Abstract	Paeoniae alba Radix has been recognized as a valuable herb in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in traditional Chinese medicine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Paeoniflorin (PF), a bioactive glucoside from paeony root, on the rats with adjuvants arthritis (AA) and underlying mechanisms.AA was induced by injecting Complete Freund’s adjuvant (10 mg/ml) into hind paw in male Sprague-Dawley rats.PF (5, 10, 20 mg/kg/d) was orally administered to the rats 14 to 20 days after injection of complete Freund’s adjuvant.Arthritis was evaluated by hind paw swelling, polyarthritis index, immune organ weights, and histological examination. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) activity was assessed by thymocyte proliferation as quantified by the 3-(4, 5-2dimethylthiazal- 2yl) 2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay. The content of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was measured by radioimmunoassay. The levels of IL-6, granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and vascular epidermal growth factor (VEGF) in synovium homogenates were measured by enzyme-linked immuno-absorbent assay (ELISA) respectively. Expression of inhibitory subunits of G protein (G i) and cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) were detected by Western blotting technique.There were significant secondary inflammatory reactions in AA rats, which were accompanied by a decrease in immune organ weights. The administration of PF (10, 20 mg/kg/day, i. g., days 14–20) inhibited the inflammatory response and restored the weight of immune organs of AA rats. Synoviocyte proliferation of AA rats increased significantly, and the levels of IL-1, PGE2, IL-6, VEGF and GM-CSF in synovial homogenates of AA rats were also elevated compared with the normal group. The administration of PF (10, 20 mg/kg/day, i.g., days 14–20) reduced the above changes significantly. Finally, the expression of Gi1, Gi2, Gi3 and COX-2 in synovial homogenates of AA rats were also elevated. The administration of PF reduced Gi expression at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg and decreased COX-2 expression at a dose of 20 mg/kg.PF suppresses rat AA at least partly by inhibiting abnormal proliferation of synoviocytes and the production of IL-1, PGE2, IL-6, VEGF and GM-CSF by synoviocytes and reducing Gi and COX-2 expression in synovium.
