Effects of Modified Xiaoyao Powder (逍遥散加减方) on Hypothalamic Dopaminergic Neurons Apoptosis and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Hyperprolactinemia Model Rats with Liver Constraint and Spleen Deficiency Syndrome
(逍遥散加减方, MXP) in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) with liver constraint and spleen deficiency syndrome.
Methods
2
A total of 126 SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, bromocriptine mesylate group, high-, medium- and low-dose MXP groups, with 21 rats in each group. Except for the blank group, all other groups used intraperitoneal injection of metoclopramide plus chronic compound stress method to develop the HPRL model with liver constraint and spleen deficiency syndrome, taking a total modeling period of 21 days. Since the 22nd day of the experiment, the blank group and the model group were given intragastric administration of 4 ml of normal saline, and the bromocriptine mesylate group was given 0.001 g/(kg·d) of bromocriptine mesylate tablets by gavage; MXP at the dosage of 60, 30, and 15 g/(kg·d) was administered by gavage in the high-, medium- and low-dose group, respectively. The administration period was 14 days for all groups. After weighing the rats on the next day of last administration, the number of hypothalamic tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive cells was determined by immunofluorescence; the serum prolactin (PRL) content was detected by ELISA; the protein content of activated cysteine protease 3 (Cleaved-Caspase3) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) in the hypothalamus was detected by Western blotting. The apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons was detected by flow cytometry after primary culture for 1 week.
Results
2
Compared to those in the blank group, the body weight and the number of TH positive cells in the model group decreased, while the content of PRL, the expression of CHOP and Cleaved-Caspase3 proteins in the hypothalamus tissue increased significantly, as well as the apoptosis rate of dopaminergic neurons (
P
<0.01). Compared to those in the model group, the serum PRL content significantly decreased while the number of TH positive cells increased in the bromocriptine mesylate group and high-, medium-, and low-dose MXP groups; the expression of CHOP protein decreased in the bromocriptine mesylate group and the high-dose MXP group; the expression of Cleaved-Caspase3 protein in the bromocriptine mesylate group and MXP all dose groups also decreased; the apoptosis rate of dopaminergic neurons in the bromocriptine mesylate group increased significantly, while that of MXP all dose groups decreased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). Compared to those in the medium-dose MXP group, the serum PRL level in the high- and low-dose groups significantly increased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). Compared to those in the bromocriptine mesylate group and the high-dose MXP group, the expression of CHOP protein in the medium- and low-dose groups increased, and the Cleaved-Caspase3 protein in the low-dose group decreased (
P
<0.01).
Conclusion
2
MXP may alleviate dopaminergic neuron damage in HPRL rat model by inhibiting CHOP-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress-related apoptosis pathway.
