摘要
目的:观察电针"曲池"穴对侧脑室慢性灌流血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)高血压大鼠平均动脉压、交感神经活性、压力感受敏感性,以及延髓头端腹外侧区(RVML)内脑源性神经生长因子(BDNF)和还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸(NADPH)酶亚单位p 47phox表达的影响。方法:SD大鼠随机分为假手术组、aCSF组、模型组、曲池组、肩髃组,每组9只。其中模型组、曲池组、肩髃组大鼠使用Alzet微渗透泵分别经侧脑室慢性灌流AngⅡ(200μg·kg-1·d-1),而aCSF组给予人工脑脊液(aCSF)灌流。曲池组给予电针"曲池"穴治疗,"肩髃"组给予电针"肩髃"穴治疗,均每日1次,每次20min,共治疗2周。使用无创系统测量清醒大鼠的平均动脉压(MAP)、心率(HR)、24h尿去甲肾上腺素(NE)水平和压力感受敏感性;Real-time PCR和Western blot方法检测RVML内BDNF和p 47phox mRNA和蛋白的表达。结果:与aCSF组比较,模型组大鼠的MAP、HR和24h尿NE水平均显著增加(P<0.01),压力反射敏感性显著降低(P<0.01)。与模型组比较,曲池组大鼠的MAP、HR和24h尿NE水平显著降低(P<0.05),压力反射敏感性显著增加(P<0.05)。曲池组的RVML内BDNF mRNA和蛋白水平均较模型组显著升高(P<0.05);而曲池组RVML内p 47phox mRNA和蛋白的表达与模型组比较显著下降(P<0.05)。结论:电针"曲池"穴可抑制中枢AngⅡ诱发的动脉血压升高和交感神经活性增加,并提高压力感受敏感性。该效应可能是通过上调RVML内BDNF,并抑制脑内病理性血管紧张素Ⅱ引发的异常交感神经活性而达到的。
Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA)stimulation of"Quchi"(LI 11)on arterial blood pressure(BP),sympathetic nerve activity,barorefiex sensitivity(BRS)and expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)enzyme subunit p 47 phox in the rostral ventrolateral medulla(RVML)in hypertension rats.Methods A total of 45 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation,artificial cerebro-spinal fluid(aCSF),model,"Quchi"(LI 11),and Jianyu(LI 15)groups(n=9in each group).The hypertension model was established by microinjection of AngⅡ(200μg·kg-1·day-1)into the lateral ventricle(A-C:1.0mm,L:1.4mm,H:4.5mm)for 2weeks(aCSF for aCSF group).After 1week's AngⅡ perfusion,EA(2Hz/15 Hz,1mA)was applied to bilateral"Quchi"(LI 11)or"Jianyu"(LI 15)for 20 min,once daily for two weeks.The mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)were detected by using a Non-Invasive Blood Pressure System(tail cuff method).The BRS(BP-to-HR transfer function)was determined by calculating the ratio of HR fluctuation(HR∶HR,between post-and pre-intravenous injection of phenylephrine)/MAP fluctuation(MAP∶MAP,between post-and pre-phenylephrine injection),the urinary norepinephrine(NE)level in 24 hwas assayed by ELISA.Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of BDNF and p 47 phox in the RVML region tissue.Results Following modeling,the MAP,HR and 24h-urinary NE levels and p 47 phox mRNA and protein expression levels in the RVML were significantly increased(P<0.01),and the BRS was decreased significantly(P<0.01).After EA intervention,the MAP,HR and 24h-urinary NE levels and p 47 phox mRNA and protein expression levels in the RVML were considerably lower in the LI 11 group than in the model group(P<0.05),while the BRS level was markedly increased in the LI 11 group compared with the model group(P<0.05).The expression levels of BDNF mRNA and protein in the RVLM region were obviously up-regulated in the LI 11 group compared with the model group(P<0.05).No significant differences were found between the LI 15 group and the model group in the MAP,HR,24h-urinary NE,BRS,BDNF mRNA and protein and p 47 phox mRNA and protein expression levels(P>0.05).Conclusion EA stimulation of"Quchi"(LI 11)can down-regulate arterial blood pressure,sympathetic nerve activity,and increase the baroreflex sensitivity in hypertension rats,which may be related to its effects in down-regulating p 47 phox mRNA and protein expression in the RVML.
