Abstract:
To establish a mouse model of premature ovarian insufficiency( POI) with kidney deficiency and blood stasis pattern by Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside( TWP) gavage,and to evaluate the ovarian function and fertility of the model,in order to find Bushen Culuan Decoction therapeutic mechanism. 60 SPF level Blab/c female mice with normal estrous cycle were randomly divided into 6 groups of 10 each: blank group 1( BG1),blank group 2( BG2),blank fertility group( BFG),model group( MG),model recovery group( MRG) and model fertility group( MFG). The mice in three model groups were treated by gastric gavage with TWP suspension 40 mg·kg-1 twice a day for 14 days,while the mice in three blank groups were treated by gastric gavage with same volume normal saline for 14 days. The mice in BG1 and MG were sacrificed and dissected on day 15. The mice in BG2,BFG,MRG and MFG were returned normal feeding from day 15 and were sacrificed and dissected on day 29. The mice in BFG and MFG were cohabited with male mice with a ratio of 2 ∶1( female ∶male) from day 15. The general situation and estrous cycles of all mice were observed every day. Serum sex hormone levels,ovarian index,uterine index,ovarian morphology,follicle count,ovarian VEGF and ES index were observed within the mice in BG1,BG2,MG and MRG. Pregnancy rate,litter size,survival number of newborn mice and male-female proportion were reported within the mice in BFG and MFG. In model establishing stage,the body weight of mice significantly decreased( P <0. 05) in MG and MFG. Compared with BG1,the mice in model group had irregular estrous cycle,decreased ovarian and uterine indexes,less primordial and developing follicles,more atretic follicles,increased VEGF expression and decreased ES expression( P <0. 05). Compared with blank group 2,the mice in model recovery group had irregular estrous cycle,increased FSH level,decreased ovarian indexes,less primordial and developing follicles,more atretic follicles,increased VEGF expression( P<0. 05). Compared with blank fertility group,the mice in model fertility group had smaller litter size and newborn mice survival count( P<0. 05). Gastric gavage with TWP 40 mg·kg-1 twice a day for 14 days is a feasible way to establish a POI kidney deficiency and blood stasis pattern mouse model. The mice ovarian functions didn't recovery on day 14 after stopping TWP intervening,which could suggest the effectiveness of subsequent therapeutic intervention.
