摘要:

目的 探索黄芩苷通过磷脂酰肌醇3激酶(PI3K)/蛋白激酶B(AKT)/内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)通路对脑微出血大鼠神经损伤的保护作用。方法 通过侧脑室注射脂多糖(LPS)法构建脑微出血大鼠模型,并将其分为模型组、黄芩苷组(20 mg/kg)、LY294002组(PI3K抑制剂,10 mg/kg)、黄芩苷+LY294002组(20 mg/kg黄芩苷+10 mg/kg LY294002),同时选择未注射LPS的大鼠作为对照组。评估各组大鼠神经功能;氯化三苯基四氮唑(TTC)染色法评估各组大鼠脑梗死情况;苏木精-伊红(HE)染色观察各组大鼠脑组织病理形态;TUNEL法检测各组大鼠脑组织神经元凋亡情况;酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测各组大鼠脑组织肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素(IL)-1β及IL-17水平;Western blot法检测各组大鼠脑组织B细胞淋巴瘤-2(Bcl-2)、胱天蛋白酶(Caspase)-3、Bcl-2相关X蛋白(Bax)、PI3K、磷酸化(p)-AKT、AKT、p-eNOS、eNOS蛋白表达情况。结果 与对照组比,模型组大鼠神经元稀疏,且细胞数量少、排列紊乱,神经功能评分、脑梗死面积、细胞凋亡率、Bax蛋白表达量、Caspase-3蛋白表达量及TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-17水平增加,而Bcl-2、PI3K、p-AKT、p-eNOS蛋白表达量降低(P<0.05);与模型组比,黄芩苷组大鼠脑组织病理损伤明显改善,神经功能评分、脑梗死面积、细胞凋亡率、Bax蛋白表达量、Caspase-3蛋白表达量及TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-17水平降低,而Bcl-2、PI3K、p-AKT、p-eNOS蛋白表达量增加(P<0.05),但LY294002组大鼠脑组织损伤进一步加重,神经功能评分、脑梗死面积、细胞凋亡率、Bax、Caspase-3蛋白表达量及TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-17水平升高,而Bcl-2、PI3K、p-AKT及p-eNOS蛋白表达量减少(P<0.05);在黄芩苷处理的基础上使用LY294002进行干预可逆转黄芩苷对脑微出血大鼠上述指标的改善作用(P<0.05)。结论 黄芩苷可能通过激活PI3K/AKT/eNOS通路对脑微出血大鼠神经损伤发挥保护作用。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the protective effect of baicalin on nerve damage in rats with cerebral microbleeds through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) pathway. Methods The rat model of cerebral microbleeds was established by intraventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and rats were separated into the model group, the baicalin group (20 mg/kg), the LY294002 group (PI3K inhibitor, 10 mg/kg) and the baicalin+LY294002 group (20 mg/kg baicalin and 10 mg/kg LY294002). Rats without LPS injection were served as the control group. The nerve function was evaluated in five groups of rats. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was used to evaluate the cerebral infarction status. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of brain tissue of rats in each group. TUNEL method was used to detect neuronal apoptosis in brain tissue. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to measure tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in brain tissue of rats in each group. In addition, Western blot assay was used to measure B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Caspase-3, Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), PI3K, phosphorylated (p)-AKT, AKT, p-eNOS and eNOS proteins in brain tissue of rats. Results Compared with the control group, neurons in the model group was sparse, with fewer cells and disordered arrangement, the nerve function score, infarct area, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-17, apoptosis rate, Bax and Caspase-3 proteins were increased, and Bcl-2, PI3K, p-AKT and p-eNOS proteins were decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the baicalin group showed clear improvement in brain pathological damage, the nerve function score, infarct area, apoptosis rate, Bax and Caspase-3 proteins, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-17 were decreased, while protein expressions of Bcl-2, PI3K, p-AKT and p-eNOS were increased (P<0.05). However, the brain tissue damage of the LY294002 group was further aggravated, and the nerve function score, infarct area, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-17, apoptosis rate and the expression of apoptosis proteins Bax and Caspase-3 were increased, the Bcl-2, PI3K, p-AKT and p-eNOS proteins were decreased (P<0.05). Intervention with LY294002 on basis of baicalin treatment could reverse the improvement effect of baicalin on the above indicators in rats with cerebral microbleeds (P<0.05). Conclusion Baicalin may exert a protective effect on nerve damage in rats with cerebral microbleeds by activating PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway.
