Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the mechanisms through which Duhuo (独活)-Sangjisheng (桑寄生) components ameliorate compression-induced intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) in SD rats through activating the PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathways. Methods: The core components in the herb pair Duhuo-Sangjisheng were identified. SD rats were randomized into a normal control group, a sham group, a model control group, a quercetin (50 mg/kg) + osthole (20 mg/kg) + columbianadin (20 mg/kg) group, a quercetin (100 mg/kg) + osthole (40 mg/kg) + columbianadin (40 mg/kg) group, and a mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant (3 mg/kg) group, with 10 rats in each group. A rat model of IVDD was established by tail intervertebral disc bending and compression. X-ray imaging was employed to evaluate the modeling results. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and Safranin O-Fast Green staining were employed to observe the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration. Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was employed to assess apoptosis levels in the nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue. The DCFH-DA fluorescence probe and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were utilized to evaluate oxidative stress levels. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the expression levels of proteins related to the PINK1/Parkin and Nrf2 pathways. Results: Compared with the normal control group, the model control group exhibited typical IVDD features, increased apoptotic rate (P<0.01), elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and protein carbonyl levels (P<0.01), declined levels of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) (P<0.01), up-regulated protein levels of BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase 3 (Caspase 3) , Cleaved-caspase 3, Cytochrome c, Beclin1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 subunit II/I (LC3II/I), Parkin, PINK1, P62, and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and down-regulated protein levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) and Nrf2 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model control group, the Chinese medicine component groups and the mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant elamipretide (3 mg/kg) group exhibited varying degrees of alleviation in IVDD, decreased apoptotic rate and ROS levels (P<0.01), lowered MDA and protein carbonyl levels (P<0.05 or P<0.01), elevated T-SOD and GSH-PX levels (P<0.05), down-regulated protein levels of BAX, Cleaved-caspase 3, Cytochrome c, P62, and Keap1 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and up-regulated protein levels of BCL-2, Beclin1, LC3II/I, Parkin, PINK1, and Nrf2 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Among them, the quercetin (100 mg/kg) + osthole (40 mg/kg) + columbianadin (40 mg/kg) group showed the most pronounced therapeutic effects. Conclusion: The Chinese medicine components with the effect of Quzhibuyi (祛止补益) can synergistically modulate both PINK1/Parkin and Nrf2 pathways to inhibit compression-induced apoptosis in NP, thereby delaying the progression of IVDD.
