Total Flavones of Spatholobi Caulis Regulate Hippocampal Neuroplasticity in Depressed Rats Through CREB/BDNF Pathway
To investigate the effect and mechanism of total flavones of Spatholobi Caulis
(TFSC) against depression in rats.
Method
2
The fifty KM mice were randomly divided into the normal group and high-, medium-, and low-dose (1, 0.5, 0.25 g·kg
-1
) TFSC groups and gavaged with the corresponding drugs for 12 successive days. One hour after the last administration, the immobility time in forced swimming test and tail suspension test was recorded. The SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, fluoxetine (5 mg·kg
-1
) group, and high- and low-dose (1, 0.25 g·kg
-1
) TFSC groups. Following the exposure of rats to two different kinds of stimuli daily for inducing chronic unpredictable stress, they were administered with the corresponding drugs for 21 d. After the experiment, the levels of serum neurotransmitters and inflammatory factors in rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The changes in hippocampal neurons of rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Nissl staining. The mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor-
κ
B (NF-
κ
B) and tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
) in the hippocampus of rats were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and the protein expression levels of cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB), phosphorylated CREB (p-CREB), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in hippocampal tissues by Western blot.
Result
2
Compared with the normal group, TFSC significantly shortened the immobility time of mice in tail suspension and swimming tests (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited reduced sucrose intake and wilderness activity (
P
<
0.01), decreased 5-HT, DA, NE (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01), MAO, IL-6, TNF-
α
(
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01), damaged neurons, increased mRNA levels of TNF-
α
and NF-
κ
B (
P
<
0.01), and down-regulated BDNF and CREB protein expression (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group, TFSC significantly enhanced sucrose intake and wilderness activity of rats (
P
<
0.05), increased the serum 5-HT, DA and NE (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01), and decreased the serum MAO, IL-6, and TNF-
α
(
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01) as well as NF-
κ
B and TNF-
α
mRNA expression (
P
<
0.01), up-regulated the protein expression levels of BDNF and CREB (
P
<
0.01), and improved the pathological symptoms of hippocampus.
Conclusion
2
TFSC improved the hippocampal neurons of rats via CREB/BDNF signaling pathway and reduced depressive pathological damage, thus relieving depression.
