ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula (左归降糖解郁方, ZJJF) for diabetic rats with depression. MethodsSixty rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, wingless MMTV integration site family member 5a (Wnt5a) agonist group, ZJJF group, and ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group, with 12 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the rats were fed with high-fat chow, streptozotocin injection, and chronic mild unpredictable stress combination, to establish model of diabetes mellitus complicated with depression. After successful modelling, rats in the Wnt5a agonist group were given bilateral hippocampal stereotactic injections of Wnt5a agonist Foxy-5 with 5 μl each for 7 consecutive days; rats in ZJJF group were given 20.52 g/(kg·d) of ZJJF by gavage; rats in ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group were given the drug by gavage, and bilateral hippocampal stereotactic injections of Wnt5a inhibitors Box5, with the same dosage and injection method as above. The normal group and model group were given 10 ml/(kg·d) of normal saline by gavage. All groups were gavaged for 4 consecutive weeks. At the end of the intervention, the depression-like behaviour of rats was evaluated using the forced swimming experiment (immobility time) and the absent field experiment (number of activities); the blood glucose and insulin levels of rats were measured and the insulin resistance index was calculated; the dendritic morphology of dentate gyrus neurons in the hippocampus was observed using Golgi staining; the level of dentate gyrus neuron proliferation was measured using 5-bromodeoxyuracil nucleoside (Brdu) injection and immunofluorescence; RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Wnt5a, Ras homologue genomic member A (RhoA) and Rho homologue-associated coiled-coil protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) in the dentate gyrus. ResultsCompared with the normal group, rats in the model group had significantly higher blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance indices, longer immobility time, fewer activities, lower Brdu integral optical density values and Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus (P<0.05 or P< 0.01); the dendritic branches of rat hippocampal dentate gyrus neurons could be seen to be significantly reduced or broken, and their length shortened. Compared with the model group, the blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance indices of rats in ZJJF group and the ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the immobility time of rats in the Wnt5a agonist group and ZJJF group was significantly shortened, the number of activities increased, the Brdu integral optical density values elevated, and the Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression elevated (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the number of dendritic branches of hippocampal dentate gyrus neurons significantly increased, the length lengthened, and the complexity of dendrites increased. Compared with the Wnt5a agonist group, rats in the ZJJF group showed significant decrease in blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance indices, prolongation of immobilisation time, reduction in the number of activities, and reduction in the Brdu integral optical density value; except for the Wnt5a mRNA in ZJJF group, Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression reduced in both ZJJF group and ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with ZJJF group, Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression were reduced in ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionZJJF can improve hyperglycemia and depressive-like behaviours in rat models of diabetes with depression, and its antidepressant effects may be related to the activation of hippocampal Wnt5a/RhoA signaling and promotion of dentate gyrus neuron dendritic growth.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome accompanied by myelodysplasia (MDS-EB) and to compare the prognosis of different subtypes of patients classified by World Health Organization (WHO) 2022.Methods:A total of 282 patients with MDS-EB who underwent allo-HSCT at the Hematology Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2006 to December 2022 were included in the study. The WHO 2022 diagnostic criteria reclassified MDS into three groups: myelodysplastic tumors with type 1/2 of primitive cell proliferation (MDS-IB1/IB2, 222 cases), MDS with fibrosis (MDS-f, 41 cases), and MDS with biallelic TP53 mutation (MDS-biTP53, 19 cases). Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:① The median age of 282 patients was 46 (15-66) years, with 191 males and 91 females. Among them, 118 (42% ) and 164 (58% ) had MDS-EB1 and MDS-EB2, respectively. ②Among the 282 patients, 256 (90.8% ) achieved hematopoietic reconstruction after transplantation, with 11 (3.9% ) and 15 (5.3% ) having primary and secondary implantation dysfunctions, respectively. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) 100 days post-transplantation was (42.6±3.0) %, and the cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD was (33.0±2.8) %. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD 1 year post-transplantation was (31.0±2.9) %. Post-transplantation, 128 (45.4% ), 63 (22.3% ), 35 (12.4% ), and 17 patients (6.0% ) developed cytomegalovirus infection, bacteremia, pulmonary fungal infection, and Epstein-Barr virus infection. ③The median follow-up time post-transplantation was 22.1 (19.2-24.7) months, and the 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 71.9% (95% CI 65.7% -78.6% ) and 63.6% (95% CI 57.2% -70.7% ), respectively. The 3-year non-recurrent mortality rate (NRM) is 17.9% (95% CI 13.9% -22.9% ), and the 3-year cumulative recurrence rate (CIR) is 9.8% (95% CI 6.7% -13.7% ). The independent risk factors affecting OS post-transplantation include monocyte karyotype ( P=0.004, HR=3.26, 95% CI 1.46-7.29), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation complication index (HCI-CI) of ≥3 points ( P<0.001, HR=2.86, 95% CI 1.72-4.75), and the occurrence of acute gastrointestinal GVHD of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ ( P<0.001, HR=5.94, 95% CI 3.50-10.10). ④The 3-year OS and DFS rates in the MDS-IB1/IB2 group post-transplantation were better than those in the MDS-biTP53 group [OS: 72.0% (95% CI 63.4% -80.7% ) vs 46.4% (95% CI 26.9% –80.1% ), P=0.020; DFS: 67.4% (95% CI 60.3% -75.3% ) vs 39.7% (95% CI 22.3% -70.8% ), P=0.015]. The 3-year CIR was lower than that of the MDS-biTP53 group [7.3% (95% CI 4.3% -11.4% ) vs 26.9% (95% CI 9.2% -48.5% ), P=0.004]. The NRM at 3 years post-transplantation in the MDS-IB1/IB2, MDS-f, and MDS-biTP53 groups were 16.7% (95% CI 12.1% -22.1% ), 20.5% (95% CI 9.4% -34.6% ), and 26.3% (95% CI 9.1% -47.5% ), respectively ( P=0.690) . Conclusion:Allo-HSCT is an effective treatment for MDS-EB, with monomeric karyotype, HCI-CI, and grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute gastrointestinal GVHD as independent risk factors affecting the patient’s OS. The WHO 2022 classification helps distinguish the efficacy of allo-HSCT in different subgroups of patients. Allo-HSCT can improve the poor prognosis of patients with MDS-f, but those with MDS-biTP53 have a higher risk of recurrence post-transplantation.
