Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Xingnao Jieyu Decoction on the function of Notch/Hes signaling pathway in hippocampus of rats with post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods A total of 80 healthy male specific pathogen-free Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group;20 rats in each group.The rats in the model group,prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group were used to prepare the cerebral ischemia model by middle cerebral artery occlusion method,and then the rats were used to prepare the depressive model by a variety of chronic unpredictable stimuli.The rats in the control group did not have any intervention.After the preparation of PSD model,the rats in the control group and model group were given saline 2.5 mL by intragastric administration,the rats in prozac group were given prozac 2.5 mL (1.8 mg · kg-1) by intragastric administration,the rats in Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group were given Xingnao Jieyu Decoction 2.5 mL (150.0 mg · kg-1) by intragastric administration;one times daily for 28 days.Ten rats in each group were sacrificed immediately on the nineteenth and twenty-eighth day of drug intervention,and the hippocampus tissues were isolated.The expression of Notch and Hes mRNA and protein in hippocampus were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot method.The open probability,current amplitude,opening time and closing time of Notch signaling pathway were detected by patch clamp technique.Results On the nineteenth and twenty-eighth day of drug intervention,the expression of Notch and Hes protein and mRNA in hippocampus of rats in the model group,prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05);the expression of Notch and Hes protein and mRNA in hippocampus of rats in the prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P ＜ 0.05);the expressions of Notch and Hes protein and mRNA in hippocampus of rats in the Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group was significantly higher than that in the prozac group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in Notch and Hes protein and mRNA expression in hippocampus of rats between the nineteenth and twenty-eighth day of drug intervention (P ＞ 0.05).The expression of Notch and Hes protein and mRNA in hippocampus of rats on the twenty-eighth day was significantly higher than that on the nineteenth day in the model group,prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group,the open probability and current amplitude of Notch signaling pathway in hippocampus of rats increased significantly,the opening time prolonged significantly,and the closing time shortened significantly in the model group,prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group on the nineteenth and twenty-eighth day of drug intervention (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the model group,the open probability and current amplitude of Notch signaling pathway in hippocampus of rats increased significantly,the opening time prolonged significantly,and the closing time shortened significantly in the prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group on the nineteenth and twenty-eighth day of drug intervention (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the prozac group,the open probability and current amplitude of Notch signaling pathway in hippocampus of rats increased significantly,the opening time prolonged significantly,and the closing time shortened significantly in the Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group on the nineteenth and twenty-eighth day of drug intervention (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the open probability,current amplitude,opening time and closing time of Notch signaling pathway between the nineteenth and twenty-eighth day of drug intervention in the control group(P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the nineteenth day of drug intervention,the open probability and current amplitude of Notch signaling pathway in hippocampus of rats increased significantly,the opening time prolonged significantly,and the closing time shortened significantly on the twenty-eighth day of drug intervention in the model group,prozac group and Xingnao Jieyu Decoction group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Xingnao Jieyu Decoction can mediate the activation of Notch / Hes signaling pathway in hippocanpus of PSD rats,thus effectively promote the recovery of neurological function.Notch/Hes signaling pathway is expected to be an important target for drug action.
