To investigate the expression changes of mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathway-related genes in ApoE
-/-
mice and the intervention effect of Huayu Qutan recipe on them
in order to explore the anti-atherosclerotic(AS) effect and possible mechanism of Huayu Qutan recipe.
Method:
2
Fifty ApoE
-/-
mice were randomly divided into model group
tanshinone IIA group (30 mg·kg
-1
·d
-1
)
and high-dose phlegm group (20 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
)
the middle-dose group (10 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
)
and the low-dose group (5 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
)
and 10 C57BL/6/J mice were included in the blank controls group. Automated biochemical analyzer was used to detect serum triglyceride(TG)
cholesterol(TC)
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) content; hematoxylin-eosin(HE) was used to detect aortic plaque in each group; oil red O was used to detect liver lipid deposition in each group; enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay(ELISA) was used to determine vascular cell adhesion protein-1(VCAM-1)
intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)
interleukin-6(IL-6)
tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
) in serum of each group; Western blot was performed to detect c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)
phosphorylated c-Jun
N
-terminal kinase(p-JNK)
c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)
p38 MAPK
p-p38 MAPK
extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK)
and expression of p-ERK.
Result:
2
Compared with the blank control group
serum TC
TG
LDL-C levels in the model group were significantly increased
while HDL-C levels were significantly decreased; aortic plaques were observed in the aortic lumen
and lots of lipid deposition were observed in the liver cells. Serum inflammatory factors TNF-
α
IL-6
VCAM-1
ICAM-1 increased(
P
<
0.05); and intravascular associated MAPK signaling pathway p-p38 MAPK
p-JNK gene expressions increased significantly(
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group
TC
TG
LDL-C in the tanshinone IIA group and the phlegm group were significantly decreased
HDL-C was significantly increased
and atherosclerotic plaque area and liver lipid were remarkably reduced in the aortic lumen. The deposition amount was significantly reduced
and the levels of inflammatory factors such as TNF-
α
IL-6
VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 were decreased. The expressions of p-p38 MAPK and p-JNK genes in intravascular associated MAPK signaling pathway were significantly decreased. p-ERK expression trend was not obvious(
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion:
2
Huayu Recipe can inhibit the formation of aortic plaque in ApoE
-/-
mice
and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of vascular MAPK signaling pathway gene expression.
