Objective: To investigate the analgesic effect of esketamine(S-KET) on osteoarthritis rats by regulating Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway. Methods: 10 rats were randomly selected as sham operation group(SH group), and other rats were used to construct the model of osteoarthritis(OA), the rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into Mod group(model group), L-S-KET group(10 mg·kg-1·d-1), M-S-KET group(20 mg·kg-1·d-1), H-S-KET group(40 mg·kg-1·d-1), H-S-KET+ML385 group(40 mg·kg-1·d-1 S-KET+30 mg·kg-1·d-1 Nrf2 inhibitor ML385), once a day for 7 days, with 10 SD rats in each group. Mechanical pain threshold(PWT) and thermal pain threshold(PWL) were measured by mechanical pain threshold experiment and thermal pain threshold experiment; the levels of inflammatory factors and pain causing factors were detected by ELISA; HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes of cartilage; Western blotting was used to detect the expression of MMP-3, MMP-13 and Nrf2/HO-1 pathway proteins. Results: The cartilage surface of rats in SH group was smooth without any abnormality, while the cartilage of rats in Mod group was eroded and destroyed, and the number of chondrocytes decreased. Compared with SH group, the OARSI score and interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) levels, matrix metalloproteinase-3(MMP-13) protein levels and prostaglandin E2(PGE2) of rats in Mod group were significantly increased(P<0.05), PWT, PWL values, Nrf2 and HO-1 protein levels decreased greatly(P<0.05); compared with Mod group, the cartilage damage in L-S-KET group, M-S-KET group and H-S-KET group was improved, the OARSI score, IL-1β, TNF-α levels, MMP-3, MMP-13 protein levels and PGE2 content of rats decreased greatly(P<0.05), PWT, PWL values, Nrf2 and HO-1 protein levels increased greatly(P<0.05); S-KET was dose dependent. The cartilage damage, inflammatory factors level and pathway proteins level in H-S-KET+ML385 group were consistent with those in Mod group. Conclusion: S-KET may play an analgesic role in OA rats by regulating Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway. |
