Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2019;35(1):46-51
Aim To investigate the effect of Radices Paeoniae Alba extract on estrogen receptor (3 ( ERp ) and serotonin transporter(SERT) in the hippocampus of rat model of premenstrual syndrome( PMS) liver-qi inverse syndrome. Methods The rats were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, the Radices Paeoniae Alba extract group, the fluoxetine group and the ER(3 agonist group by the vaginal smear microscopy and the open field score. The model group rats were prepared by electrical stimulation to prepare PMS liver-qi inverse syndrome. After five days of administration, the hippocampal tissues of each group were separated. ERp and SERT mRNA and protein expression in each group were determined by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence histochemical method. Results During the estrous reception period, there was no significant difference in the behavior score of the open- field test and the expression of ERp and SERT mRNA and protein in the hippocampus of each group. Estrous non-reception period; compared with normal rats, the total distance of open field test in model rats increased significantly. The expression of ER(3 mRNA in hippocampus significantly decreased and SERT mRNA significantly increased. In model group, the pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 brain areas of rats were irregularly arranged, and the number of ERp positive cells and protein expression decreased. The number of SERT positive cells and protein expression were significantly up-regulated. After the Radices Paeoniae Alba extract was given, the above indexes were significantly improved, and no significant difference was found between them and fluoxetine group and ER agitator group. Conclusions Radices Paeoniae Alba extract may adjust the PMS card of diseases with inverse nega-tive emotions possibly by improving the hippocampus ER|3 and SERT mRNA and protein expression.
