RESUMEN

This study aims to investigate the mechanism of the Tibetan medicine Ershiwuwei Shanhu Pills(ESP) in improving scopolamine-induced learning and memory impairment in mice based on Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. ICR mice were randomized into blank group, model group, low-dose(200 mg·kg~(-1)), medium-dose(400 mg·kg~(-1)), and high-dose(800 mg·kg~(-1)) ESP groups, and donepezil hydrochloride group. The learning and memory impairment was induced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of scopola-mine. The learning and memory abilities of mice were detected by Morris water maze test, and the damage of hippocampal neurons and cortical neurons was detected based on Nissl staining. The expression of neuron specific nuclear protein(NeuN) in hippocampus and cortex of mice was determined by immunofluorescence assay, and the content of acetylcholine(Ach) and the activity of acetylcholines-terase(AchE) in hippocampus of mice by kits. Moreover, the content of superoxide dismutase(SOD), malondialdehyde(MDA), catalase(CAT), and total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC) in serum of mice was detected. The content of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2), and heme oxygenase 1(HO-1) in hippocampus was determined by Western blot. The results showed that there were significant differences in the trajectory map of mice among different groups in the behavioral experiment. Moreover, the latency of ESP groups decreased significantly compared with that in the model group. The hippocampal neurons in the high-dose ESP group were significantly more than those in the model group and the cortical neurons in the high-dose and medium-dose ESP groups were significantly more than those in the model group. The expression of NeuN in the model group was significantly decreased compared with that in the blank group, and the expression in the ESP groups was significantly higher than that in the model group. The AchE activity and MDA level were significantly decreased, and Ach content and levels of SOD, CAT, and T-AOC in the ESP groups were significantly increased in the ESP groups compared with those in the model group. The expression of Keap1 in the model group was significantly increased compared with that in the blank group, and the Keap1 expression increased insignificantly in ESP groups compared with that in the model group. The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was significantly lower in the model group than in the blank group, and the expression was significantly higher in the medium-dose ESP group than in the model group. In conclusion, ESP protected mice against the scopolamine-induced learning and memory impairment by regulating the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress plays an important role in femoral head necrosis. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains growth factors that can accelerate fracture healing. PRP combined with core decompression can promote recovery from non-traumatic femoral head necrosis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether PRP combined with core decompression can inhibit oxidative stress in steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head model via Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. METHODS: Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into normal group, model group, control group and PRP group, with 10 rabbits in each group. In the model and PRP groups, a model of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis was established in a sterile environment. At 4 weeks after operation, the rabbits in the PRP group were injected with 0.4 mL of 3% PRP after core decompression. The control group received core decompression treatment, and the control and model groups were raised normally. After 14 weeks, the experimental animals were sacrificed. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of bone marrow cavity and the vacancy rate of bone lacunae in the femoral head of each group. Total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, reduced glutathione, and malondialdehyde were detected. TUNEL was used to detect bone cell apoptosis in the femoral head. Immunofluorescence staining was used to determine the distribution of Keapl and Nrf2. Western blot was used to measure Keapl, Nrf2, and HO-1 protein expression in the femoral head. Approval was obtained from the Animal Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, approval No. qhdx-201908374. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with the normal group, the trabecular bone in model group was thinned with structure disorder. Compared with the model group, the trabecular bone structure in control group was restored, and the number of vacant bone lacunae was reduced (P 0.05). (2) The total antioxidant capacity and serum levels of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and reduced glutathione in the model group were significantly lower than those in normal animals (P 0.05), while these indexes were significantly improved in the PRP group than the model and control groups (P < 0.05). (3) The expression of Keapl in the model group was significantly lower than that of the normal group (P < 0.05), and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein was significantly higher than that of the normal group (P < 0.05). The expression of Keapl in the PRP group was lower than that of the model and control groups (P < 0.05), and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was significantly higher than that of the model and control groups (P < 0.05). Therefore, PRP can effectively inhibit oxidative stress in the process of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis, which may be caused by activating the Keapl/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
