Effect of Bushen Huoxue Formula on expression of VEGF/PI3K/Akt pathway in decidua of mice with recurrent abortion
Objective,2,To observe the effect of Bushen Huoxue Formula on VEGFA, VEGFR2 and PI3K/Akt signal transduction pathway in decidua of recurrent abortion mice, and to explore the possible mechanism of Bushen Huoxue Formula in treating recurrent abortion.,Methods,2,BALB/c × CBA/J normal pregnant mice model and DBA/2 × CBA/J recurrent abortion mice model were established. The mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, progesterone group (3.33 mg/kg), and Bushen Huoxue Formula low-dose (10.47 g/kg), medium-dose (20.93 g/kg) and high-dose (41.87 g/kg) groups. Each group was given corresponding drugs by gavage for 2 weeks. The embryo loss rate of CBA/J mice after different concentrations of drug intervention was observed; the expressions of VEGFA and VEGFR2 proteins in decidua were detected by immunohistochemistry; the expressions of VEGFA, VEGFR2, PI3K, Akt, p-Akt proteins in decidua were detected by Western blot.,Results,2,①Compared with the model group, the embryo loss rates of the progesterone group and the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups of Bushen Huoxue Formula were significantly decreased (,P,<,0.05). ②The results of immunohistochemistry showed that: compared with the model group, the positive expression of VEGFA protein was increased in the progesterone group, and the medium-dose and high-dose groups of Bushen Huoxue Formula; the positive expression of VEGFR2 protein was increased in the progesterone group and the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups of Bushen Huoxue Formula (,P,<,0.05); compared with the low-dose group of Bushen Huoxue Formula, the positive expression of VEGFA protein in the medium-dose and high-dose groups of Bushen Huoxue Formula was increased (,P,<,0.05). ③Western blot results showed that: compared with the model group, the expressions of VEGFA, VEGFR2, PI3K, p-Akt proteins in the progesterone group, and the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups of Bushen Huoxue Formula were significantly increased (,P,<,0.05); compared with low-dose and medium-dose groups of Bushen Huoxue Formula, the protein expressions of VEGFA, VEGFR2, PI3K and p-Akt in the high-dose group of Bushen Huoxue Formula were significantly increased (,P,<,0.05).,Conclusion,2,Bushen Huoxue Formula can up-regulate the expression of VEGFA and VEGFR2 in decidua of recurrent abortion model mice, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
