Effects of Chiropractics on Intervertebral Disk Extracell Matrix and Metabolic Enzymes in Rats with Cervical Spondylosis
Objective To observe the effect of chiropractics on intervertebral disk extracell matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-1
MMP-3
MMP-13
cellular collagen typeⅡ(COL-Ⅱ)
tissue inhibitor 1 of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1)and extracellular matrix(ECM)in the rats with cervical spondylosis
so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of cervical spondylosis.Methods A total of 40 SD rats were randomized into a sham group
a model group
a chiropractics group and a mobic group
8rats in each one.The model was established by static-dynamic imbalance method.The rats in the chiropractics group were treated with chiropractic therapy for two courses
14 times a day and 14 days as a course.The rats in the mobic group were treated with intragastric administration of mobic.The expression of MMP-1
MMP-3
MMP-13
COL-Ⅱ and TIMP-1 in the intervertebral disk tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry
and the protein expression of ECM was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with those in the sham group
the expressions of MMP-1
MMP-3
MMP-13 in the model group increased(all P<0.05)
and COL-Ⅱ
TIMP-1 decreased(both P<0.05).Compared with those in the model group
the expressions of MMP-1
MMP-3
MMP-13 in the chiropractics group and the mobic group decreased(all P <0.05)
and COL-Ⅱ
TIMP-1 increased(all P<0.05).Compared with that in the sham group
the expression of ECM protein in the model group decreased(P<0.05).Compared with that in the model group
the expression of ECM protein in the chiropractics group and the mobic group increased(both P<0.05).Conclusion Chiropractics may improve the degeneration in rats with cervical spondylosis by regulating intervertebral disc ECM system and relevant metabolic enzymes.
