摘要:

丹皮酚是从中国传统中药材牡丹皮根部所提取的活性成分, 具有抗炎和保护心血管等多种生物活性。在本次实验, 丹皮酚抗动脉粥样硬化的效应贯穿于ApoE基因缺陷小鼠动脉粥样硬化疾病发展的各个时期。将ApoE基因缺陷小鼠随机分成五组, 并分别给予高胆固醇(HCD)喂养51525, 然后分别灌胃给丹皮酚或阿托伐他汀6周时间。采用ELISA法检测血清中脂质和细胞因子水平, 蛋白质印迹法检测蛋白表达, 采用HE和油红染色法对胸主动脉病变区域进行评估。结果显示, 在动脉粥样硬化疾病过程的各个阶段, 丹皮酚均能显着降低ApoE–/–小鼠的体重、血脂、总胆固醇(TC)甘油三酯(TG)和低密度脂蛋白(LDL-C)水平。丹皮酚还可降低血清中的炎症因子、如肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白介素(IL)-6、氧化型低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(ox-LDL-C)水平。在丹皮酚组中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)HCD组相比显著增加而MDA(丙二醛)水平显著降低(P<0.01)丹皮酚显著减弱富含脂质斑块的厚度, 下调小鼠主动脉中血管细胞粘附因子(VCAM-1)和金属基质蛋白酶(MMP-9)的表达, 这表明丹皮酚可抑制斑块形成并稳定斑块。丹皮酚在ApoE基因缺陷小鼠动脉粥样硬化疾病发展的各个时期发挥了调节脂质、抗炎和抗氧化的效应, 显示出其具有抗血脂异常和抗动脉粥样硬化的作用。

Abstract:

As an active component extracted from Chinese herb moutan cortex and roots of paeonia lactiflora pallas, paeonol possesses many biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and vascular protection activities. In this study, athero-protectiveeffects of paeonol were investigated in apoliprotein E deficient (ApoE–/–) mice through the entire course of atherosclerotic development. ApoE–/– mice were divided into five groups and fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) for 5, 15 and 25 weeks. Then they were fed either paeonol or atorvastatin for 6 weeks. The methods, such as ELISA for serum lipid and cytokine analyses, Western blotting for protein expressions, and H&E and oil-red o-staining method, were used for evaluation of thoracic aorta lesion area. The results showed that paeonol could significantly reduce body weight, blood lipid, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) in ApoE–/– mice at all stages of the atherosclerosis process. Paeonol also reduced the levels of anti-inflammation factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, oxidized LDL cholesterol (ox-LDL), in serum. In paeonol groups, SOD was significantly increased, whereas MDA was decreased compared with the HCD group (P<0.01). Paeonol markedly attenuated the thickness of the lipid-rich plaque and down-regulated the expressions of VCAM-1 and MMP-9 in aorta of mice, suggesting that paeonol could inhibit formation of plaque and stabilize plaques. Taken together, paeonol appeared to have anti-dyslipidemia and anti-atherosclerotic effects by lipid regulation, and it could inhibit the effects of inflammation and oxidative stress on HCD-fed ApoE–/– mice through the entire course of atherosclerotic development.

Key words: Paeonol, ApoE-deficient mice, Atherosclerosis, Lipids regulation, Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant activities
