Chlorogenic Acid Inhibits BAFF Expression in Collagen-Induced Arthritis and Human Synoviocyte MH7A Cells by Modulating the Activation of the NF-κB Signaling Pathway
Figure 1
CGA attenuates the severity of CIA in mice. DBA/1J mice were immunized with 100 μg of type II collagen on day 1. CGA (30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg) and control vehicles (DMSO) were intraperitoneally injected daily from day 28 after the first immunization. Data are expressed as for each group. vs. the vehicle-treated group, vs. the CGA (30 mg/kg)-treated group. (a) Macroscopic observation of the hind feet of normal, vehicle-treated, and CGA-treated mice. (b, c) Intraperitoneal injection with CGA or vehicle from day 28 to day 53; the mean arthritis index (b) and paw thickness (c) were calculated at the indicated time points. (d) Hematoxylin and eosin staining (original magnification was ×10) of paw sections from each group of mice.
