| Objective:To explore at the cellular level whether the bushenhuoxue prescription has an improvement effect on diabetic cerebral microangiopathy,and to conduct a preliminary study on its mechanismMethods:1.In vitro experiments using high glucose(25mM,HG)and palmitic acid(200μM,PA)intervention mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells(BEND3 cells)to establish diabetic cerebral microvascular lesion cell model.CCK-8 method was used to select the drug concentration of appropriate bushen formula,huoxue formula and bushenhuoxue formula,and to determine whether bushenhuoxue method had any effect on cerebrovascular diseases caused by glucolipotoxicity;2.Elisa was used to detect the effects of bushen formula(BS,25mg·L-1,50mg·L-1,100mg·L-1),huoxue formula(HX,5mg·L-1,10mg·L-1,20mg·L-1)and bushenhuoxue formula(BSHX,30mg·L-1,60mg·L-1,120mg·L-1)on the oxidative stress and inflammatory response related indicators of brain microvessels caused by high glucose and palmitic acid;3.Western blot was used to detect the optimal concentration of bushen formula(100mg·L-1),huoxue formula(20mg·L-1)and bushenhuoxue formula(120mg·L-1)to detect the expressions of glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78),phospho eukaryotic initiation factor 2α(p-eIF2α),activating transcriptional factor 4(ATF4)and nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)protein to explore the relationship between diabetic cerebrovascular lesions and endoplasmic reticulum stress;4.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of receptor LRP-1/RAGE related to transport Aβ,so as to clarify the effect of bushenhuoxue method on the expression of LRP-1/RAGE protein in brain microvascular endothelial cells induced by glucolipotoxicity.Results:1.CCK-8 was used to detect cell proliferation,and the low,medium and high doses of bushen prescription were finally selected as 25mg·L-1,50mg·L-1,100mg·L-1,huoxue prescription were 5mg·L-1,10mg·L-1,20mg·L-1,bushenhuoxue prescription were 30mg·L-1,60mg·L-1,120mg·L-1.When BEND3 cells were stimulated by HG and PA,the cell viability increased from(100±2.3)%to(62.6±0.47)%(P<0.001).After bushen prescription(BS,25mg·L-1,50mg·L-1,100mg·L-1),huoxue prescription(HX,5mg·L-1,10mg·L-1,20mg·L-1)and bushenhuoxue prescription(BSHX,30mg·L-1,60mg·L-1,120mg·L-1)intervention after the cell vitality,respectively up to(69.4±2.2)%(P<0.05),(70.2±1.2)%(P<0.05),(71.3±1.3)%(P<0.01),(69.7±1.4)%(P<0.05),(70.0±2.8)%(P<0.05),(72.2±2.8)%(P<0.01),(73.1±5.3)%(P<0.01),(75.8±3.1)%(P<0.01),(77.8±4.4)%(P<0.001);2.BEND3 cells stimulated by HG and PA significantly increased the content of relevant indicators of oxidative stress and inflammation.After the intervention of bushen formula(BS,25mg·L-1,50mg·L-1,100mg·L-1),huoxue formula(HX,5mg·L-1,10mg·L-1,20mg·L-1)and bushen huoxue formula(BSHX,30mg·L-1,60mg·L-1,120mg·L-1),the contents of oxidative stress factors(ROS/VEGF/NO/iNOS/MMP-2/MMP-9/TIMP-1)and inflammatory factors(IL-6/ICAM-1/TNF-α/TGF-β1)decreased were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001);3.BEND3 cells suffered from endoplasmic reticulum stress,GRP78,p-eIF2α,ATF4 and NF-κB expression significantly raised,give bushen formula(BS,100mg·L-1),huoxue formula(HX,20mg·L-1)and bushenhuoxue formula(BSHX,120mg·L-1)after the intervention GRP78,p-eIF2α,ATF4 and NF-κB protein were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).4.High glucose and hyperlipemia after stimulation,BEND3 membrane transport Aβrelated LRP-1/RAGE receptor protein expression changes,which is responsible for Aβoutward transport receptors in the brain LRP-1 protein expression significantly lower,and transports Aβinto the brain the RAGE receptor protein expression was significantly increased,giving bushenhuoxue formula the LRP-1 protein expression increased after the intervention,the RAGE protein expression decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:1.Bushen formula(BS,25mg·L-1,50mg·L-1,100mg·L-1),huoxue formula(HX,5mg·L-1,10mg·L-1,20mg·L-1)and bushen huoxue formula(BSHX,30mg·L-1,60mg·L-1,120mg·L-1)had a protective effect on the cell damage model of diabetic cerebrovascular lesions stimulated by HG and PA;2.Bushenhuoxue method could improve oxidative stress,inflammatory reaction and endoplasmic reticulum stress caused by diabetic cerebrovascular lesions;3.Bushenhuoxu method could regulate the expression of LRP-1/RAGE protein,which is related to the transport of Aβ. |
