Effects of Jinmaitong Capsule (筋脉通胶囊) on ciliary neurotrophic factor in sciatic nerves of diabetes mellitus rats
摘要
To study the effects of the Chinese medicine Jinmaitong Capsule (筋脉通胶囊
JMT) on the pathomorphology of sciatic nerves
ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)
and the mRNA expressions of CNTF in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (STZ-DM). The animal model was established by one time intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The rats were simply divided by random into 5 groups including model group
low-dose JMT group (JL)
medium-dose JMT group (JM)
high-dose JMT group (JH) and neurotropin group. For each of the above 5 groups
a group of 10 normal Wistar rats matched in body weight
age and gender were set as normal group. Intragastric administrations were started after the animal model established. The JL group were administered with five times the JMT dose recommended for a human adult; the JM group were administered with ten times the JMT dose recommended for a human adult; the JH group were administered with twenty times the JMT dose recommended for a human adult. The neurotropin group was administered with ten times the neurotropin dose recommended for a human adult. All rats were given intragastric administration for 16 weeks and then killed. In the 4th
8th
12th
16th week
body weight and blood glucose level were detected before and after the intervention. The morphologic changes of the sciatic nerves were observed by optical microscope and transmission electron microscope. The CNTFmRNA expressions were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain protein
and the CNTF protein expressions were detected by immunohistochemical method. The blood glucose levels of the STZ-DM rats were much higher than normal group (P<0.01)
and there was no apparent difference between any treatment groups and the model group (P>0.05). Before and after the intervention in the 4th
8th
12th
16th week
there were no significant differences in the body weight among all the groups (P>0.05). The sciatic nerves of STZ-DM rats might have pathomorphological changes in axons
myelin sheaths
and interstitium. The levels of CNTF and CNTF-mRNA expressions in the STZ-DM rats were both significantly decreased (P<0.01). The sciatic nerves of STZ-DM rats might have pathomorphological changes in axons
myelin sheaths
and interstitium. JMT could improve the pathomorphology of sciatic nerves by increasing CNTF’s and CNTF-mRNA expressions in sciatic nerve tissues
and promote the repair and regeneration of damaged nerve fibers.
