Abstract
Objective:To investigate effect of Galangin on inflammatory response in autoimmune thyroiditis(AIT)rats by regulating chemokine ligand 2(CCL2)/chemokine receptor 2(CCR2)pathway.Methods:A total of 84 rats were randomly grouped into control group,model group,Galangin low dose group,Galangin medium dose group,Galangin high dose group,selenium yeast tablet group,Galangin high-dose+rat CCL2 recombinant protein(rCCL2)group,with 12 rats in each group.Except for control group,AIT models were constructed in rats of all other groups.After successful modeling,medication was administered once a day for 8 weeks.ELISA was applied to detect levels of thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb),thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb),free thyroxine(FT4),free triiodothyronine(FT3)in rats serum and TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β in thyroid tissue;HE staining for pathological changes in rat thyroid tissue and scoring of inflammation in thyroid tissue;qRT-PCR was applied to detect expressions of CCL2 and CCR2 mRNA in thyroid tissue;Western blot was applied to detect expressions of CCL2 and CCR2 proteins in thyroid tissue.Results:Com-pared with control group,pathological damage to thyroid tissue of rats in model group was severe,inflammation score,levels of TGAb,TPOAb,FT4,FT3,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,expressions of CCL2,CCR2 mRNA and protein were increased(P<0.05);com-pared with model group,pathological damage of thyroid tissue of rats in Galangin low dose group,Galangin medium dose group,Galangin high dose group and selenium yeast tablet group were reduced,inflammation score,levels of TGAb,TPOAb,FT4,FT3,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,expressions of CCL2,CCR2 mRNA and protein were decreased(P<0.05);compared with Galangin high dose group,pathological damage of thyroid tissue in Galangin high dose+rCCL2 group was aggravated,inflammation score,levels of TGAb,TPOAb,FT4,FT3,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,expressions of CCL2,CCR2 mRNA and protein were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Galangin may inhibit inflammatory response of AIT rats by inhibiting CCL2/CCR2 signaling pathway.关键词
