Abstract:
AIM:To investigate autophagic status in ischemic stroke with Liver Yang Hyperactivity and the mechanism of Tianma Gouteng Decoction(TMGTD).METHODS:SD rats were divided into sham,model,TMGTD high/medium/low-dose(20.52/10.26/5.13 g·kg-1·d-1),and Nimodipine(30 mg·kg-1·d-1)groups.A Liver Yang Hyperactivity and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was es-tablished using Fuzi Decoction(2 g·kg-1·d-1)and thread-occlusion.After 21 days of Fuzi decoction pretreatment,rats received daily drug administra-tion for 12 days.Syndrome indicators(irritability,24-hour water intake,24-hour urine volume,facial temperature)were recorded,plasma NE,E,cAMP,and cGMP were measured by ELISA,neurological function was assessed using Zea Longa and mNSS methods,brain histopathology was evaluated by HE staining,protein expression of soluble/insoluble p62 and LC3B was detected by Western blot,au-tophagy-related genes were analyzed by PCR array,additionally,mRNA and protein levels of CXCR4 and CXCL12 were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot.RESULTS:Compared to the sham group,the model group showed increased irritability,24-hours water intake,24-hours urine volume,facial temper-ature,and level of NE,E,cGMP(P＜0.01),neurologi-cal scores(P＜0.01),LC3B-Ⅱ,insoluble p62,CXCR4,CXCL12 expression(P＜0.01),but decreased soluble p62(P＜0.01).TMGTD groups exhibited reduced irri-tability,water intake,urine volume,facial tempera-ture,NE,E,cGMP(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),neurological scores(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),p62 expression(P＜0.01),alongside increased LC3B-Ⅱ(P＜0.01)and improved cortical pathology.TMGD also reversed dysregulat-ed autophagy-apoptosis genes(CXCR4,Lamp1,Tgfb1,APP,Rab24)and reduced CXCR4,CXCL12 ex-pression(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:In the Liver Yang Hyperactivity and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model,autophagy genes were activated but flux was impaired,and Tianma Gouteng Decoction may protect by restoring autophagic flux and inhibiting the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis.
