Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the mechanism underlying the action of Weipixiao (WPX) in a rat's model with ameliorating gastric precancerous lesions (GPL).

METHODS

HPLC analysis was performed to identify the chemical constituents of WPX preparation. Sprague- Dawley rats were randomly assigned into control group, model group, vitacoenzyme group, high-dose WPX group (H-WPX), medium-dose WPX group (M-WPX) and low-dose WPX group (L-WPX). After modeling, the treated rats were administrated WPX or vitacoenzyme intragastrically for consecutive 10 weeks. Gene and protein expressions of GSK3β, C-myc, Cylin E were evaluated by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and immunohistochemistry, respectively.

RESULTS

WPX could efficiently attenuate the pathological alterations of “non-progressive GPL” in rats. As expected, mRNA and protein levels of C-myc and Cylin E were up-regulated in model rats, while GSK3β expression down-regulated (P < 0.01). WPX treatment, especially at low dose, could significantly down-regulate the mRNA as well as protein levels of C-myc, and could lead to remarkable up-regulation of mRNA and protein levels of GSK3β in GPL rats (P < 0.05). However, no significant changes were observed in WPX-treated rats.

CONCLUSION

Our findings suggested that WPX-mediated attenuation of GPL pathological alterations might be due to its regulatory effect on the expressions of GSK3β and C-myc, and on the dysregulation of Wnt/GSK3β pathway.

胃皮消通过调节GSK3β和C-myc改善大鼠胃癌前病变模型

目的探讨胃脾消(WPX)对大鼠胃癌前病变(GPL)的改善作用机制。方法采用高效液相色谱法对WPX制剂进行化学成分鉴定。将Sprague- Dawley大鼠随机分为对照组、模型组、维生素酶组、高剂量WPX组(H-WPX)、中剂量WPX组(M-WPX)和低剂量WPX组(L-WPX)。造模后，给药大鼠灌胃WPX或维酵素，连续10周。采用实时定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)和免疫组织化学分别检测GSK3β、C-myc、Cylin E基因和蛋白的表达。结果swpx能有效减轻大鼠“非进行性GPL”的病理改变。正如预期的那样，模型大鼠C-myc和Cylin E的mRNA和蛋白水平上调，而GSK3β的表达下调(P <0.01)。WPX处理，特别是低剂量处理，可以显著下调GPL大鼠C-myc mRNA和蛋白水平，并导致GSK3β mRNA和蛋白水平显著上调(P <0.05)。然而，在wpx治疗的大鼠中没有观察到明显的变化。结论wpx介导的GPL病理改变的减弱可能与其对GSK3β和C-myc的表达以及对Wnt/GSK3β通路失调的调节作用有关。
