Effect of Jianwei Shoutai Pill (减味寿胎丸) on Lipid Peroxidation and Ferroptosis Protein Expression in Decidua of Abortion Rats
Forty-eight male rats were bred in cages with 48 female rats at the ratio of 1∶1 for two weeks; and day 0 of pregnancy was when the vaginal suppository was found. Forty rats with successful pregnancy were randomized into normal group, model group, dydrogesterone group and JSP group with ten rats in each group. From day 0 of pregnancy, rats in the normal group and model group were given 10 ml/(kg·d) pure water by gavage; the JSP group was administered with 1.8 g/(kg·d) JSP by gavage, and the dydrogesterone group was given 5.4 mg/(kg·d) didroxyprogesterone by gavage; all the administrations were given once daily for 13 days. The abortion rat model was established in the model group, dydrogesterone group and JSP group by gavage with 10 ml/kg mifepristone solution at a concentration of 1.2 mg/ml on day 13 of pregnancy, and decidual tissues were collected on day 14 of pregnancy. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of decidual tissue, and to detect the levels of lipid peroxidation-related indexes including reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), malondialdehyde (MDA)), as well as the content of total iron (Fe
(Ⅱ+Ⅲ)
). Prussian blue (Perls) staining was used to detect the distribution of iron ion in the decidua tissue, and the immunohistochemistry and Western Blot method were used to detect the protein distribution and relative expressions of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) which could reflect ferroptosis.
Results
2
The HE staining results indicated that the decidual tissue of the rats in the normal group was rich in blood vessels, and the decidual cells were tightly arranged; the decidual tissue in the model group had less blood vessels, with cytoplasmic edema and partially missing nucleus; the dydrogesterone group and the JSP group had improved pathological results of decidual tissue than the model group. Compared to the normal group, the model group had significantly lower GSH and GPX levels, and GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein expression, as well as higher Fe
(Ⅱ+Ⅲ)
content, MDA level and TFR1 protein expression in decidual tissue (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). Compared to the model group, the JSP group significantly increased the GSH, GPX levels, GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein expression, and reduced the MDA level, Fe
(Ⅱ+Ⅲ)
content and TFR1 protein expression (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01); the dydrogesterone group had higher GPX level and lower Fe
(II+III)
content (
P
<0.01). There were no significant differences between dydrogesterone group and JSP group in all indexes.
Conclusion
2
JSP may reduce lipid peroxidation and excessive iron accumulation to inhibit ferroptosis in the decidual tissue, thereby preventing abortion ultimately.
