Anti-depressant Mechanism of Qing' ewan in CUMS Rats Based on Estrogen Receptor Pathway
To study the anti-depressive effect of Qing' ewan in treating chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) in rats
and the regulatory effect on estrogen receptor and estrogen receptor-related signaling pathways
in order to explore its anti-depressive mechanism.
Method:
2
The CUMS model was established. The experiment was divided into normal control group
model group
escitalopram oxalate group (positive control) and Qing' ewan groups (1.71
5.13
15.39 g·kg
-1
). After 4 weeks of modeling
rats were treated with corresponding drugs for 2 weeks. Behavioral evaluation [sucrose preference test (SPT)
forced swimming test (FST)
open field test (OFT)] was conducted to assess if the CUMS model was successful. Western blot was used to analyze the protein expression levels of estrogen receptor
α
(ER
α
)
estrogen receptor
β
(ER
β
)
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB).
Result:
2
Compared with the normal group
the sucrose consumption rate and the score of OFT in the model group decreased(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
the immobility time of FST prolonged significantly(
P
<
0.01)
and the protein expression levels of ER
α
ER
β
BDNF and TrkB decreased(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group
the behavioral performance of the treated group was improved
the sucrose consumption rate and the score of OFT increased(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
and the immobility time decreased(
P
<
0.05). The protein expressions of ER
α
ER
β
BDNF and TrkB in the treated group were significantly up-regulated(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
especially the middle-dose Qing' ewan group (5.13 g·kg
-1
).
Conclusion:
2
Qing' ewan can improve depression-like behavior in CUMS rats. Its mechanism may be related to the neuroprotective effect by up-regulating the expressions of ER
α
and ER
β
and activating estrogen receptor-mediated ER
β
/BDNF/TrkB pathways.
