OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of raw and wine-processed Schisandra chinensis on neuro-immune-endocrine network in insomnia mice and its mechanism. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, diazepam group, raw S. chinensis group and wine-processed S. chinensis group, with 10 mice in each group. Except for blank group, the mice in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with thyroxine solution to establish mice model of insomnia; at the end of each day’s modeling, the corresponding doses of diazepam,raw and wine-processed S. chinensis were given by gavage. The blank group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline. The general state of the mice was observed and recorded, and the total activity distance and upright times of the mice were detected; the EEG and EMG signals of mice were recorded, and the time ratio of sleep wake time (wake), non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) was analyzed; the contents of neurotransmitters [γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), cortisol (CORT)] in brain suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) were detected; and the expressions of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were detected; the mRNA expressions of clock gene Bmal1, circadian clock gene Clock and cycle gene Per2 were all detected. RESULTS Compared with the blank group, the mental state of the model group mice was relatively depressed, the amount of food and water increased, the body mass decreased, the hair was rough and shiny, and the circadian rhythm was irregular; the total activity distance and upright times decreased significantly; the time ratio of wake increased significantly, while the time ratios of REM and NREM decreased significantly; the content of 5- HT in brain SCN decreased significantly, while the content of NE, DA and CORT increased significantly; the fluorescence intensity of IL-1β and TNF-α was significantly increased; the relative expression level of Bmal1 and Clock mRNA was significantly increased, while the relative expression level of Per2 mRNA was significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the general state of mice in diazepam group, raw S. chinensis group and wine-processed S. chinensis group was improved obviously, and most of the above index levels were significantly reversed (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Raw and wine-processed S. chinensis have a certain therapeutic effect on insomnia mice, the mechanism of which may be related to the regulation of neuro-endocrine-immune system related biological indicators in insomnia mice.

ObjectiveTo explore the compatibility advantage of Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma in the prevention and treatment of neuroinflammation, and to elucidate the action characteristics and mechanism of the compatibility advantage based on Toll like receptor (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) pathway. MethodRepresentative mouse microglia cells (BV2) in vitro were selected and divided into 8 groups: control group, model group, Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma group, Piracetam group, Scutellariae Radix group and Coptidis Rhizoma group. The BV2 cell inflammatory model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the cell activity was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Cell morphology was observed under bright field. The production and release of pro-inflammatory factors in BV2 cells were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence assay, and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 was detected by immunofluorescence, and TLR4 signal transduction inhibitor (CLI-095) and NF-κB inhibitor (PDTC) were used to confirm the anti-neuroinflammation targets of Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma. ResultCompared with the conditions in the control group, most cells in LPS-induced model group were activated, and the contents of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in culture medium and cells and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 were increased (P<0.01), with obvious nuclear entry of NF-κB p65. Compared with the conditions in the model group, BV2 cell morphology was mostly recovered after pretreatment in Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma and Piracetam groups, and the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), with NF-κB p65 mostly observed in cytoplasm. Compared with the conditions in the model group, cell morphology was slightly recovered in Scutellariae Radix group and Coptidis Rhizoma group, and the levels of pro-inflammatory factors and mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 were reduced. In terms of inhibitory effect on pro-inflammatory factors, Scutellariae Radix group and Coptidis Rhizoma group were lower than Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the "Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma+CLI-095" group and "Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma+PDTC" group had lowered mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the transfer of NF-κB p65 into nucleus was obviously inhibited. ConclusionThe anti-neuroinflammation effect of Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma was significantly better than Scutellariae Radix or Coptidis Rhizom alone, and the anti-neuroinflammation advantage was closely related to the inhibition of activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in microglial cells. It was confirmed that TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB were potential targets for Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma to exert the compatibility advantage.
