Methods: Rat models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were established by collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). The rats were then administered with low, medium and high doses of Simiao decoction (3.15 g/kg, 6.3 g/kg, 12.6 g/kg) and vitamin D (25 ng/kg) by gavage. The administration period was 28 days, and the general conditions of the rats were recorded. Observation of pathological changes in ankle joint tissues by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining method. The contents of interleukin-17 (IL-17), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the serum of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expressions of VDR, CYP27B1, CYP24A1, Foxp3, and RORγt in the synovial tissue of rat joints were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR). Results: Compared with the control group, the serum IL-17 content level in the model group significantly increased (P 0.05), while the serum IL-10 and TGF-β content levels significantly decreased (P 0.05);the mRNA expression levels of CYP24A1 and RORγt in the synovial membrane significantly increased (P 0.05), and the mRNA expression levels of VDR, CYP27B1, and Foxp3 significantly decreased (P 0.05). Compared with the model group, the serum IL-17 level in the vitamin D group and the high-dose Simiao decoction group significantly decreased (P 0.05), the serum IL-10 level in the vitamin D group and the medium and high-dose Simiao decoction groups significantly increased (P 0.05), and the serum TGF-β level in the vitamin D group and the high-dose Simiao decoction group significantly increased (P 0.05);the mRNA expression levels of VDR, CYP27B1, and Foxp3 in the synovial membrane in the vitamin D group and the medium and high-dose Simiao decoction groups significantly increased (P 0.05), the mRNA expression level of CYP24A1 in the synovial membrane in the vitamin D group and the low, medium, and high-dose Simiao decoction groups significantly decreased (P 0.05), and the mRNA expression level of RORγt in the synovial membrane in the vitamin D group and the medium- and high-dose Simiao decoction groups significantly decreased (P 0.05). Conclusion: Simiao decoction exerts its intervention effect on RA by regulating the mRNA expression of VDR, CYP27B1, CYP24A1, Foxp3, and RORγt in the synovial membrane and improving the levels of serum IL-17, IL-10, and TGF-β.展开更多
