Pharmacodynamics and Mechanism of Chaijin Sanjie Prescription on Rats with Mammary Gland Hyperplasia
To investigate the pharmacodynamics and mechanism of Chaijin Sanjie prescription (CJSJP) on rat mammary gland hyperplasia
in order to provide experimental basis for the research and development of new Chinese medicine.
Method:
2
SD rat model of mammary gland hyperplasia was established through exogenous intramuscular injection with estrogen and progesterone. After successful establishment of the model
the rats were randomly divided into normal group
model group
and low
medium and high-dose CJSJP groups (3.13
6.26
12.52 g·kg
-1
) and Rupixiao (0.517 g·kg
-1
) group
with 9 rats in each group. After 28 days of administration
estradiol (E
2
)
progesterone (P) and rolactin (PRL) were measured by radioimmunoassay
uterus and ovary coefficients were calculated; nipple diameter and breast histopathology were observed
estrogen receptor-
α
(ER-
α
) expression in mammary gland was measured by immunohistochemistry
and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) mRNA expressions in hypothalamus
pituitary were measured by Real-time PCR. ICR mice were randomly divided into normal group
low
medium and high-dose CJSJP groups (5.2
10.4
20.8 g·kg
-1
) and Luotongding group (0.038 6 g·kg
-1
) according to their body weight. Twelve mice in each group were given drugs for 7 days
and 0.6% acetic acid was injected intraperitoneally for 30 minutes after the last administration. The writhing times were observed within 15 minutes.
Result:
2
Compared with the normal group
the diameter of nipple was widened
serum E
2
was significantly increased (
P
<
0.01)
breast tissue proliferation and ER-
α
expression were increased in model group. compared with model group
the diameter of nipple was significantly decreased in high dose group of CJSJP (
P
<
0.05)
E
2
was decreased in all dose groups of CJSJP
pathological score of breast hyperplasia was decreased in middle and high dose groups of CJSJP
GnRH mRNA in hypothalamus was decreased in all dose groups of CJSJP. The writhing times of mice in high dose group of CJSJP was decreased (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion:
2
Chaijin Sanjie prescription can improve the lesions of breast hyperplasia. The therapeutic mechanism may be related to the regulation of GnRH gene expression in hypothalamus and the decrease of estrogen receptor expression.
