Effect of Tanzhixiao Recipe on PI3K/Akt Pathway in PCOS-IR Model Rats
Objective: To observe the effect of Tanzhixiao recipe (TZXR) on signal transduction of ovarian insulin in rats with letrozole and high-fat diet induced insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS-IR). Method: Female SD rats were fed with letrozole by gavage and high-fat diet to induce PCOS-IR models. Then the rats were randomly divided into model group
TZXR group (35 g·kg-1·d-1) and the metformin group (200 mg·kg-1·d-1). The drugs were given by gavage administration for 20 days
and another normal blank group was established. After the end of the experiment
abdominal aortic blood was taken to determine fasting plasma glucose (FPG)
and fasting insulin (FINS)
and insulin resistance index was calculated by homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). The mRNA expression levels of insulin receptor (INSR)
insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1)
phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)
and protein kinase B (Akt) were detected by Real-time PCR. In addition
the expression levels of INSR
IRS
PI3K
Akt protein and their corresponding phosphorylated forms were detected by Western blot. Result: As compared with the blank group
the levels of FINS and HOMA-IR were increased in model group (P<0.01)
but there was no significant increase in FPG level
mRNA expression levels of INSR
IRS
PI3K and Akt were significantly decreased (P<0.05)
protein expression levels of INSR
p-INSR
IRS
p-IRS
PI3K
p-PI3K
Akt and p-AKT were significantly decreased (P<0.05)
the phosphorylation ratios of INSR
IRS
PI3K
and Akt were significantly decreased in the model group (P<0.05). As compared with the model group
the levels of FINS and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased (P<0.01)
mRNA expression levels of INSR
IRS
PI3K and Akt were significantly increased (P<0.05)
protein expression levels of INSR
p-INSR
IRS
p-IRS
PI3K
p-PI3K
Akt and p-Akt were significantly increased (P<0.05)
and phosphorylation ratios of INSR
IRS
PI3K
and Akt were significantly increased (P<0.05) in the TZXR group and metformin group. Conclusion: IR and abnormal signal transduction of PI3K/Akt pathway existed in PCOS model rats. TZXR could improve IR of PCOS rats
and the mechanism may be associated with regulating key protein expression levels of insulin signal trasduction pathway.
