摘要:

目的:基于信号转导与转录激活因子3STAT3/生存素(Survivin)信号通路研究银屑平丸通过调节中性粒细胞外诱捕网(NETs)对银屑病样(Ps)小鼠的改善作用及其机制。方法:将48只小鼠随机分成6组:空白组、对照组、阿维A组、银屑平丸高剂量组、银屑平丸中剂量组及银屑平丸低剂量组,每组8只。每日在小鼠背部脱毛区域外涂咪喹莫特乳膏(IMQ)以建立银屑病样皮损,同时分别给予相应的药物灌胃干预,连续给药7 d。实验期间每天记录小鼠背部皮损变化,采用银屑病皮损面积和严重程度指数(PASI)进行量化评估;取皮损组织进行HE染色观察组织病理学改变;采用免疫荧光染色检测瓜氨酸化组蛋白H3Cit-H3)的表达;通过蛋白质印迹法(Western blotting)检测STAT3p-STAT3Survivin蛋白的表达水平;运用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测定血清中髓过氧化物酶(MPO)、中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶(NE)和NETs的含量。结果:与空白组比较,对照组小鼠背部皮肤呈现出显著的银屑病样改变,如表皮角化不全、棘层厚度减少、真皮乳头水肿伴微血管扩张充血等典型特征;而阿维A组及不同剂量银屑平丸干预组病理损伤程度均有所缓解;相较于空白组,造模后的对照组、阿维A组及不同剂量银屑平丸干预组小鼠PASI评分均显著升高(P<0.01)。同时皮损中的Cit-H3p-STAT3Survivin及血清中MPONENETs水平均显著上调(P<0.01);与对照组比较,阿维A组及银屑平丸各剂量组小鼠PASI评分均降低,且上述各指标表达水平明显下调(P<0.05),但各组STAT3表达水平差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:银屑平丸可显著改善Ps小鼠模型的皮损症状,其治疗作用可能与抑制NETs生成有关。此外,STAT3/Survivin信号通路的激活可能参与了银屑病的发病过程。

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Yinxieping Wan on psoriasis (Ps) in mice by regulating neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) through the STAT3/Survivin signaling pathway. Methods: Totally 48 mice were randomly allocated into six groups, including blank group, control group, acitretin group, high-dose Yinxieping Wan group, medium--dose Yinxieping Wan group, and low-dose Yinxieping Wan group, 8 mice in each group. Psoriasis-like skin lesions were induced by daily topical application of imiquimod (IMQ) cream on depilated dorsal skin for 7 consecutive days, with simultaneous intragastric administration of corresponding treatments. Dorsal lesions were daily evaluated using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). Skin lesions were collected for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining to assess histopathological changes. Citrullinated histone H3 (Cit-H3) expression was detected by immunofluorescence staining. Western blotting measured STAT3, p-STAT3 and Survivin protein levels. Serum myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil elastase (NE) and NETs concentrations were quantified via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Compared with the blank group, the control group exhibited significant psoriasis-like features including parakeratosis, reduced epidermal thickness, dermal papillary edema, and dilated/congested capillaries. Pathological damage was alleviated in acitretin group, high-dose Yinxieping Wan group, medium-dose Yinxieping Wan group, and low-dose Yinxieping Wan group. PASI scores significantly increased in control group, acitretin group, high--dose Yinxieping Wan group, medium-dose Yinxieping Wan group, and low-dose Yinxieping Wan group versus blank group (P<0.01). Lesional Cit-H3, p-STAT3 and Survivin expression, along with serum MPO, NE, and NETs levels, were markedly elevated in model mice (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, acitretin group, high-dose Yinxieping Wan group, medium-dose Yinxieping Wan group, and low-dose Yinxieping Wan group showed reduced PASI scores and downregulated expression of all measured biomarkers (P<0.05), though STAT3 levels remained unchanged across groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Yinxieping Wan can ameliorate psoriatic skin lesions in mice, potentially by inhibiting NETs formation. Activation of the STAT3/Survivin signaling pathway may contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis.
