摘要

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common form of inflammatory arthritis. Micheliolide (MCL), a sesquiterpene lactone, is reportedly involved in the alleviation of inflammatory response. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of MCL in the treatment of AS.Mice were randomly divided into five groups: the sham group, the MCL (50 mg/kg) group, the AS model group, the AS + MCL (20 mg/kg) group, and the AS + MCL (50 mg/kg) group. After the addition of the inhibitor celastrol, mice were randomly divided into five groups: the sham group, the AS model group, the AS + MCL (50 mg/kg) group, the AS + Celastrol (1 mg/kg) group, and the AS + Celastrol (1 mg/kg) + MCL (50 mg/kg) group.Compared with the AS model mice, the protein expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-18 were decreased after MCL treatment. The protein expression levels of capase-1 p10, IL-1β p17, NOD-like receptor family and pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1, and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC) were also reduced. The protein expression levels of Interferon (IFN)-γ were down-regulated, but levels of IL-4 were increased. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry revealed that the levels of p-IκB α were up-regulated, while the levels of phosphorylated-p65 were down-regulated. After the addition of celastrol, MCL treatment significantly reduced the levels of p-p65, NLRP3, caspase-1, and ASC. Meanwhile, the levels of IFN-γ were markedly down-regulated, but the levels of IL-4 were enhanced.Our study found that MCL suppressed the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and maintained the balance of Th1/Th2 via regulating NF-κB signaling. Therefore, MCL could potentially be used to treat AS.
