探讨温阳解郁方调节“母婴分离+束缚应激(MS+RS)”抑郁小鼠海马神经元凋亡改善突触可塑性的机制。
方法

与空白组比较,模型组小鼠糖水偏好程度、中央区停留时间、运动总距离、开臂停留时间和认知指数显著减少(
P
<
0.01),IHC结果显示海马PSD95表达明显减少,海马神经元凋亡数量增加(

P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01),海马PSD95表达明显增加、海马凋亡指数显著增加(

Objective
2
To explore the mechanism of Wenyang Jieyu prescription in regulating hippocampal neuron apoptosis and improving synaptic plasticity in the mouse model of depression induced by maternal separation combined with restraint stress.
Method
2
The mice on postnatal day 0 (PD0) were randomly assigned into a control group (
n
=10) and a modeling group (
n
=50). Maternal separation combined with restraint stress was adopted to establish the mouse model of depression, and the modeled mice were randomized into model, Wenyang prescription, Jieyu prescription, Wenyang Jieyu prescription, and fluoxetine groups (
n
=10) on the weaning day (PD21). From PD21 to PD111, the mice were fed with the diets mixed with corresponding medicines. The sucrose preference test, open field test, O-maze test, and novel object recognition test were then conducted to evaluate the depression, memory, and learning abilities of mice. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to measure the atomic absorbance (
AA
) of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) in the hippocampus. Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase-mediated nick-end labeling (TUNEL) was employed to detect the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), phosphorylated tyrosine kinase receptor B/tyrosine kinase receptor B (p-TrkB/TrkB), phosphorylated protein kinase B/protein kinase B (p-Akt/Akt), phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin/mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR/mTOR), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-3 (Caspase-3), synaptophysin (Syn), and PSD95.
Result
2
Compared with the control group, the modeling decreased the sucrose preference rate, time spent in central zone within 5 min, total movement distance, time spent in the open arm, and cognition index (
P
<
0.01). Furthermore, it decreased the expression of PSD95, increased the neuron apoptosis in the hippocampus (
P
<
0.01), down-regulated the protein levels of BDNF, p-TrkB/TrkB, p-Akt/Akt, p-mTOR/mTOR, Bcl-2, PSD95, and Syn (
P
<
0.01), and up-regulated the protein levels of Bax and Caspase-3 (
P
<
0.05) in the hippocampus. Compared with the model group, Wenyang Jieyu prescription and fluoxetine increased the sucrose preference rate, time spent in central zone within 5 min, total movement distance, time spent in the open arm, and cognition index (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01). Moreover, the drugs increased the expression of PSD95, reduced the neuron apoptosis (
P
<
0.01), up-regulated the protein levels of BDNF, p-TrkB/TrkB, p-Akt/Akt, p-mTOR/mTOR, Bcl-2, PSD95, and Syn (
P
<
0.01), and down-regulated the protein levels of Bax and Caspase-3 (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
Wenyang Jieyu prescription outperformed Wenyang prescription and Jieyu prescription in the treatment of the depressive behavior induced by maternal separation combined with restraint stress in mice. It exerted the therapeutic effect by reducing the hippocampal neuron apoptosis and improving the synaptic plasticity via the BDNF/Akt/mTOR pathway.
