软骨寡聚基质蛋白对骨关节炎软骨破坏早期诊断价值的研究

目的 探讨软骨寡聚基质蛋白(COMP)对骨关节炎软骨破坏早期诊断价值.方法 兔右后膝伸直位石膏管型固定法制作骨关节炎模型;形态学方法观察造模不同时期关节病理切片;免疫组织化学方法检测软骨内COMP水平;酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)方法检测血清COMP水平.应用t检验,Pearson相关性分析.结果 ①伸直位石膏管型制动2周,模型关节呈现早期骨关节炎改变,制动6周呈现典型的中晚期骨关节炎特征;②造模前、模型2周、模型6周血清COMP含量分别是[(3.35±0.20)、(3.64±0.18)、(3.96±0.44)μg/L,P均＜0.05];③未造模、模型2周、模型6周关节软骨内COMP表达强度分别是[(2.7±1.8)%,(5.7±0.7)%,(7.6±0.7)%,P均＜0.05];④模型2周血清COMP水平与模型2周组、模型6周组OA病理评分存在线性相关关系(r均＞0.770,P均＜0.05).结论 骨关节炎血清COMP检测对早期诊断骨关节炎软骨破坏具有重要的意义.

Abstract：

Objective To study the diagnostic value of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein for early cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis and assess its value in the prediction of the disease progression.Methods The osteoarthritis animal models were developed by immobilizing the right knees of 18 rabbits in full extension position using plaster East.Knee joint pathological changes at week 2 and 6 were examined for pathological severity evaluation of osteoarthritis.ELISA sandwich method was used to measure the levels of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein(COMP) in serum before and after modeling(at week 2 and 6 respectively) and immunohistolgy method was used to examine the levels of COMP in knee articular cartilage of osteoarthritis animal models.Correlation analysis was performed to demonstrate the relationship between the levels of COMP in the serum and the pathological severity of osteoarthritis.Pearson's test and t-test were used for correlation analysis.Results ①) Osteoarthritis animal models could be successfully developed by immobilizing the right knees of rabbits in full extension position using plaster east for 2 weeks.Early histopathological changes in the articular cartilage could be observed,At week 6,the typical histopathological characteristics could be seen.②With the extension of modeling time,serum COMP levels persistently increased.The serum COMP levels before modeling,at modeling week 2,week 6 were (3.35±0.20),(3.64±0.18),(3.96±0.44) μg/L respectively,the difference was significant (P＜0.05).③ The level of COMP in the articular cartilage of non-osteoarthritis animal models,models at week 2,week 6 were (2.7±1.8 )％ ,(5.7±0.7)％,(7.6±0.7)％ respectively (P＜0.05 for all).④ The level of COMP in the serum was linearily correlated with the pathological severity of osteoarthritis(r＞0.770 for all,and P＜0.05 for all).Conclusion Levels of COMP in the serum can help to make early diagnosis of osteoarthritis,and elevated COMP level can predict the progression of osteoarthritis.
