摘要
目的:多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)是一种与矿皮质激素受体(MR)激活相关的代谢综合征,可导致育龄妇女不孕。螺内酯(SPL)是一种磁共振阻滞剂,对多囊卵巢综合征的治疗效果尚无定论。因此,本研究假设低剂量SPL可以改善PCOS相关的代谢功能障碍。方法:将雌性Wistar大鼠(8周龄)分为3组,分别为对照组、SPL组、来曲唑(LET)组和LET + SPL组。对照组给予载药(蒸馏水),皂素处理组给予0.25 mg/kg, LET处理组给予1 mg/kg的LET, LET +皂素处理组给予LET和SPL联合治疗。灌胃给药21 d,不间断给药。采用相应的检测方法测定血脂、丙二醛(MDA)、肿瘤坏死因子-α (TNF-α)、γ-谷氨酰转移酶(GGT)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、睾酮、17-β雌二醇、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)等生化指标。结果:来曲唑治疗组卵巢重量、血浆及卵巢甘油三酯、MDA/TNF-α、GGT/LDH、血浆睾酮均显著高于对照组,血浆17-β雌二醇、血浆/卵巢高密度脂蛋白、GPx均显著低于对照组。此外,与对照组相比,let处理组观察到组织形态学的变化。然而,施用低剂量的SPL减弱了这些扰动。结论:本研究表明,低剂量SPL抑制矿皮质激素受体可改善PCOS大鼠模型的高雄激素代谢功能障碍。因此,低剂量SPL被认为是治疗PCOS的一种有前景的药物。
Mineralocorticoid receptor blockade attenuates hyperandrogenic metabolic dysregulation in letrozole-induced PCOS rat model.
Purpose: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a metabolic syndrome associated with mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation, which causes infertility in women of reproductive age. Spironolactone (SPL) is a MR blocker with inconclusive effect in the treatment of PCOS. Therefore, the present study hypothesized that low dose SPL would ameliorate metabolic dysfunction associated with PCOS.
Methods: Female Wistar rats (8-week-old) were divided into 3 groups namely: Control, SPL, Letrozole (LET)-treated and LET + SPL-treated groups. The control group was given vehicle (distilled water), SPL-treated group received 0.25 mg/kg, LET-treated group received 1 mg/kg of LET and LET + SPL-treated group received a combination of LET and SPL. The administrations were done by oral gavage for 21 days uninterruptedly. Biochemical parameters such as lipid profile, malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), testosterone, 17-β estradiol and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were determined with appropriate assay methods.
Results: Letrozole-treated group had a significant increase in ovarian weight, plasma and ovarian triglycerides, MDA/TNF-α, GGT/LDH and plasma testosterone while it decreased plasma 17-β estradiol and plasma/ovarian high-density lipoproteins and GPx when compared with control group. In addition, histomorphological changes were observed in LET-treated group compared with control group. Nevertheless, administration of low dose SPL attenuated these perturbations.
Conclusion: The present study therefore demonstrates that inhibition of mineralocorticoid receptor by low dose SPL ameliorates hyperandrogenic metabolic dysfunction in a rat model of PCOS. Therefore, low dose SPL is hereby suggested as a promising therapeutic agent in the management of PCOS.
