METHODS: Eighty-five rats were divided into four groups: control, model, Huogu 15 g/kg and Huogu 30 g/kg. Six weeks later, animals were anaesthe- tized, femora were dissected for histopathologicalexamination of the osteonecrotic changes and re- pair processes, micro computed tomography (Mi- cro-CT)-based micro-angiography was performed to assess vascularization. Serum lipid levels were detected by haematological examination. The ex- pressions of PPARy, Wnt3a, low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) and 13-catenin were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses. RESULTS: The incidence of osteonecrosis, ratio of empty lacuna, adipose tissue area and adipocyte perimeter in the bone marrow were dramatically lower in the Huogu ~ formula treatment groups. By micro-CT quantification, Huogu ~ formula treat- ment dose-dependently increased vessel volume, vessel surface, percentage of vessel volume and vessel thickness of the femoral heads of SONFH rats. Levels of serum lipid in Huogu 15 g/kg and Huogu 30 g/kg groups reduced significantly. HuoguⅠformula treatment could suppress the ex- pression of PPARy and increase the expressions of Wnt3a, LRP5 and 13-catenin at both protein and mRNA levels. CONCLUSION: The results of our present study highlight the lipid-lowering potential of Huogu Ⅰ formula, and provide further evidence of the in- volvement of the PPARy inhibition and Wnt/LRPS/ 13-catenin signaling activation in the effects of Huogu Ⅰ formula.展开更多
