Objective To explore the effect of Bushen Huoxue Decoction (BSHX) on antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) model and its regulatory mechanism on neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Methods Mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group, model group, aspirin (positive drug, 0.585 mg·kg-1) group and BSHX low and high dose (5.8, 11.60 g·kg-1) groups. Except for the control group, APS mouse models were established by β2 glycoprotein I (β2GP-I), and intragastric administration was given for 15 days, twice a day. The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 in serum were determined by ELISA. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and prothrombin time (PT) in plasma were detected by a fully automatic coagulation analyzer. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro, and APS models were prepared by stimulating with 60 μmol·L-1 β2GP-I. Different concentrations of BSHX were incubated for 24 hours. The effect of BSHX (40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320 μg·mL-1) on cell survival rate was detected by MTT assay. The effect of BSHX (80, 120 μg·mL-1) on reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels was detected by fluorescence imaging combined with flow cytometry. The effect of BSHX (120 μg·mL-1) on cell migration ability was detected by Transwell assay. The formation of NETs was detected by immunofluorescence and kit method. The expression levels of inflammatory-related (IL-6, TNF-α), cell adhesion-related [intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)], coagulation function-related [tissue factor (TF), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)], NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), p38, extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) proteins were detected by Western blotting. HUVECs cells were divided into control group, model group, BSHX (120 μg·mL-1) group and MK-2206 group (Akt inhibitor, 100 nmol·L-1), and the expression of ERK, p47, JNK, p38 and phosphorylated proteins was detected by Western blotting. Results Compared with the model group, after administration of BSHX to APS mice, APTT, TT and PT were significantly increased, and the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were inhibited (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001), indicating that BSHX can alleviate the hypercoagulable state of blood and anti-inflammation. Compared with the model group, BSHX could significantly improve the cell survival rate of HUVECs in APS models, reduce ROS levels and cell migration ability, inhibit the formation of NETs, and inhibit the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, TF, PAI-1, NOX2, p-JNK, p-ERK and p-p38 proteins (P < 0.01, 0.001); after administration of Akt pathway inhibitor, the expression of p-ERK, p-p47, p-JNK, p-p38 and NOX2 proteins was significantly reduced (P < 0.01, 0.001). Conclusion BSHX might exert therapeutic effects on APS by regulating the generation of NETs through the Akt/ERK signaling pathway.
