- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects and mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Decoction and the like on primary cultured neonate hippocampal neurons induced by oxygen deprivation and reoxygenation. METHODS: The primary cultured hippocampal neurons cell model was established, oxygen sugar deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model was established in vitro. CCK-8 was used to determine the concentration of Buyang Huanwu Decoction and the like drug-containing serum to protect hippocampal neurons cell. The experimental groups were divided into control group, model group, Buyang Huanwu Decoction drug-containing serum group(10%), Naoxintong Capsule drug-containing serum group(10%), Yangyin Tongnao Granules drug-containing serum group(10%), Buyang Huanwu Decoction drug-containing serum+TAK-242 group(10%,1 μmol•L-1), Naoxintong Capsule drug-containing serum+TAK-242 group(10%,1 μmol•L-1), Yangyin Tongnao Granules drug-containing serum+TAK-242 group(10%,1 μmol•L-1). The morphology of hippocampal neuron was observed under inverted microscope. The expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin 1(IL-1β) in the cell supernatant was detected by ELISA kit. The neuronal cell apoptosis was observed by Hoechst 33358 staining fluorescence microscope and the expression of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway proteins was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: The results showed that hgher purity neuronal cells can be obtained by primary culture. Compared with model group, Buyang Huanwu Decoction and the like all can reduce the release of TNF-α and IL-1β in hippocampal neurons, significantly reduced the number of apoptosis. At the same time, the three traditional Chinese medicine compounds all can inhibit the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB protein in TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, and protect the inflammatory response of oxygenated sugar deprivation and reoxygenated hippocampal neurons. The addition of TLR4-specific inhibitor TAK-242 blocked the conduction of this signaling pathway and reduced the protective effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction and the like. CONCLUSION: Buyang Huanwu Decoction and the like have protective effects on OGD/R-induced inflammatory response in hippocampal neurons, its mechanism may be related to TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, and the anti-inflammatory protective effect of Naoxintong Capsule is relatively obvious.
