Abstract:
Objective To investigate the mechanism of naringenin resisting lower extremity deep venous thrombosis(LEDVT)in rats.Methods Sixty rats were randomly divided into 6 groups,i.e.,sham-operation group,model group,naringenin low-,medium-,and high-dose groups,and naringenin high-dose + STING agonist 2.5 hexamethylene cacodylate(DMXAA)group,with 10 rats in each group.The coagulation indexes[D-dimer,thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT)],inflammation indexes[interleukin 1β(IL-1β),interleukin 6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)]and oxidative stress indexes[malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),superoxide dismutase(SOD)];Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining to detect thrombus formation in venous tissues;wet and dry mass of thrombus were detected;ultrastructure of venous thrombus was detected by transmission electron microscope(TEM);protein expressions of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS)and stimulator of interferon genes(STING)in venous thrombus tissue were detected by Western Blot.Results(1)Compared with the sham-operation group,rats in the model group showed an increase in D-dimer levels,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α levels,MDA content,thrombus wet and dry mass,and a decrease in TT,APTT,PT,SOD activity,and GSH-Px activity(all P＜0.05);and compared with the model group,rats in naringen's low-,medium-,and high-dose groups showed a decrease in D-dimer levels,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α levels,MDA content,thrombus wet and dry mass,TT,APTT and PT,SOD activity and GSH-Px activity were increased(P＜0.05)in a dose-dependent manner compared with the model group;compared with the naringenin high-dose group,rats in the naringenin high-dose + DMXAA group,D-dimer levels,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α levels,MDA content,thrombus wet and dry mass were elevated,TT,APTT and PT,SOD activity and GSH-Px activity were decreased(P＜0.05).(2)Compared with the sham-operation group,the expression levels of cGAS and STING proteins in the venous thrombus tissues of rats in the model group were elevated(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,the expression levels of cGAS and STING proteins in the venous thrombus tissues of rats in the naringeno low-,medium-and high-dose groups were significantly reduced(P＜0.05);cGAS and STING protein expression levels in the naringenin high-dose + DMXAA group were significantly higher than those in the naringenin high-dose group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Naringenin can inhibit the activation of cGAS/STING signalling pathway,thereby inhibiting the inflammatory response and resisting oxidative stress,and thus alleviating the LEDVT.
