Effect of Juantong Decoction on PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway Proteins in Rats with Endometriosis
To discuss the effect of Juantong decoction on phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin(PI3K/Akt/mTOR)signaling pathway proteins in rats with endometriosis (EMS).
Method:
2
The EMS Rat model was established by autologous endometrial transplantation. And 48 rats were randomly divided into 6 group
namely the sham operation group
the model group
the low-dose Juantong decoction group
the middle-dose Juantong decoction group
high-dose Juantong decoction group
and the PI3K pathway blocker group (LY294002). Then
the high-dose Juantong decoction group
the middle-dose Juantong decoction group and the low-dose Juantong decoction group were given different doses (42.9
14.3
4.8 g·kg
-1
). The pathway blocker group (LY294002) was given LY294002 (0.04 g·kg
-1
) through peritoneal injection weekly. The sham operation group and the model group were given saline irrigation (10 mL·kg
-1
). The administration lasted for 28 days. At last
the ectopic endometrial tissues in rats were observed by transmission electron microscope
the proteins of PI3K
Akt and mTOR in the tissue were detected by immunohistochemical method
and the p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6K) mRNA expression of ectopic endometrial tissue was tested by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) method.
Result:
2
Compared with the normal group
the protein expressions of PI3K
Akt and mTOR and the mRNA expression of p70S6K of ectopic endometrium in the model group increased significantly (
P
<
0.05). And compared with the model group
the protein expressions of PI3K
Akt and mTOR and the mRNA expression of p70S6K decreased significantly after the intervention with middle and high doses of Juantong decoction and Western medicine Group (
P
<
0.05). Under the lens
the glandular epithelial cells in middle and high-dose Juantong decoction and western medicine groups were atrophy or untidy
the microvilli decreased or disappeared
the cell nuclei were shrunk
the mitochondria were visible
and there were apoptotic mesenchymal cells. The glandular epithelial cells in low-dose Juantong decoction group were irregular
the microvilli were decreased
and the mitochondrial swelling was visible in the cytoplasm.
Conclusion:
2
The proteins of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway participate in the occurrence of endometriosis. Juantong decoction can inhibit the activity of epithelial mesenchymal cells and promote apoptosis by reducing the protein expressions of PI3K
Akt and mTOR and the mRNA expression of P70S6K in endometriotic tissues of model rats
thus inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in the treatment of endometriosis.
