简介:摘要:目的 通过建立骨关节炎模型探讨整合素pI和GIT 1对软骨细胞的影响,及二者之间的调控关系。对临床上骨性关节炎的治疗起指导作用。 方法 采用约一周龄的年乳大鼠20只,用定量PCR和Western Blotting检测对照组、pcDNA3.1空载体转染组、pcDNA3.1-GIT 1过表达组、pcDNA3 . I -integrin-p1过表达组、integrin-p 1 siRNA组和NC siRNA组中,integrin-p1和GIT1的mRNA和蛋白质的表达水平,来判断integrin-p1和GIT1之间的调控关系。结论 integrin-p1可以调控GIT1的表达,GTI1可能是位于integrin-pI下游的一个关键分子。
