Effect of acupuncture and moxibustion with traditional Chinese medicine in regulating endometrial tissue ERα/ERβ in rats with endometriosis
Objective,2,To research the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion with Chinese medicine in regulating the estrogen receptor in endometriosis.,Methods,2,Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, acupuncture and moxibustion group, Chinese medicine group, acupuncture and moxibustion with Chinese medicine group (AC group in brief), 10 rats in each group. Endometriosis rat models were established in advance. The acupuncture and moxibustion group received acupuncture at Xuehai (SP10) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) and moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV4); the Chinese medicine group was treated with 0.9% NaCl suspension of Jiawei Mojie tablet by oral gavage; the AC group was treated by the above two methods simultaneously. The sham operation group and the model group were fixed and given of the same dosage of 0.9% NaCl by oral gavage. After 30 days of treatment, the diameters of ectopic cysts in five groups were measured. Normal endometrial, eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues were taken for immunohistochemical detection and the expressions of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and estrogen receptor β (ERβ) in different tissues were compared.,Results,2,The diameter of ectopic cyst in acupuncture and moxibustion group, Chinese medicine group, and AC group was significantly smaller than that in model group (,P,<,0.05). The diameter of ectopic cyst in AC group was significantly smaller than that both in acupuncture and moxibustion group and Chinese medicine group (,P,<,0.05). The ERα expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of acupuncture and moxibustion group and AC group was significantly higher than that of model group (,P,<,0.01) and Chinese medicine group (,P,<,0.01). The ERα expression in eutopic endometrium of AC group was higher than that of acupuncture and moxibustion group (,P,<,0.05). The ERβ expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of acupuncture and moxibustion group, Chinese medicine group and AC group was lower than that of model group (,P,<,0.01). The ERβ expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of AC group was significantly lower than that of Chinese medicine group (,P,<,0.01). ERα/ERβ ratio was lower in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium of EMS rats. ERα/ERβ ratio in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium of AC group was the highest among all the groups.,Conclusion,2,The combination of acupuncture and moxibustion with Chinese medicine may achieve the treatment effect of rats’ endometriosis through up-regulating the expression of ERα protein and down-regulating the expression of ERβ protein in eutopic and ectopic endometrium to the normal level.
