Effects of Wenhua Juanbi Recipe on m6A methylation in collagen⁃induced arthritis rats
Objective,2,To study the effects of Wenhua Juanbi Recipe (WJR) on inflammation and m6A methylation in rats with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).,Methods,2,Fifty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: a normal group (,n,=10) and a model group (,n,=40). CIA model was established by intracaudal multi-point injection of emulsifier. The model was evaluated by volumetric method (drainage volume) and arthritis index (AI) scoring method to assess the degree of toe swelling and joint inflammation, and the model with toe swelling,>, 1.6 mL and AI score≥4 was considered as successful. Thirty successfully modeled CIA rats were randomly divided into a model group (,n,=10), a WJR group (TCM group, ,n,=10) and a MTX group (,n,=10). The TCM group was administered with WJR at a dose of 22.9 g·kg,-1,·d,-1,; and the MTX group was given methotrexate suspension (MTX) at a dose of 0.78 mg·kg,-1, once a week. The normal group and the CIA group were given equal amounts of 0.9% NaCl solution once a day. The synovial membrane of the knee of rats was taken from each group after 30 days of treatment. The synovial pathology was examined by HE staining. The gene expressions of ,Mettl3,, ,Mettl14,, ,Fto,, ,Alkbh5,, ,Ythdf1, and ,Ythdf2 ,and the expression levels of joint inflammatory factors ,TNF,-,α,, ,IL,-,1β, and ,IL,-,6 ,genes in synovial membrane were detected by real-time PCR. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of Mettl3 and Fto proteins.,Results,2,Compared with the condition in the normal group, the toe swelling degree and AI score of rats in the model group increased significantly, and in the model group the expressions of ,Mettl3,, ,Mettl14,, ,Fto,, ,Alkbh5, and ,Ythdf1, genes increased, the expression of ,Ythdf2 ,gene decreased, the expressions of ,TNF,-,α,, ,IL,-,1β, and ,IL,-,6 ,genes increased, and the expressions of Mettl3 and Fto proteins increased (,P,<,0.05). Compared with the condition in the model group, the toe swelling degree and AI score of rats in the WJR group and the MTX group decreased gradually with time, and in the WJR group and the MTX group the expressions of ,Mettl3,, ,Mettl14,, ,Fto,, ,Alkbh5, and ,Ythdf1, decreased, the expression of ,Ythdf2 ,increased, the expressions of ,TNF,-,α,, ,IL,-,1β, and ,IL,-,6 ,genes decreased, and the expressions of Mettl3 and Fto proteins decreased (,P,<,0.05). Compared with the condition in the MTX group, the expressions of ,Mettl3,, ,Mettl14,, ,Fto,, ,Alkbh5, and ,Ythdf1, decreased, the expression of ,Ythdf2, gene increased, the expressions of ,TNF,-,α,, ,IL,-,1β, and ,IL,-,6, genes decreased, and the expressions of Mettl3 and Fto proteins decreased in the WJR group (,P,<,0.05).,Conclusion,2,Wenhua Juanbi Recipe may have a therapeutic effect on CIA by affecting the m6A methylation to exert anti-inflammatory effects.
