摘要:
    目的 探讨针康法调节环鸟苷酸腺苷酸合成酶(cGAS)/干扰素基因刺激因子(STING)通路相关蛋白表达对缺血缺氧性脑损伤(HIBD)新生大鼠神经炎症的影响。方法 将Wistar大鼠随机分为假手术组、模型组、针刺组、康复组、针康组(n=30)。采用改良Rice-Vannucci法构建HIBD新生大鼠模型,假手术组和模型组不予干预;针刺组进行头穴丛刺治疗,选取百会穴及双侧旁开2 mm处针刺,快速捻转1 min后留针2 h,1次/d;康复组进行转笼转棒训练,1次/d,10 min/次;针康组在头穴丛刺留针期间同步进行转笼转棒训练。干预结束7、14 d后,采用Longa评分法评估大鼠神经功能缺损情况;HE染色观察大鼠缺血侧大脑皮质组织病理学改变;TUNEL法观察神经细胞凋亡率;ELISA测定脑组织肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素(IL)-6、IL-1β、IL-18水平;Western blot测定大鼠缺血侧大脑皮质中cGAS、STING、NOD样受体蛋白3(NLRP3)蛋白表达水平。结果 与假手术组比较,模型组7、14 d的Longa评分增加(P<0.01),缺血侧大脑皮质组织细胞萎缩、排列松散、伴胞核模糊及水肿,神经细胞凋亡率升高(P<0.01),脑组织TNF-α、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-18含量和cGAS、STING、NLRP3蛋白相对表达水平升高(P<0.01)。与模型组比较,各治疗组7、14 d的Longa评分降低(P<0.05),大脑皮质病理损伤得到改善,神经细胞凋亡率降低(P<0.05),脑组织TNF-α、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-18含量和cGAS、STING、NLRP3蛋白相对表达水平降低(P<0.05)。与针刺组、康复组比较,针康组7、14 d的Longa评分降低(P<0.05),大脑皮质病理损伤改善更明显,神经细胞凋亡率降低(P<0.05),脑组织TNF-α、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-18含量和cGAS、STING、NLRP3蛋白相对表达水平降低(P<0.05)。结论 针康法可能通过抑制c GAS/STING通路的异常激活,降低NLRP3炎症小体活性,进而改善HIBD新生大鼠神经炎症损伤情况,促进神经功能恢复。

Abstract:
    Objective To investigate the effects of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on neuroinflammation in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) by regulating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes(STING) pathway-related protein expressions. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, model group, acupuncture group, rehabilitation group, and acupuncture-rehabilitation group(n =30). The modified Rice-Vannucci method was applied to establish HIBD neonatal rat model. The sham-operated and model groups were given no intervention;the acupuncture group received cluster acupuncture at the scalp acupoints of Baihui(GV20) and two adjacent points located 2 mm lateral to it on both sides, with rapid needle twirling for 1 minute followed by 2-hour needle retention, once per day; the rehabilitation group received rotating cage and rod training, 10 minutes per session, once per day; and the acupuncturerehabilitation group received simultaneous rotating cage and rod training during the needle retention period of scalp cluster acupuncture. On days 7 and 14 after intervention, the neurological deficits of rats were assessed by Longa score; HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats; TUNEL assay was used to observe the apoptosis rate of neuronal cells; ELISA was employed to measure the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-18 in the brain tissues; Western blot was conducted to check the protein expression levels of cGAS, STING, and NLRP3 in the ischemic cortex. Results Compared with the sham-operated group, the model group showed significantly increased Longa scores on days 7 and 14(P<0.01), with neuronal atrophy, disorganized cellular arrangement, nuclear blurring, and edema in the ischemic cerebral cortex. The neuronal apoptosis rate increased(P<0.01). The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-18, and the relative protein expressions of c GAS, STING, and NLRP3 were all significantly elevated(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all treatment groups showed reduced Longa scores on days 7 and 14(P<0.05), improved pathological damage in the cerebral cortex,decreased neuronal apoptosis(P<0.05), and reduced content of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-18, as well as lower relative protein expression levels of cGAS, STING, NLRP3 in brain tissues(P<0.05). Compared with the acupuncture and rehabilitation groups,the acupuncture-rehabilitation group demonstrated greater reductions in Longa scores on days 7 and 14(P<0.05), more pronounced improvement in pathological damage in the cerebral cortex, decreased neuronal apoptosis(P<0.05), and reduced content of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-18, as well as lower relative protein expression levels of cGAS, STING, and NLRP3 in brain tissues(P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy may alleviate neuroinflammatory damage and promote neurological recovery in neonatal rats with HIBD by inhibiting abnormal activation of the cGAS/STING pathway and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activity.
