Study on Protective Effect of Huayu Qutan Decoction on Vascular Dementia
To study the protective effect of Huayu Qutan decoction on vascular dementia (VD) gerbils and to explore whether its mechanism is related to Calcium ion-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (CaMKⅡ)/cyclic adenosine effect element binding protein (CREB)/brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathway.
Method:
2
Forty healthy gerbils were randomly divided into sham operation group
model group
low
medium and high dose groups (5.35
10.7
21.4 g·kg
-1
) of removing blood stasis and expelling phlegm. Eight gerbils in each group were divided into model group and removing blood stasis and expelling phlegm group. Gerbils were given corresponding drugs twice a day after operation. Water maze experiment was conducted 21 days later to investigate the spatial learning and memory ability of gerbils. The expression of p-CaMKⅡ/CaMKⅡ
p-CREB/CREB and BDNF in the hippocampus of gerbils were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.
Result:
2
Compared with sham operation group
the incubation period and the number of platform trips of gerbil in the model group were significantly reduced
p-CaMKⅡ/CaMKⅡ
p-CREB/CREB
and BDNF protein expression were significantly reduced (
P
<
0.01). Compared with model group
the incubation period and the number of platform shuttling of gerbil in Huayu Qutan decoction group were significantly increased
among which the high-dose phlegm dispelling prescription had the most significant effect (
P
<
0.01). The phlegm dispelling prescription could effectively protect pyramidal cells in CA1 region
significantly up-regulating the expression of p-CaMKⅡ/CaMKⅡ
p-CREB/CREB and BDNF protein (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Huayu Qutan decoction improves the learning and memory abilities of gerbils with vascular dementia
and its mechanism may be related to the activation of CaMKⅡ/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway.
