ABSTRACT
[Objective] To explore the genetic mechanism of acupoint catgut embedment in inhibiting hippocampal neuron apoptosis in rats with status epileticus (SE). [Methods] Forty SD rats were randomized into 5 groups blank control (A), model (B), dilantin (C), routine acupuncture (D) and acupoint catgut embedment (E). Rat models of SE were established by intra-abdominal injection of penicillin. With immunohistochemical method, the expressions of apoptosisrelated genes of c-jun and bcl-2 were observed in the vulnerable neurons of the hippocampus 24 hours after modeling. [Results] Compared with SE model group, the expression of c-jun was decreased and the expression of bcl-2 was increased in group C, D and E 24 hours after modeling; c-jun expression was positively related with the apoptotic index (AI) and bcl-2 expression was negatively related; the effects in group E much differed from those in model group. [Conclusion] The possible mechanism of the acupoint catgut embedment in treating epilepsy is related to the inhibition of the hippocampal neuron apoptosis by prohibiting the expression of c-jun and promoting the expression of bcl-2.
