Effect of Xiaoyaosan on Dopamine Receptor cAMP/PKA Signal Transduction Pathway in HPRL Rats
Objective: To investigate effect of of Xiaoyaosan on dopamine receptor cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)/proteinkinase A(PKA) signal transduction pathway in hyperprolactinemia(HPRL) rats. Method: The metoclopramide was injected to establish the animal model
48 SD rats were randomized into 6 groups:control group
model group
bromocriptine group
high dose modified Xiaoyaosan group
middle dose modified Xiaoyaosan group
low dose modified Xiaoyaosan group. The intervention period lasted 30 days. The immune histochemistry method to observe expression of PKA
D1R
D2R
ELISA method to observe expression of cAMP
fluorescent quantitative PCR method was used to observe expression of D1R and D2R. Result: Compared with the control group
modified Xiaoyaosan groups reduced PKA
cAMP activity(P < 0.01);dopamine D2 receptor was significantly increased(P < 0.01). Conclusion: The modified Xiaoyaosan can regulate the PRL level through dopamine receptor cAMP/PKA signal transduction pathway.
