Chaenomelis Fructus Extracts Protects Spinal Cord Injury in Rats by Regulating HMGB/TLR4/NF-B Signaling Pathway
Objective: To investigate the protective effect of Chaenomelis Fructus extracts on neurological function in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI)
and explore its possible mechanism. Method: SCI rat model was prepared and was divided into sham operation group (Sham group)
model group (SCI group)
Chaenomelis Fructus alcohol extracts treatment group (Pap group)
recombinant high mobility group histone B1(HMGB1)treatment group (rHMGB1 group)
and recombinant HMGB1+ Chaenomelis Fructus extracts treatment group (rHMGB1+Pap group) according to the treatment methods. Rat hindlimb motor function was evaluated by Basso Beattie Bresnahan(BBB)score; water content in spinal cord tissue was detected to assess the spinal cord edema; Histological evaluation was performed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The levels of interleuki-1β(IL-1β)
tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)
and interleuki-6(IL-6) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to detect the apoptosis of spinal cord cells. The protein expression levels of HMGB1
Toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot
and their mRNA expression levels were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Cysteine aspartate-specific protease-3(Caspase-3) was detected by Western blot. Result: As compared with the Sham group
the BBB score of the SCI group was significantly lower (P <0.05); spinal cord tissue was loose in SCI group and rHMGB1 group
showing histological damage of neutrophil infiltration; and histological damage was significantly improved in Pap group and rHMGB1+Pap group. As compared with Sham group
the water content in spinal cord tissue
mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1
TLR4
NF-κB p65 mRNA and protein
and IL-1β
IL-6
TNF-α levels
count of apoptosis-positive cells
and Caspase-3 protein expression level were significantly increased in SCI group (P<0.05). The water content in spinal cord tissue
mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1
TLR4
NF-κB p65 mRNA and protein
and IL-1β
IL-6
TNF-α levels
count of apoptosis-positive cells
and Caspase-3 protein expression level in Pap and rHMGB1+Pap group were significantly lower than the SCI group (P<0.05). The water content in spinal cord tissue
mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1
TLR4
NF-κB p65 mRNA and protein
and IL-1β
IL-6
TNF-α levels
count of apoptotic-positive cells and Caspase-3 protein expression level in rHMGB1+Pap group were significantly lower than those in rHMGB1 group
with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Chaenomelis Fructus extracts can induce spinal cord tissue repair and motor function recovery by inhibiting the activation of HMGB1
TLR4
NF-κB p65 signaling pathway
reducing the inflammatory response after SCI and reducing the apoptosis of spinal cord tissue.
