Effect of Sijunzi Decoction on the Myonuclear Domain of Rat Soleus in Spleen Qi Deficiency

Objective: To study the mechanism of Sijunzi decoction treating limb weakness in spleen Qi deficiency (SQD) based on the myonuclear domain (MND) theory. Methods: 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the normal group, SQD model group (model group), SQD+ still water group (SW group) and SQD+ Sijunzi decoction group (CM group), 10 rats each group;Grip-Strength Meter was used to measure limb grip strength;transmission electron microscope was employed to observe the ultrastructural changes of the myofibers, Image Pro 6.0 was used to measure the myonuclear numbers, cross-section area (CSA) and then their ratios (the MND sizes) were calculated, immunofluorescence assay was chosen to test the expressions of paired box gene 7 (Pax7) and myogenic differentiation antigen (MyoD). Results: Compared with those in the normal group, limb grip strength was decreased, sarcomeres were abnormal, and all the myonuclear numbers, CSA and MND sizes were reduced, but the Pax7+ cell numbers were increased, significantly, in the model and SW groups;Compared with those in the model and SW groups, limb grip strength was increased, sarcomeres were basically normal, the myonuclear number and CSA were both greater, and the Pax7+ and MyoD+ cell numbers were both increased, significantly, in the CM group. Conclusion: Sijunzi decoction might increase the myonuclear number by activating the MSCs to treat limb weakness in SQD.

Exosomes promote the invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells via an integrin-dependent manner in the spleen-deficient state

Background:To investigate the detailed mechanism underlying the pro-metastatic effect of spleen deficiency(SD)syndrome on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods:In the present study,our model was established based on an HCC mouse model induced by diethylnitrosamine using reserpine to induce SD.Exosomes were isolated and purified from mouse plasma samples using an exosome isolation kit.Subsequently,we verified the pro-metastatic effects of exosomes from the HCC mice with SD on HCC cells by transwell assays,wound healing assays,phalloidin staining in vitro,and lung metastasis assay of mice in vivo.Finally,we further explored the detailed mechanism underlying the pro-metastatic effect of exosomes from the HCC mice with SD on HCC cells.Results:We found that SD promoted the malignant progression of HCC in mice.Exosomes from HCC mice with SD enhanced the invasion and metastasis of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo.Mechanistically,upregulation of integrinα1,integrinβ1,and integrinβ5 seemed to play a key role in mediating the pro-metastatic effect of exosomes isolated from the HCC mice with SD,which was largely abrogated upon co-treatment with a broad-spectrum integrin inhibitor.Conclusion:Our findings demonstrated that exosomes promote the invasion and metastasis of HCC cells via an integrin-dependent manner in the spleen-deficient state that would contribute to our better understanding of the role of SD in HCC progression in traditional Chinese medicine,and thus management of the disease.

Study on the Expression of Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide (oatp2a1) in Rat with Spleen Deficiency Syndrome and the Exploration of Clinical Significance

Objective: to explore the mechanism of transportation and transformation of dampness by the way of the expression of organic anion transporting polypeptide (oatp) superfamily member 2a1 (oatp2a1) mRNA in rat with spleen deficiency syndrome and the significance in transportation and transformation of dampness. Methods: 32 wistar male rats were divided randomly into four groups: normal group (n = 6), normal + AA group (n = 6), spleen deficiency group (n = 10), Spleen deficiency + AA group (n = 10). After reserpine-induced spleen deficiency model was made, intragastric administration of aristolochic acid (AA) was adopted for three days, the expression of oatp2a1 mRNA were detected in the tissues of lung, liver, kidney, stomach, small intestine and large intestine in four groups by using Fluorescent Quantitative-Polymerase Chain Reaction (FQ-PCR). Results: the expression of oatp2a1 mRNA in above six tissues could be detected. The ex-pression of oatp2a1 mRNA in liver tissue of rat with spleen deficiency syndrome was up-regulated compared to normal group (P = 0.035, P < 0.05), the expression of oatp2a1 mRNA in small intestinal tissue of rat with spleen deficiency syndrome was down-regulated compared to normal group (P = 0.004, P < 0.01), the expression of oatp2a1 in intestinal tissue in normal + AA group is down-regulated compared to normal group (P = 0.032, P < 0.05). Conclusions: oatp2a1 might be one of the material basis involved in transportation and transformation of dampness. The changes of expression of oatp2a1 mRNA in small intestine, liver tissue suggests that small intestine, liver might play an important role in the transportation and transformation of dampness in the state of spleen deficiency. We further concluded that the function of spleen’s governing transportation and transformation of dampness was not only including the function of the gastrointestinal, but also part of the liver function in some degree, which needs to be further studied.
