Objective: To study the effect of Wendan decoction on the contents of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)
interleukin-6(IL-6) and the expression of glutamic acid(Glu) in hippocampus tissue in rats with schizophrenia. Method: Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided six groups:normal group(A)
model group(B)
Wendan decoction high-dosage group(C)
Wendan decoction medium-dosage group(D)
Wendan decoction low-dosage group(E)
and Clozapine group(F)
twelve rats in each group. Before the model was established
the C
D
E groups were respectively given Wendan decoction (40
20
10 g·kg-1)
the F group was given Clozapine (20 mg·kg-1)
the A and B groups were given normal saline every day
which last for 21 days. At the last given Wendan decoction or saline after two hours
the B
C
D
E
F groups were ip given MK801 0.6 mg·kg-1 to establish rat schizophrenia model
and stereotyped behavior of rats were observed. After three days
the rats were sacrificed
the serum and the hippocampus tissue were tested. To observe the CA1 region of the hippocampus by microscope and HE staining.The contents of serum TNF-α
IL-6 were detected by double antibody clip ELASA method. The expression of Glu in hippocampus tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method. Result: Compared with A group
rats of B group appeared stereotyped behavior
the contents of serum TNF-α
IL-6 were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01)and the expression of Glu in hippocampus tissue was decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01)in rats of B group.Compared with B group
stereotyped behavior and pathological change of the CA1 region in hippocampus tissue were improved
Wendan decoction could significantly decrease the contents of serum TNF-α
IL-6(P<0.05 or P<0.01)and increase the expression of Glu in hippocampus tissue(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Wendan decoction could reduce the pathologic lesions of hippocampus tissue in rat with schizophrenia through regulating immune function
decreasing content of the inflammatory factor and increasing the expression of Glu.
