Effects of electroacupuncture at pericardium meridian acupoints on NMDAR subunits NR1 and intracellular Ca2+ in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion
Objective,2,To observe the effects of electroacupuncture at pericardium meridian acupoints on the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NR1) and the concentration of intracellular Ca,2+, in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and to explore the mechanism of cerebral ischemic nerve repair.,Methods,2,Ninty SPF grade SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham operation group, model group, pericardium meridian group and lung meridian group, with 18 rats in each group. The left MCAO model was prepared by inserting thread into external carotid artery. Acupoints such as "Tianquan (PC 2)" , "Quze ( PC 3)" , "Neiguan (PC 6)" and "Daling ( PC 7)" in the pericardium meridian and "Tianfu (LU 3)" , "Zhize (LU 5)" , "Lieqian (LU 7)" and "Taiyuan (LU 9)" in the lung meridian were taken. Electroacupuncture treatment was started in the pericardium meridian and lung meridian groups on the second day after successful modeling, and treatment was conducted for 3 days, 30 min each time, while the other groups were only bound and fixed for 30 min.The volume of infarcted brain tissue, NR1 positive expression and intracellular Ca,2+, content in brain tissues were detected by TTC staining, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, respectively, with 30 samples in each group.,Results,2,(1) BWT score. ①Comparison between groups: Before treatment, compared with the normal group and the sham operation group, the scores of the model group, the lung meridian group and the pericardium meridian group decreased significantly (,P,<,0.05); compared with the normal group, the sham operation group and the model group, the score of pericardium meridian group increased significantly (,P,<,0.05), but there was no significant difference between the pericardium meridian group and the lung meridian group (,P,>,0.05). ②Comparison within groups: the scores of the lung meridian group and the pericardium meridian group increased significantly compared with those before treatment (,P,<,0.05). (2) Comparison of cerebral infarction volume. Compared with the normal group and the sham operation group, the volumes of the model group, the lung meridian group and the pericardium meridian group were larger, and the difference was statistically significant (,P,<,0.05), indicating that the model of MCAO was successful. There was no significant difference among the model group, the lung meridian group and the pericardium meridian group (,P,>, 0.05). (3) Expression of NR1 in brain tissue. Compared with the normal group, the positive expression of NR1 in the model group, the lung meridian group and the pericardium meridian group increased significantly (,P,<,0.05). Compared with the sham operation group, the positive expression of NR1 in the model group and the lung meridian group increased significantly (,P,<,0.05), but there was no significant difference in NR1 expression in the pericardium meridian group (,P,>,0.05). Compared with the model group, the positive expression of NR1 in the pericardium meridian group was significantly lower (,P,<,0.05). (4) Intracellular Ca,2+, content. Compared with the normal group and the sham operation group, Ca,2+, content in the model group, the lung meridian group and pericardium meridian group increased significantly (,P,<,0.05). Compared with the model group, the content of Ca,2+, in lung meridian group and pericardium meridian group decreased, and the difference was statistically significant (,P,<,0.05).,Conclusion,2,Electroacupuncture of acupoints in pericardium meridian can improve the degree of nerve injury in MCAO rats, which may be related to the reduction of NR1 overexpression, the decrease of intracellular Ca,2+, concentration, the alleviation of injury on neuron by excitatory toxicity, and the promotion of nerve injury repair.
