Mendedahkan Kesan Rawatan Ginsenoside Rg3 terhadap Kecederaan NPC yang disebabkan oleh IL-1β
Pengenalan
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a frequently seen orthopedic disease, which is accompanied with excessive apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) and degeneration of extracellular matrix (ECM), with main symptoms of pain and numbness in the waist, legs and feet, as well as inflammation on and around the surface of bone tissues. Strikingly, ginsenoside Rg3, the main active ingredient of ginseng, has been attested to exhibit anti-catabolic and anti-apoptotic effects in IL-1β-treated human NPCs and IDD rats by inactivating the p38 MAPK pathway.The risk factors for IDD
IDD is generally associated with risk factors such as aging, excessive exercise, working environment, and genetics. As one ages, the amount of water in the body and in the intervertebral discs will be reduced accordingly. Intervertebral discs that lack moisture will lose their elastic function and become hard. Once there is any stimulation or pressure, the intervertebral disc may crack, leading to intervertebral disc injury. For instance, the mechanical trauma caused by excessive exercise and work may accelerate the fragility of disc and exacerbate IDD.Anti-catabolic and anti-apoptotic effects of ginsenoside Rg3 in IL-1β-treated human NPCs and IDD rats
Ginsenoside Rg3 plays an anti-apoptotic role in IL-1β-treated human NPCs and IDD rats, as evidenced by the down-regulation of pro-apoptosis protein Bax and up-regulation of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 in IL-1β-stimulated NPCs and IDD model rats. Besides, ginsenoside Rg3 represses ECM degradation in IL-1β-stimulated NPCs and intervertebral disc tissues of IDD rats, as attested by the decreased expression of ECM degradation-related factors MMPs (MMP2 and MMP3) and ADAMTSs (Adamts4, and Adamts5).

Ginsenoside Rg3 reduces apoptosis and catabolism in IDD rats.
Alleviation of ginsenoside Rg3 in IDD via p38 MAPK pathway
Ginsenoside Rg3 can alleviate NPC degeneration, recover the arrangement of annulus fibrous, and preserve more proteoglycan matrix via inactivating p38 MAPK pathway. In vitro, the fluorescence intensity of p38 is enhanced in IL-1β-stimulated NPCs, yet ginsenoside Rg3 offsets this promoting effect. In vivo, paras p38 yang terfosforilasi meningkat dalam NPC dan tisu cakera intervertebral tikus IDD, manakala ginsenoside Rg3 berfungsi secara songsang.

Kesimpulan
The anti-catabolic and anti-apoptotic effects of ginsenoside Rg3 in IL-1β treated human disc nucleus pulposus cells and in a rat model of disc degeneration are accomplished by inactivating the MAPK pathway, providing new clues on the treatment of IDD.Rujukan
