Exploration of gastrocnemius injury and its mechanism in rats with syndrome of spleen deficiency
To investigate skeletal muscle injury and its mechanism in a rat model of spleen deficiency syndrome.
Methods
2
Male Wistar rats(SPF/VAF) were randomly divided into control group and model group according to body weight. The "improper diet combined with exhaustive swimming" method was used to duplicate the rat model with spleen deficiency syndrome. The control group was fed normally. We regularly recorded the appearance
body weight
dietary intake
and excrement water content of the two groups of rats. At the end of Week 2
3
and 4
the swimming exhaustion time
grip strength
urine D-xylose excretion rate
spleen index
thymus index
and gastrocnemius wet weight were measured
and the gastrocnemius was subjected to pathological examination by HE staining. Besides
at the end of Week 2
3
and 4
we used enzyme-linked immunoassay to determine the levels of motilin
gastrin
interleukin-1β (IL-1β)
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum
and the levels of citrate synthase
Ca
2+
-ATPase
IL-1β
IL-6
and TNF-α in the gastrocnemius. At the end of Week 4
immunohistochemistry method was used to measure the positive expression of IL-1β
IL-6
and TNF-α
and immunofluorescence was used to detect the cells that were positive for cysteine aspartate proteolytic enzyme 3 (cleaved-caspase 3) in the gastrocnemius.
Results
2
Compared to the control group
the body weight
dietary intake
swimming exhaustion time
grip strength
gastrocnemius wet weight
and urine D-xylose excretion rate in the model group were significantly decreased from Week 2 to 4 (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
while excrement water content increased (
P
<
0.01). Serum gastrin in the model group was also significantly decreased at Week 3 and 4 (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). Besides
the gastrocnemius wet weight to body weight ratio and serum IL-6 of the rats in the model group were increased at Week 2 (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). At the end of Week 4
the gastrocnemius wet weight to body weight ratio
spleen index
thymus index
citrate synthase and Ca
2+
-ATPase in the gastrocnemius
the levels of gastrin
IL-1β
and TNF-α in the serum of the model group decreased significantly (
P
<
0.01); and the levels of cleaved-caspase 3
IL-1β
IL-6
and TNF-α in the gastrocnemius increased significantly (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
The spleen deficiency syndrome rat model induced by "improper diet combined with exhaustive swimming" method in accordance with the appearance of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome of spleen deficiency and related laboratory indexes. The muscle strength and atrophy of the gastrocnemius was decreased with the modeling time. The systemic immune function of the model rats decreased
while the protein expression of systemic and gastrocnemius inflammatory factors increased. We presume that the skeletal muscle damage involves mitochondrial injury and apoptosis in the spleen deficiency syndrome rat model but is related to inflammatory mechanism.
