摘要:

为了探究人参皂苷Rg1对阿尔茨海默症(Alzheimer's disease, AD)大鼠模型脑源性神经营养因子/酪氨酸激酶受体B(BDNF-TrkB)信号通路的影响,选取75只SD大鼠随机分为空白对照组、模型组、低剂量Rg1组、中剂量Rg1组及高剂量Rg1组,每组15只。取各组大鼠脑组织制备脑片,除空白对照组外,其他组加入Aβ1-42试剂制备AD模型,低剂量Rg1组、中剂量Rg1组和高剂量Rg1组分别使用60、120、240 μmol·L-1 Rg1处理。采用HE染色观察脑组织病理损伤,TUNEL染色检测脑组织细胞凋亡,比色法测定脑片中乙酰胆碱(acetylcholine,Ach)、5-羟色胺(5-hydroxytryptamine,5-HT)水平和乙酰胆碱酯酶(acetylcholinesterase,TChE)活力,蛋白质印迹法检测各组脑片中切割后半胱氨酸蛋白酶-3(Cleaved Caspase-3)、B淋巴细胞瘤-2(B cell lymphoma-2,Bcl-2)、Bcl-2相关蛋白X(Bcl-2 associated X protein,Bax)及BDNF-TrkB信号通路相关蛋白表达情况。与空白对照组相比,模型组脑组织细胞凋亡数、Cleaved Caspase-3、Bax/Bcl-2及TChE水平显著增加,5-HT、Ach、BDNF及TrkB蛋白表达量显著降低(P<0.05);与模型组相比,低剂量Rg1组、中剂量Rg1组和高剂量Rg1组脑组织细胞凋亡数、Cleaved Caspase-3、Bax/Bcl-2及TChE水平显著降低,5-HT、Ach、BDNF及TrkB蛋白表达量显著增加(P<0.05),且具有剂量依赖性。人参皂苷Rg1可有效保护阿尔茨海默症模型大鼠脑组织,抑制神经细胞凋亡,其作用机制可能与激活BDNF-TrkB信号通路相关。通过分析人参皂苷Rg1对AD大鼠模型的保护机制,以期为人参皂苷Rg1用于治疗AD奠定理论基础。

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to explore the effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on brain-derived neurotrophic factor/tyrosine kinase receptor B (BDNF-TrkB) signaling pathways in rats with Alzheimer's disease (AD). A total of 75 SD rats were enrolled and randomly divided into blank control group, model group, low-dose Rg1 group, medium-dose Rg1 group and high-dose Rg1 group, with 15 rats in each group. The brain tissues in each group were collected to prepare brain slices. Except blank control group, Aβ1-42 reagent was added into each group to prepare AD models. The low-dose Rg1 group, medium-dose Rg1 group and high-dose Rg group were treated with 60, 120 and 240 μmol·L-1 Rg1, respectively. The pathological damage of brain tissues was observed by HE staining. The apoptosis of brain tissues was detected by TUNEL staining. The levels of acetylcholine (Ach) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and activity of acetylcholinesterase (TChE) in brain slices were detected by colorimetry. The expressions of cleaved cysteine proteinase-3 (Cleaved Caspase-3), B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway related proteins in brain slices were detected by Western blot. Compared with blank control group, the number of brain tissues apoptosis, levels of Cleaved Caspase-3, Bax/Bcl-2 and TChE were significantly increased in model group, and 5-HT, Ach, BDNF and TrkB were significantly decreased in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the number of brain tissues apoptosis, levels of Cleaved Caspase-3, Bax/Bcl-2 and TChE were significantly decreased in low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose Rg1 group, and 5-HT, Ach, BDNF and TrkB were significantly increased in low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose Rg1 group (P<0.05), which showing concentration-dependence. Ginsenoside Rg1 can effectively protect the brain tissue of AD rats and inhibit neuron apoptosis, which the mechanism of action may be related to activating BDNF-TrkB signaling pathways. By analyzing the protective mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 on AD rat model, the paper was expected to lay a theoretical foundation for the use of ginsenoside Rg1 in the treatment of AD in this study.
