groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.01), the fluorescence intensity of zebrafish in 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mg/mL WELTGY groups was significantly decreased, and the ROS content was decreased. Compared with model group, the mRNA expression of PPARγ in 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mg/mL WELTGY groups was significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01), and the mRNA expression of IκBαa and AP-1 was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). The mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, PTGES, MyD88 and COX-2 were significantly decreased (P < 0.01). The mRNA expression of NF-κB in 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mg/mL WELTGY groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05, 0.01). The mRNA expression of IL-12α in 1.6 mg/mL WELTGY group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Conclusion This study verified the anti-inflammatory effect of WELTGY in a zebrafish acute inflammation model. WELTGY could inhibit the release of ROS, activate the expression of PPARγ, inhibit the transcription activities of NF-κB and AP-1, and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors, thus alleviating inflammation. This study provided a reference for the application of Three Gorges Yangju's leaves in feed additives.
