[Abstract]
Objective To study the effect of schizandrin B on the hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine kinase B (TrkB)/cyclic adenosine phosphate response element binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway in rats with chronic stress depression. Method Among 40 SD rats, 10 were selected as control group, and the remaining 30 rats were randomly divided into three groups after establishing the chronic stress depression rat model, namely the model group and the fluoxetine hydrochloride group (3 g·kg-1). schisandrin B group (5 g·kg-1). The rats were given by ig administration for eight weeks, once a day. Behavioral experiments were performed to evaluate the depression state of the rats before modeling, after modeling and after the injection. The hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) was used to observe the morphological changes in hippocampus of rats. The immunohistochemical staining (IHC) was used to quantitatively detect BDNF protein expression in rat hippocampus; the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) method was used to quantitatively detect the relative expression of BDNF, TrkB, CREB mRNA in rat hippocampus, and Western blotting was used to quantitatively detect the relative expression of BDNF, TrkB, and CREB protein in rat hippocampus. Results Compared with control group, the horizontal and vertical scores, immobility time and floating time were significantly increased in model group (P<0.05). HE staining results showed that hippocampal neuron structure was damaged. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of BDNF was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expressions of BDNF, TrkB and CREB were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the horizontal and vertical scores were significantly increased and the immobility time and floating time were significantly decreased in fluoxetine hydrochloride group and schisandrin B group (P<0.05), and the hippocampal neuron structure was significantly recovered. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of BDNF was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expressions of BDNF, TrkB and CREB were significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Schisandrin B can significantly improve the depression-like behavior of rats after chronic stress stimulation and enhance the regeneration and repair of neurons in the hippocampus, and the mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway in the hippocampus of rats.
