Ban’s Culuan Zhuyun Decoction improves oocyte quality in polycystic ovary syndrome mice

背景:班氏促卵助孕汤改善多囊卵巢综合征卵母细胞质量的分子机制亟待完善补充。目的:探讨班氏促卵助孕汤对多囊卵巢综合征小鼠卵母细胞质量的影响和分子机制。方法:21 d龄雌性昆明小鼠颈部皮下注射硫酸脱氢表雄酮构建多囊卵巢综合征模型,连续给药21 d,记录动情周期及妊娠情况,ELISA检测血清性激素水平,Annexin V染色检测卵母细胞凋亡率,DCFH-DA荧光探针检测卵母细胞内活性氧水平,免疫荧光法观察卵母细胞纺锤体及染色体情况,网络药理学及分子对接验证班氏促卵助孕汤核心有效成分与卵母细胞成熟相关因子(生长分化因子9和骨形态发生蛋白15)结合活性,实时荧光定量PCR和Western blot检测卵母细胞中生长分化因子9和骨形态发生蛋白15的mRNA及蛋白表达水平。结果与结论:①班氏促卵助孕汤中的成分(槲皮素、山奈酚、β-谷甾醇)与生长分化因子9、骨形态发生蛋白15具有良好的结合活性;②班氏促卵助孕汤能恢复小鼠动情期,改善性激素紊乱和妊娠情况,降低细胞凋亡率、活性氧水平、纺锤体组装异常率、染色体丢失率(P<0.01,P<0.05),促进生长分化因子9、骨形态发生蛋白15 mRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.01,P<0.05)。结果表明,班氏促卵助孕汤可能通过调控生长分化因子9和骨形态发生蛋白15的基因表达,改善多囊卵巢综合征小鼠卵母细胞质量,提高生育力。

BACKGROUND:It is urgent to improve the study on the molecular mechanism of Ban’s Culuan Zhuyun Decoction improving oocyte quality in polycystic ovary syndrome.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of Ban’s Culuan Zhuyun Decoction on oocyte quality in a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome and to explore the underlying mechanisms of its intervention in polycystic ovary syndrome.METHODS:Subcutaneous injection of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate was used to establish the polycystic ovary syndrome model in 21-day-old female Kunming mice,and the treatment was conducted for 21 consecutive days.The estrous cycle and pregnancy was recorded.ELISA was used to detect serum sex hormone levels.The rate of apoptosis in oocytes was detected using Annexin V staining.The level of reactive oxygen species in oocytes was detected using dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate.The condition of spindle bodies and chromosomes in oocytes were detected using the immunofluorescence method.Network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to verify the binding properties of Ban’s Culuan Zhuyun Decoction core active components and oocyte maturation-related factors(growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15).Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15 in oocytes,respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Ban’s Culuan Zhuyun Decoction core active components(quercetin,kaempferol,andβ-sitosterol)showed good binding activities with growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15.(2)Ban’s Culuan Zhuyun Decoction ameliorated the estrous cycle,regulated serum hormone,increased the pregnancy,decreased the rate of apoptosis,declined the level of reactive oxygen species,diminished the rate of abnormal spindle assembly and chromosome loss(P<0.01,P<0.05);and promoted the mRNA and protein expression of growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15(P<0.05).Therefore,Ban’s Culuan Zhuyun Decoction may improve the oocyte quality and increase the fertility of polycystic ovary syndrome mice by regulating the gene expression of growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15.
