Abstract
Objective To observe the effect of acupotomy on the expressions of p16
(Ink4a)
and p21(Ink4a) and p21
(Waf1/Cip1)
in knee osteoarthritis(KOA) rabbits
so as to analyze whether acupotomy can treat KOA by inhibiting the cellular senescence of chondrocytes. Methods Twenty-four New Zealand male rabbits were randomly divided into normal
model
acupotomy and electroacupuncture(EA) groups
with 6 rabbits in each group. The KOA model was established by left hindlimb straightening fixation. After modeling
rabbits in the acupotomy group were treated with acupotomy loosening therapy on high stress points around the affected knee joints such as tendons attachment points of vastus medialis
vastus lateralis
rectus femoris
biceps femoris and pes anserine bursa
once a week for 3 weeks. In the EA group
“Xuehai”(SP10)
“Liangqiu”(ST34)
“Neixiyan”(EX-LE4) and “Waixiyan”(ST35) on the affected hindlimb were selected for EA treatment(3 mA
2 Hz/100 Hz)
20 min each time
once every other day for 3 weeks. Before and after treatments
the knee Lequesne MG score and passive range of motion(PROM) of the affected knee joint were evaluated. After the treatments
the expressions of p16(Waf1/Cip1) in knee osteoarthritis(KOA) rabbits
so as to analyze whether acupotomy can treat KOA by inhibiting the cellular senescence of chondrocytes. Methods Twenty-four New Zealand male rabbits were randomly divided into normal

20 min each time

the knee Lequesne MG score and passive range of motion(PROM) of the affected knee joint were evaluated. After the treatments
the expressions of p16
(Ink4a)
and p21(Ink4a) and p21
(Waf1/Cip1)
in the cartilage tissue of the affected knee joint were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot respectively. Results Before and after treatment
compared with the normal group
the Lequesne MG score was significantly increased(P
<
0.01)
the PROM was significantly decreased(P
<
0.01) in the model group. After treatment
compared with the normal group
the positive expression and protein expression levels of p16(Waf1/Cip1) in the cartilage tissue of the affected knee joint were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot respectively. Results Before and after treatment
compared with the normal group
the Lequesne MG score was significantly increased(P
<
0.01)
the PROM was significantly decreased(P
<
0.01) in the model group. After treatment
compared with the normal group
the positive expression and protein expression levels of p16
(Ink4a)
and p21(Ink4a) and p21
(Waf1/Cip1)
were significantly increased(P
<
0.01) in the model group; compared with the model group
the Lequesne MG score was significantly decreased(P

the positive expression and protein expression levels of p16
(Ink4a)
and p21(Ink4a) and p21
(Waf1/Cip1)
were significantly decreased(P
<

P
<
0.05) in the acupo-tomy and EA groups; compared with the EA group
the Lequesne MG score was decreased(P
<

the PROM was increased(P

the positive expression and protein expression levels of p16(Waf1/Cip1) were significantly decreased(P

indicating that acupotomy therapy may alleviate cartilage degeneration by inhibiting chondrocyte premature cellular senescence to treat KOA.
