目的探讨柴金解郁安神片调控钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶Ⅱ(CaMKII)和Cofilin双信号通路,改善抑郁症海马谷氨酸能神经元突触重塑的分子机制。方法皮质酮联合脂多糖建立抑郁症体外细胞模型,实验设正常组、模型组、GR阻断剂组、GR激动剂组、CX3CR1阻断剂组、CX3CR1激动剂组、柴金解郁安神片组、柴金解郁安神片联合GR激动剂组、柴金解郁安神片联合CX3CR1激动剂组,观察星形胶质细胞、小胶质细胞、前扣带皮层(anterior cingulate cortex,ACC)和海马神经元形态结构变化;检测ACC和海马谷氨酸能神经元激活及突触重塑情况;免疫荧光、Western blot分别检测海马谷氨酸能神经元内突触重塑相关谷氨酸受体2A(GRIN2A)、GRIN2B、CaMKII、MK2、Cofilin蛋白表达水平。结果柴金解郁安神片能明显改善胶质细胞、ACC和海马神经元损伤,并抑制ACC和海马谷氨酸能神经元异常激活,同时下调GRIN2A、GRIN2B、MK2蛋白,上调CaMKII、Cofilin蛋白,继而改善海马谷氨酸能神经元突触可塑性损伤和突触重塑。结论柴金解郁安神片能有效改善抑郁症海马谷氨酸能神经元突触重塑,其分子机制与调节突触重塑相关NR/CaMKII、MK2/Cofilin信号通路有关。

Aim To reveal the mechanism of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen tablets(CJJYAS)regulating CaMKII and Cofilin dual signal pathway to improve synaptic remodeling of glutaminergic hippocampal neurons in depression.Methods The cell model of depression was established by corticosterone and lipopolysaccharide.The cells were randomly divided into the control group,model group,GR blocker group,GR agonist group,CX3CR1 blocker group,CX3CR1 agonist group,CJJYAS group,CJJYAS combined with GR agonist group,and CJJYAS combined with CX3CR1 agonist group.Cell imaging analysis was used to observe the morphological and structural changes of astrocytes,microglia,anterior cingulate cortex(ACC)and hippocampal(HPC)glutaminergic neurons.Immunofluorescence was used to test the activation of ACC and HPC glutaminergic neurons and synaptic remodeling.Immunofluorescence and Western blot were respectively used to detect the expressions of synaptic remodeling-related proteins N-methyl-D-asprtate receptor 2A(GRIN2A),GRIN2B,CaMKII,MK2 and Cofilin in HPC glutaminergic neurons.Results CJJYAS could significantly improve the morphological and structural damage of astrocytes,microglia,ACC and HPC neurons.Furthermore,CJJYAS markedly restrained the excessive activation of ACC and HPC glutaminergic neurons and the hippocampal synaptic plasticity damage and synaptic remodeling via down-regulating GRIN2A,GRIN2B and MK2 proteins,and up-regulating CaMKII and Cofilin protein.Conclusions CJJYAS effectively alleviate the synaptic remodeling of glutaminergic hippocampal neurons in depression,and its molecular mechanism might be associated with the regulation of synapse-related NR/CaMKII and MK2/Cofilin signaling pathways.
