Effects of Shenfuhuang Formula (参附黄配方) on Potential Targets of Action in the Brain Tissue of Sepsis Model Mice:Transcriptomics-Based Exploration
(参附黄配方) in prevention and treatment of epsis-associated encephalopathy from the perspective of brain genomics.
Methods
2
C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham surgery group, sepsis group, and
Shenfuhuang
group, with 20 mice in each group. The sepsis group and
Shenfuhuang
group were induced to develop sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) procedure. At 4 hours after mod
elling,
Shenfuhuang
group were gavaged with 2.5 g/(kg·d) of
Shenfuhuang Formula
, 0.5 ml each time, at 12 hours intervals, for a total of 4 times after modelling. Sepsis group and sham surgery group were given 0.5 ml of purified water orally. At 48 hours after modeling, the transcriptome sequencing was used to explore the differential gene expression in the effects of
Shenfuhuang Formula
on the brain regions of septic mice, and real-time PCR and ELISA were later used to further validate the differential gene and proteins expression.
Results
2
A total of 4605 genes were differentially expressed in
Shenfuhuang
group compared with sepsis group, of which 2353 genes were up-regulated and 2252 genes were down-regulated. According to the results of previous publications, six key genes were screened, including serine/threonine-protein kinase (
), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 20 (
Adamts20
), lymphocyte antigen 86 (
Ly86
), and E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (
Traip
). Further genetic and protein validation revealed that, compared to the sham surgery group, the mRNA levels and corresponding protein levels of
Nek1
,
Mag
,
Tek
,
Adamts20
,
Ly86
, and
Traip
in the brain tissue of septic mice significantly reduced (
P
<0.05). In comparison to the sepsis group,
Shenfuhuang
group showed significantly increased mRNA levels and corresponding protein levels of
Nek1
,
Mag
,
Tek
,
Adamts20
,
Ly86
, and
Traip
(
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
The potential thera
peutic targets of
Shenfuhuang Formula
for treating sepsis-associated encephalopathy may be related to the
Nek1
,
Mag
,
Tek
,
Adamts20
,
Ly86
, and
Traip
genes and their encoded proteins.
