摘要:

氧化损伤和神经炎症与许多神经系统疾病相关。近年来, 研究发现中药补骨脂能够改善中枢神经系统损伤。本研究旨在评价两个来自补骨脂的化合物: 补骨脂宁和补骨脂定的神经保护作用, 并揭示其作用机制。实验结果表明, 补骨脂宁和补骨脂定能够抑制过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导的小鼠海马神经原代细胞(HT22)活性氧(ROS)的生成, 抑制脂多糖(LPS)诱导的小鼠神经小胶质细胞(BV2)一氧化氮(NO)的生成。由于补骨脂宁在低剂量即表现出活性, 且在高剂量时未表现出细胞毒, 因此进一步研究其潜在的神经保护作用机制。在H2O2诱导的HT22细胞中, 补骨脂宁显著增加过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性, 促进谷胱甘肽(GSH)分泌, 抑制线粒体膜电位(MMP)降低。同时上调Nrf2和HO-1蛋白在HT22细胞中的表达。在LPS诱导的BV2细胞中, 补骨脂宁显著抑制炎症因子IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α的分泌, 并能够特异性抑制NF-κB p65转移入核。分子对接结果显示: 补骨脂宁能够进入Keap 1和NF-κB蛋白的疏水口袋, 结合良好。本研究证实, 补骨脂宁能够改善H2O2诱导的氧化损伤和LPS诱导的神经炎症, 其作用机制可能与Nrf2/HO-1和NF-κB信号通路有关。

Abstract:

Oxidative damage and neuroinflammation are associated with numerous neurological diseases. In recent years, Psoraleae Fructus (dried fruits of Psoralea corylifolia L.), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been found to have medicinal properties in ameliorating central nervous system (CNS) injury. This study aimed to evaluate two neuroprotective compounds of Psoraleae Fructus: corylin and psoralidin, and reveal their underlying mechanisms. The results showed that corylin and psoralidin suppressed reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in H2O2-induced HT22 cells and nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV2 cells. Further mechanism research of corylin was carried out owing to its better safety and efficacy. In H2O2-induced HT22 cells, corylin significantly increased catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and glutathione (GSH) expression, while it inhibited mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) reduction. Meanwhile, the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were up-regulated. In LPS-induced BV2 cells, corylin markedly inhibited IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α expressions and specifically suppressed NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. Furthermore, the docking analysis showed that corylin penetrated well into the hydrophobic pockets of Keap 1 and NF-κB protein. This study demonstrated that corylin alleviated oxidative damage and neuroinflammation by activating Nrf2/HO-1 and inhibiting NF-κB pathways, suggesting its potential ability to treat neurological diseases.
