The Effect of Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (香砂六君子汤) on Regulating mTOR/ ghrelin/ GHSR-1a Pathway in Gastric Antrum Tissue of Functional Dyspepsia Rats with Spleen-stomach Weakness Syndrome
To explore the intervention effect and possible mechanism of
Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction
(香砂六君子汤, XLD) in promoting gastric emptying in rats with functional dyspepsia (FD) of spleen-stomach weakness syndrome.
Methods
2
Sixty suckling SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, mosapride group, low-, medium- and high-dose XLD groups, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the blank group, the rats in the other groups were gavaged with iodoacetamide (IA) and sucrose solution and administered with hunger diet plus swimming exhaustion to replicate the FD rat model of spleen-stomach weakness. After the model was successfully replicated, 12, 6 and 3 g/(kg·d) of XLD and 1.35 mg/(kg·d) of mosapride citrate tablets were given to the corresponding high-, medium and low-dose XLD groups and mosapride group by gavage, repectively, while 10 ml/(kg·d) of normal saline was administered by gavage in the blank group and model group. After two weeks of continuous intervention, the body weight of rats, gastric emptying rate and intestinal propulsion rate in each group were measured. The pathological changes of gastric tissue in each group were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), gastric growth hormone releasing hormone (ghrelin), growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR-1a), and c-kit protein expression in gastric antrum and plasma acylated gastric growth hormone-releasing hormone (Acly-ghrelin) were detected.
Results
2
Compared to those in the blank group, the body weight of rats, gastric emptying rate, intestinal propulsion rate, the levels of ghrelin, GHSR-1a and c-kit protein expression in the gastric antrum tissue, and plasma Acly-ghrelin level significantly decreased, while the mTOR protein expression increased in the model group (
P
<0.05). Compared to those in the model group, the body weight, gastric emptying rate, intestinal propulsion rate and the levels of ghrelin, GHSR-1a and c-kit protein expression in gastric antrum tissue and plasma Acly-ghrelin of rats in the high- and medium-dose XLD group and mosapride group significantly increased, while the level of mTOR protein significantly decreased (
P
<0.05). Compared to the mosapride group, the high-dose XLD group had increased ghrelin protein expression in the gastric antrum tissue and decreased mTOR protein expression (
P
<0.05
).
HE staining showed that the pathological morphology of the gastric tissues of rats in each group was normal, and the glands did not atrophy, with no inflammatory cell infiltration.
Conclusion
2
Medium- and high-dose XLD can significantly improve gastric emptying in FD rats with spleen-stomach weakness. The mechanism may be related to the positive regulation of mTOR/ ghrelin/ GHSR-1a signaling pathway by XLD.
