目的:观察银杏提取物EGb761对大鼠视神经损伤后视网膜神经节细胞自噬活性及自噬流的影响,并探讨其作用机制。方法:将48只SD大鼠随机分为EGb761组和对照组,分别给予EGb761(150mg/kg·d)和0.9%氯化钠注射液灌胃,均每天1次,直到处死。分别于损伤后第7天、第14天取材,采用免疫组化检测2组视网膜神经节细胞自噬相关蛋白LC3B、自噬标记蛋白p62及自噬基因Beclin-1及mTOR通路蛋白p-mTOR、p-S6表达水平,腺病毒GFP-mRFP-LC3荧光瞬时转染技术检测自噬流表达。结果:与对照组相比,EGb761组LC3B表达水平升高,p62、p-mTOR和p-S6蛋白表达水平均下降(均P<0.05);2组Beclin-1差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);2组GFP和mRFP荧光点数比较,EGb761组的红点多于对照组,黄点少于对照组(均P<0.05)。结论:EGb761能够促进大鼠视神经损伤后视网膜神经节细胞自噬流,其机制可能与促进mTOR信号通路中的相关蛋白表达有关。 |

Abstract: |
Objective:To investigate the effect of EGb761,a gingko extract,on the autophagy activity and autophagy flux of retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve damage in rats and its mechanism of action.Methods:A total of 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into EGb761 group and control group and were treated with EGb761(150 mg/kg/day) or 0.9% sodium chloride injection by gavage once a day until being sacrificed.Samples were collected at 7 and 14 days after damage;immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of autophagy-related protein microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B(LC3B),autophagy marker protein p62,autophagic gene Beclin-1,and mTOR pathway proteins p-mTOR and p-S6,and adenovirus GFP-mRFP-LC3 transient transfection was used to measure the expression of autophagy flux.Results:Compared with the control group,the EGb761 group had a significant increase in the expression of LC3B and significant reductions in the expression of p62,p-mTOR,and p-S6(all P<0.05).There was no significant difference in Beclin-1 between the two groups(P>0.05).As for the comparison of fluorescence spots of GFP and mRFP,the EGb761 group had more red spots and fewer yellow spots than the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion:EGb761 can promote autophagy flux of retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve damage in rats,possibly by promoting the expression of proteins involved in the mTOR signaling pathway. |
