Abstract:
Objective To observe the regulatory effects of Yitangkang on neuroinflammation and polarization of microglia and astrocytes in db/db mice;To explore the its mechanism in the treatment of cognitive impairment in diabetes.Methods Totally 32 db/db mice were randomly divided into model group,liraglutide group,and Yitangkang low-and high-dosage group.Another C57BL/6 mice were taken as blank group,with 8 mice in each group.Yitangkang low-and high-dosage group were given Yitangkang Decoction 15,30 g/kg respectively,the liraglutide group was intraperitoneally injected with liraglutide 200 μg/kg,the blank group and model group were given the same volume of distilled water by gavage,for 5 weeks.FJC staining was used to observe the damage of hippocampal neurons,ELISA was used to detect the content of IL-6 and IL-1β in hippocampal tissue,immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of IL-6,IL-1β,Iba1 and GFAP in hippocampal tissue,the expressions of CD86,CD206,C3,S100A10,NLRP3,Iba1 and GFAP were detected by immunofluorescence,the protein expressions of CD86,CD206,C3,S100A10 and NLRP3 in hippocampal tissue were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the blank group,the FJC positive cells in the model group significantly increased,and the contents of IL-6 and IL-1β significantly increased,the expressions of Iba1,CD86,GFAP and C3 significantly increased,CD206 and S100A10 expressions significantly decreased,NLRP3 protein expression and co-expression with Iba1 and GFAP significantly increased,with statistical significance(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the FJC positive cells in hippocampal tissue of liraglutide group and Yitangkang low-and high-dosage group significantly decreased,the contents of IL-6 and IL-1β significantly decreased,the expressions of Iba1,CD86,GFAP and C3 significantly decreased,the expressions of CD206 and S100A10 significantly increased,the expression of NLRP3 protein and co-expression with Iba1 and GFAP were significantly decreased,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05,P<0.01)except for CD206 in Yitangkang low-dosage group.Conclusion Yitangkang can effectively regulate the expression of NLRP3 in db/db mice,promote the transformation of microglia/astrocytes from M1/A1 type to M2/A2 type,inhibit the inflammatory response,and exert neuroprotective effects.
