Abstract:
Objective To investigate the intervention effect and mechanism of sinomenine(SIN)on Parkinson's disease(PD)mice based on GSK3 β/Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κ B signaling pathways.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal group,model group,positive drug group(Levodopa,75 mg?kg-1)and SIN low-,medium-and high-dose groups(20,40,80 mg?kg-1),with 8 mice in each group.Mice were intraperitoneally injected with 20 mg?kg-1 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)once a day for 5 days.Intragastric administration was performed 1 hour after injection of MPTP,once a day for 12 days.On the day 11 of administration,the mice were subjected to a pole-climbing experiment,and on the day 12,a rotating rod experiment was performed to test the behavioral changes of the mice.The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-6 were detected by ELISA.The mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in brain tissue were detected by RT-qPCR.The protein expression levels of TH,Nrf2,HO-1,p-GSK3β,GSK3β,p-IκB,IκB,p-NF-κB and NF-κB in brain tissue were detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the automatic turning latency(T-turn)of the model group was significantly prolonged(P＜0.05),and the number of falls was significantly increased(P＜0.001).The expression level of TH protein in brain tissue was significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly increased(P＜0.001).The serum levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The protein expression levels of p-GSK3β/GSK3β,Nrf2 and HO-1 in brain tissue were significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.001),and the protein expression ratios of p-IκB/IκB and p-NF-κB/NF-κB were significantly increased(P＜0.001).Compared with the model group,the T-turn in the Sin medium-and high-dose groups was significantly shortened(P＜0.05,P＜0.001),the falling latency was significantly prolonged(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),the times of falls was significantly reduced(P＜0.001),the expression level of TH protein in brain tissue was significantly increased(P＜0.01,P＜0.001),and the level of serum TNF-α was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 in brain tissue of mice in each administration group were significantly decreased(P＜0.001),the serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly decreased(P＜0.01,P＜0.001),the protein expression levels of p-GSK3β/GSK3β,Nrf2 and HO-1 in brain tissue were significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001),and the protein expression ratios of p-IκB/IκB and p-NF-κB/NF-κB were significantly decreased(P＜0.001).Conclusion SIN can enhance anti-oxidative stress and inhibit neuroinflammation by regulating GSK3β/Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κB pathways in the brain of Parkinson's disease mice,thereby exerting neuroprotective effects.
