Effect of Jianpi Zhidong Decoction on rats with Tourette syndrome through intrastriatal dopamine system
To observe the effect of Jianpi Zhidong Decoction on intrastriatal dopamine (DA) vesicle circulation of Tourette syndrome (TS) model rats.
Methods
2
Forty-two rats were randomly divided into a blank group (
n
=10) and an experimental group (
n
=32) using a complete randomization method. The experimental group was given intraperitoneal injections of iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) to establish the model, while the blank group was given intraperitoneal injections of an equal volume of saline, once daily for 7 consecutive days for both groups. The 30 successfully modeled rats were then randomly divided into a model group, a Jianpi Zhidong Decoction group (TCM group), and a Tiapride group using a complete randomization method, with 10 rats in each group. The TCM group was given Jianpi Zhidong Decoction granules at 1.6 g/100 g by gavage, and the Tiapride group was given Tiapride suspension at 2.1 mg/100 g by gavage. The blank and model groups were both given saline at 1 mL/100 g by gavage once daily for 4 consecutive weeks. Stereotyped behavior scores in all groups were compared on days 1,8,15,22,29, and 36. The expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine transporter (DAT), vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), and α-synuclein (α-syn) in the striatum was also measured and compared.
Results
2
By day 8, at the end of modeling, the stereotyped behavior scores in the model group and the Tiapride group were higher than those in the blank group (
P
<
0.05). From day 22 onward, the stereotyped behavior sco
res in the TCM and the Tiapride groups were lower than those in the model group (
P
<
0.05), with no statistically significant difference between the TCM and the Tiapride groups at any time point (
P
>
0.05). Compared with the stereotyped behavior scores on day 1, those in the model, TCM, and Tiapride groups increased on days 8 and 15 (
P
<
0.05). However, compared with the stereotyped behavior scores on day 8, those in the TCM and Tiapride groups decreased from day 29 onward (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the blank group, the model group had higher TH protein expression and lower DAT protein expression in the striatum (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group, both the TCM and the Tiapride groups had lower TH protein expression (
P
<
0.05), while the TCM group had higher DAT protein expression (
P
<
0.05). Additionally, compared with the blank group, the model group had higher α-syn protein expression and lower VMAT2 protein expression in the striatum (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group, both the TCM and the Tiapride groups had lower α-syn protein expression and higher VMAT2 protein expression (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Jianpi Zhidong Decoction exerts an anti-tic effect by regulating DA vesicle circulation in the striatum of TS model rats, inhibiting excessive α-syn release, increasing the expression of DAT and VMAT2, and reducing DA content in the synaptic cleft of the brain.
