Abstract

Tripterine, also known as celastrol, is a main natural ingredient in Tripterygium wilfordii. Tripterine has a variety of pharmacological functions, and the therapeutic potential of tripterine in many kinds of inflammation-linked diseases has been revealed. However, the function of tripterine on osteoarthritis still remains unclear. The objective of this study was to study the function of tripterine (TPR) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-injured chondrocyte. ATDC5 cells were treated with tripterine after LPS stimulation and then cell survival, the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the expression of chondrogenic differentiation-associated proteins were assessed by performing CCK-8, flow cytometry, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blot. Moreover, the expression of miR-223 and core factors in PI3K/AKT and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling was tested by RT-qPCR/Western blot. LPS stimulation significantly reduced ATDC5 cells viability, induced apoptosis, and increased the release of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Tripterine protected ATDC5 cells against LPS-induced chondrocyte loss and the release of IL-6 an...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.
