摘要:

作者前期的研究证实,传统中药加味四逆散具有确切的抗抑郁效应,能抑制应激性抑郁症时下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴的亢进。实验采用体外无血清培养大鼠海马神经前体细胞,以120μM皮质酮培养模拟应激损伤细胞模型,然后用10%加味四逆散含药血清及皮质酮拮抗剂RU38486干预。MTT检测显示,加味四逆散含药血清和RU38486可增加皮质酮损伤海马神经前体细胞的增殖率。免疫荧光检测显示,经皮质酮拮抗剂RU38486或加味四逆散含药血清干预后,皮质酮损伤的海马神经前体细胞中BrdU/TUNEL比值明显升高,且分化的神经胶质样细胞和神经元样细胞凋亡减少。提示加味四逆散能促进应激条件下的海马神经发生。

Abstract:

The traditional Chinese medicine Jiaweisinisan has antidepressant effects, and can inhibit hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland axis hyperactivity in stress-induced depression. In this study, rat hippocampal neural precursor cells were cultured in serum-free medium in vitro and a stress damage model was established with 120 μM corticosterone. Cells were treated with 10% (v/v) Jiaweisinisan drug-containing serum and the corticosterone antagonist RU38486. Results of the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide assay showed that both Jiaweisinisan drug-containing serum and RU38486 promoted the proliferation of neural precursor cells after corticosterone exposure. Immunofluorescence detection showed that after Jiaweisinisan drug-containing serum and RU38486 treatment, the 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine/terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling ratio in hippocampal neural precursor cells significantly increased, and the apoptotic rates of glial cells reduced, and neuron-like cell differentiation from neural precursor cells significantly increased. Our experimental findings indicate that Jiaweisinisan promotes hippocampal neurogenesis after stress damage.
