目的观察补肾益髓(BSYS)方及其拆方补肾(BS)和化痰活血(HTHX)方对实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)小鼠脑和脊髓中β-淀粉样前体蛋白(β-APP)和微管相关蛋白-2(MAP-2)的作用。方法 56只雌性C57BL/6小鼠随机分为正常对照组(NC)、模型组(MO)、醋酸泼尼松组(PA)、梓醇组(CA)、补肾益髓组(BSYS)、补肾组(BS)和化痰活血组(HTHX),每组8只。对照药给予PA(6 mg/kg),CA(40 mg/kg);BSYS、BS和HTHX组分别以3.02 g,1.44 g和1.57 g生药/kg给药。NC及MO组以等量蒸馏水代替。每日1次,连续灌胃40 d。小鼠发病第25日(急性期)和第40日(缓解期)取脑和脊髓,采用免疫荧光(IF)法检测β-APP表达,免疫组化(IHC)法检测MAP-2的表达。结果发病第25日和第40日,MO组小鼠脑β-APP表达较NC组显著上调(P〈0.001),而MAP-2表达则较NC组明显下调(P〈0.01或P〈0.001),与MO组比较,各治疗组(PA、CA、BSYS、BS和HTHX组)均可明显下调β-APP蛋白表达(P〈0.05或P〈0.01),上调MAP-2表达(P〈0.05或P〈0.01)。其中发病第25日小鼠脑β-APP表达PA组效果优于CA、BS及HTHX组(P〈0.05)。各组小鼠脊髓内β-APP、MAP-2表达变化趋势与脑相似。结论 BSYS方及其拆方均能减轻轴突损伤及促进其修复,尤以BSYS全方更为显著。
Objective:To observe effects of Bu Shen Yi Sui(BSYS)and its disassembled formulas,Bu Shen(BS)and Hua Tan Huo Xue(HTHX)formulas on the expression of β-amyloid precursor protein(β-APP)and microtubule-associated protein-2(MAP-2)in the brain and spinal cord of mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE).Methods:Female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control(NC),model(MO),prednisone acetate(PA),catalpol(CA),BSYS,BS and HTHX groups.The mice were received daily gavage administration for 40 days.The protein expression of β-APP and MAP-2 in the brains and spinal cords of mice were measured by immunofluorescence(IF)and immunohistochemistry(IHC)respectively on Day 25 and Day 40 after immunization.Results:Compared with MO group,BSYS,BS and HTHX formulas significantly reduced the expression of β-APP in brains and spinal cords of mice(P〈0.05 or P〈0.01),meanwhile,significantly increased MAP-2(P〈0.05 or P〈0.01).Conclusion:Both BSYS and its disassembled formulas can relieve axonal injury and promote its repair,especially in the BSYS formula.
