目的 基于Nrf2/D1R-ERK信号通路探讨甘松Nardostachys jatamansi对左旋多巴(levodopa,L-DOPA)诱导的异动症(levodopa-induced dyskinesia,LID)模型大鼠的作用机制。方法 将SD大鼠随机分为假手术组、帕金森(Parkinson’s disease,PD)组、L-DOPA组和甘松+L-DOPA组。PD组、L-DOPA组和甘松+L-DOPA组颈背部sc鱼藤酮葵花籽油(1.5 mg/kg)14 d制备PD模型,假手术组sc等体积葵花籽油,之后进行14 d的药物干预:L-DOPA组ig L-DOPA(100 mg/kg)和苄丝肼(25 mg/kg),甘松+L-DOPA组ig甘松(1240 mg/kg)、L-DOPA(100 mg/kg)和苄丝肼(25 mg/kg),假手术组和PD组ig等体积0.9%氯化钠溶液。通过前肢功能检测实验评估L-DOPA对PD大鼠运动能力的影响;通过异常不自主运动(abnormal involuntary movement,AIM)评分评估L-DOPA导致LID大鼠的AIM程度;采用免疫组化法考察大鼠黑质中酪氨酸羟化酶(tyrosine hydroxylase,TH)的表达;Western blotting法检测大鼠纹状体内转录因子E2相关因子2(nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2,Nrf2)、多巴胺D1受体(dopamine D1 receptor,D1R)、细胞外调节蛋白激酶(extracellular regulated protein kinases,ERK)、磷酸化ERK((phosphorylated ERK,p-ERK)和∆;FosB蛋白的表达;ELISA法检测大鼠脑纹状体中活性氧自由基(reactive oxygen species,ROS)、血红素加氧酶-1(heme oxygenase-1,HO-1)、超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(glutathione peroxidase,GSH-Px)、多巴胺和cAMP调节的磷蛋白-32(dopamine and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-regulated phospho-protein,DARPP-32)和p-DARPP-32的含量。结果 前肢功能检测结果显示,L-DOPA单用和甘松与L-DOPA联用均能显著增加PD大鼠的前肢跨步次数(P<0.001)。AIM评分结果显示,与L-DOPA单用相比,甘松与L-DOPA联用可显著降低LID大鼠的AIM症状(P<0.01)。免疫组化结果显示,PD组和L-DOPA组的TH表达没有显著性差异,而甘松与L-DOPA联用可明显增强PD大鼠的TH表达(P<0.05),同时显著增强L-DOPA单用导致的LID大鼠的TH表达(P<0.01)。Nrf2信号通路结果显示,PD组和L-DOPA组没有显著性差异,而甘松与L-DOPA联用可明显降低PD大鼠的ROS含量(P<0.05),显著促进Nrf2表达(P<0.01),并显著提高HO-1、SOD、GSH-Px的含量(P<0.001);同时还能显著降低LID大鼠的ROS含量(P<0.001),明显提高Nrf2、HO-1、SOD的含量(P<0.05),并显著提高GSH-Px含量(P<0.01)。D1R-ERK信号通路结果显示,甘松与L-DOPA联用能显著降低LID大鼠的D1R表达(P<0.001),同时明显减低∆;FosB、p-DARPP-32/DARPP-32、p-ERK/ERK的表达(P<0.05)。结论 L-DOPA可以改善PD大鼠的运动障碍,但不能降低TH的损伤,而且还会引起氧化应激反应和D1R-ERK通路的过表达。甘松联合L-DOPA给药可明显改善PD大鼠的运动损伤,抑制L-DOPA引起的AIM现象,同时提高TH的表达。其机制可能是甘松通过激活Nrf2通路相关蛋白的表达,并抑制D1R-ERK通路相关蛋白的过表达发挥抗LID作用。

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Nardostachys jatamansi (Nar) on levodopa (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia (LID) model rat based on Nrf2/D1R-ERK signaling pathway. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into sham group, Parkinson’s disease (PD) group, L-DOPA group and Nar + L-DOPA group. Rats in PD group, L-DOPA group, and Nar + L-DOPA group were sc rotenone sunflower oil (1.5 mg/kg) on the back of neck for 14 d to prepare PD model. Rats in sham group was sc same amount of sunflower oil. Then 14 d of drug intervention was carried out: rats in L-DOPA group were ig L-DOPA (100 mg/kg) and benserazide (25 mg/kg), rats in Nar + L-DOPA group were ig Nar (1240 mg/kg), L-DOPA (100mg/kg) and benserazide (25 mg/kg), rats in sham group and PD group were ig same amount of normal saline. Effect of L-DOPA on motor ability of PD rats was evaluated by forelimb function test. Abnormal involuntary movement (AIM) score was used to assess the AIM degree of LID induced by L-DOPA in rats. Expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in substantia nigra of rats was investigated by immunohistochemical staining. Expressions of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), dopamine D1 receptor (D1R), extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), p-ERK and ∆FosB protein in rats striatum was detected by Western blotting. ELISA method was used to detected the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), dopamine and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-regulated phosphoprotein (DARPP-32), p-DARPP-32 in the striatum of rats. ResultsThe results of the forelimb function test showed that L-DOPA alone and Nar + L-DOPA combined significantly increased the number of forelimb strides in PD rats (P< 0.001). The AIM score results showed that compared with L-DOPA alone, the combination of Nar + L-DOPA significantly reduced the AIM symptoms of LID rats (P< 0.01). Immunohistochemical results showed that there was no significant difference in TH expression between PD group and L-DOPA group. The combination of Nar + L-DOPA significantly enhanced TH expression in PD rats (P< 0.05), and significantly enhanced TH expression in LID rats induced by L-DOPA alone (P< 0.01). Nrf2 signaling pathway showed no significant difference between PD group and L-DOPA group. The combination of Nar + L-DOPA significantly decreased ROS content (P< 0.05), significantly promoted Nrf2 expression (P<0.01), significantly increased the contents of HO-1, SOD and GSH-Px of PD rats (P< 0.001). The combination of Nar + L-DOPA significantly decreased ROS content (P< 0.001), significantly increased Nrf2, HO-1, SOD content (P< 0.05), and increased GSH-Px content in LID rats (P< 0.01). D1R-ERK signaling pathway results showed that the combination of Nar + L-DOPA significantly decreased the expression of D1R in LID rats (P< 0.001), significantly reduced the expressions of ∆FosB, p-DARPP-32/DARPP-32 and p-ERK/ERK (P< 0.05). Conclusion L-DOPA can alleviate dyskinesia in PD rats, but it can not reduce the damage of TH, and can induce an oxidative stress response and overexpression of D1R-ERK pathway. Nar combined with L-DOPA significantly alleviated the motor injury of PD rats, inhibited AIM phenomenon caused by L-DOPA and increased TH expression. The mechanism may be that Nar plays an anti-LID role by activating the expression of related proteins in Nrf2 pathway and inhibiting the overexpression of related proteins in D1R-ERK pathway.
