Banxia Xiexintang Regulates Autophagy of Interstitial Cells of Cajal in Gastric Antrum of Rats with Gastric Electric Dysrhythmia
To observe the effect of Banxia Xiexintang on the autophagy of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) in the gastric antrum of rats with gastric electric dysrhythmia, and explore the protective effect and regulatory mechanism.
Method
2
Thirty-two SD rats were randomly assigned into a normal group, a model group, a Banxia Xiexintang (24.68 g·kg
-1
) group, and a positive drug (2.7 mg·kg
-1
) group. The rat model of gastric electric dysrhythmia was established by the method of dieting every other day and drinking dilute hydrochloric acid, and Banxia Xiexintang and the positive drug were administrated for intervention. The body weight of each rat was recorded weekly. The gastric electric activity was recorded by the biological function experimental system. The ultrastructural changes of the gastric antrum tissue were observed by a transmission electron microscope. The co-expression of receptor tyrosine kinase (c-kit)/mammalian homolog of yeast Atg6 (Beclin1) in the gastric antrum tissue was detected by double immunofluorescence labeling method. The expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) and p62 protein in the gastric antrum tissue was determined by Western blot, and the LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ ratio was calculated.
Result
2
Compared with the normal group, the modeling reduced the body weight (
P
<
0.01) and decreased the dominant frequency and dominant power of gastric electricity (
P
<
0.01). In addition, the modeling caused ultrastructural damage of ICCs in gastric antrum, degeneration and necrosis of organelles, and appearance of a small number of autophagic vesicles. The results of double immunofluorescence labeling showed that the modeling inhibited the positive expression of c-kit and promoted the positive expression of Beclin1 in gastric antrum tissue. Western blot results showed that the modeling increased the ratio of LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ (
P
<
0.01) and down-regulated the expression of p62 protein (
P
<
0.01) in the gastric antrum tissue. Compared with the model group, Banxia Xiexintang and the positive drug increased the body weight (
P
<
0.01) and the dominant frequency and dominant power of gastric electricity (
P
<
0.01), repaired the ultrastructural damage of ICCs in gastric antrum tissue, promoted the positive expression of c-kit and inhibited the positive expression of Beclin1 in the gastric antrum tissue. Furthermore, Banxia Xiexintang up-regulated the expression of p62 (
P
<
0.05) and inhibited the transformation of LC3BⅠ into LC3BⅡ in gastric antrum tissue (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
By regulating the expression of autophagy-related proteins, Banxia Xiexintang can reduce the autophagy and regulate the number and structure of ICCs and thus improve the gastric electric rhythm of rats, which preliminarily explains the mechanism of Banxia Xiexintang in the treatment of epigastric stuffiness.
