电针听宫和翳风穴对豚鼠听皮层糖代谢及IGF-1表达的影响

Effects of Electroacupuncture at Tinggong and Yifeng on Glucose Metabolism and IGF-1 Expression in the Auditory Cortex of Guinea Pigs

目的探讨电针听宫穴和翳风穴对豚鼠听皮层葡萄糖代谢和胰岛素样生长因子-1(insulin like growth factor-1,IGF-1)表达的影响。方法将成年杂色豚鼠18只随机分为3组,电针耳穴组7只,同时电针双侧听宫和翳风穴,持续15分钟,每日1次,共7天;电针非穴位组6只,电针听宫穴靠眼侧方5mm处和翳风穴正下方5mm处,时间同电针耳穴组;对照组5只不作任何处理,常规饲养。各组完成电针后进行PET/CT扫描,获得CT、PET及两者融合图像,观察豚鼠听皮层摄取显像剂18F-脱氧葡萄糖的情况,以听皮层和小脑最大标准摄入值(standard uptake value,SUV)的比值为观察指标;采用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测豚鼠听皮层IGF-1mRNA表达。结果对照组、电针耳穴组、电针非耳穴组听皮层SUV最大值与小脑SUV最大值的比值分别为0.75±0.06、0.84±0.05和0.71±0.06,电针耳穴组高于对照组和电针非耳穴组,(分别为P=0.042,P=0.009);对照组、电针耳穴组、电针非耳穴组听皮层局部IGF-1mRNA相对表达量分别为1.34±0.24、2.03±0.36、0.92±0.23,电针耳穴组高于对照组和电针非耳穴组(分别为P=0.002,P<0.001)。结论电针针刺听宫和翳风穴可增加豚鼠听皮层局部IGF-1的表达,可能通过提高葡萄糖代谢水平促进豚鼠听皮层的功能。

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of electroacupuncture at Tinggong and Yifeng on the local expression of insulin like growth factor-1 （IGF-1） and glucose metabolism in the auditory cor‐tex of guinea pig .Methods Eighteen Adult pigmented guinea pigs were randomly divided into 3 groups .Guinea pigs in electroacupuncture at auricular points group （EAPG ,n= 7） were electroacupunctured at Tinggong and Yifeng acupoints simultaneously for 15 minutes every day ,and electroacupunctur lasted 7 days .The electroacupuncture at non acupoint group （ENAG ,n=6） was electroacupunctured at non acupoints for the same time .The control group （CG ,n=5） received no treatment .After anesthetized ,guinea pigs were injected 18 F-FDG via dorsocuboidal vein , and scanned by PET/CT .PET image and CT image were processed and reconstructed in the workstation to observe the uptake of imaging agent in the brain of guinea pigs .The maximum SUV values and its ratios between auditory cortex and cerebellum were measured .The expression of IGF-1 mRNA were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR .The results were analyzed by the one-way ANOVA and P〈0 .05 means statistical significance . Results 1 .Changes in glucose energy metabolism in the auditory cortex .The ratios of the maximum SUV value betweenthe auditory cortex and cerebellum were 0 .75 ± 0 .06 ,0 .84 ± 0 .05 and 0 .71 ± 0 .06 for CG ,EAPG and ENAG re‐spectively .There was a significant difference between the CG and EAPG （P=0 .042） ,the EAPG and ENAG （P=0 .009） ,and no significant difference between the CG and ENAG （P=0 .361） .2 .The fold changes in IGF-1 mR‐NA were 1 .34 ± 0 .24 ,2 .03 ± 0 .36 and 0 .92 ± 0 .23 for CG ,EAPG and ENAG respectively .There was a significant increase in IGF-1 mRNA expression in auditory cortex of the EAPG （P=0 .002 ,compared with the CG） ,and a significant difference between the EAPG and ENAG groups （P〈0 .001） .Conclusion 1 .Acupuncturing at Tinggong and Yifeng point can improve glucose metabolism in the auditory cortex of guinea pig . 2 . Acupuncturing at Tinggong and Yifeng point can result in increase of the local expression of IGF-1 in the auditory cortex of guinea pig .
