Effect of Zuoguiwan on mRNA Expression of Orexin and Its Receptors in Hypothalamus of Ovariectomized Rats
To observe the mRNA levels of Orexin and its receptors in the hypothalamus of ovariectomized osteoporosis rats
in order to explore the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis(PMOP) and the mechanism Zuoguiwan.
Method:
2
An osteoporosis model induced by ovariectomy was established in rats. Totally 32 female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group
ovariectomized model group
17
β
-estradiol treated positive group
and Zuoguiwan group
with 8 rates in each group. After 12 weeks of intragastric administration
the bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular microstructural changes of femur were detected by micro-CT (
μ
-CT)
and the morphological changes of bone tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) staining. The markers of bone turnover in serum osteocalcin (OCN)
N
-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen (PINP)
tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expressions of orexin
orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) were measured by Real-time PCR.
Result:
2
Compared with sham-operated group
the
μ
-CT showed that BMD
bone volume fraction(BV/TV)
trabecular thickness(Tb. Th)and trabecular number(Tb. N)in ovariectomized model group were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.01)
while Trabecular Separation(Tb. Sp) was increased (
P
<
0.01)
and the bone trabeculae were obviously sparse
and the spacing was widened. HE staining showed that the trabecular bone was significantly rare
the structure was incomplete
the arrangement was loose
and the spacing was widened. ELISA showed that serum osteocalcin (OCN)
and
N
-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen (PINP) levels decreased
and the microstructure was significantly improved.serum OCN and PINP increased (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
while TRAP content decreased (
P
<
0.01)
the mRNA expressions of Orexin
OX1R and OX2R in the hypothalamus were significantly up-regulated (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Decreased mRNA levels of Orexin and its receptors in the hypothalamus may be one of the mechanisms of PMOP. Zuoguiwan may correct the imbalance of bone metabolism
improve the trabecular microstructure and improve bone by up-regulating the mRNA expressions of Orexin and its receptors in the hypothalamus
