Study on effect and mechanisms of Carthami Flos water extract and hydroxysafflower yellow A on primary dysmenorrhea rats with cold coagulation and blood stasis
To explore the pharmacological effects and regulatory
mechanisms of
Carthami Flos
water extract and its main constituent
hydroxysafflower yellow A (HSYA)
on primary dysmenorrhea rats with cold coagulation and blood stasis.
Methods
2
Forty-two female specific pathogen-free grade rats aged 6-8 weeks were divided into blank
model
HSYA(0.01 g/kg)
ibuprofen(0.04 g/kg)
and low(0.06 g/kg)
medium(0.20 g/kg)
and high(0.40 g/kg)
Carthami Flos
water extract dose groups using the random number table method
with six rats per group. A rat model was established using ice water bath stimulation combined with estradiol benzoate and oxytocin. Continuous gavage was administered for 6 days from the seventh day of modeling. After the intervention
the writhing reaction test was conducted.The rats
uteri
and ovaries were weighed to calculate the organ index. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and radioimmunoassay were used to detect the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) contents in the uterus
thromboxane B
2
(TXB
2
) and 6-keto-prostaglondin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) in plasma
and estradiol (E
2
) in the serum. Hematoxylin and eosin staining were used to detect the pathological changes in uterine tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in uterine tissue
whereas immunofluorescence was used to measure follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSH-R) expression in ovarian tissue. Western blotting was used to detect gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) and FSH-R expression in uterine tissue.
Results
2
Compared with the blank group
the rats in the model group exhibited an increase in uterine and ovarian indices and increased PGE2 and PGF2α in the uterus. TXB
2
in the plasma and E
2
in the serum were also evaluated. Additionally
6-keto-PGF1α decreased
and COX-2
GnRH-R
and FSH-R expression in the uterus and FSH-R expression in the ovaries also increased(
P
<
0.05). The morphology of the uterine tissue was disordered. Compared with the model group
the low
Carthami Flos
water extract dose group showed a decrease in uterine index (
P
<
0.05). In the medium and high
Carthami Flos
water extract dose groups
the writhing response decreased
as did the uterine and ovarian indices and PGE2 and TXB
2
contents. The 6-keto-PGF1α content increased
whereas the GnRH-R protein expression in the uterus decreased (
P
<
0.05). The high
Carthami Flos
water extract dose group also showed a decrease in PGF2α and FSH-R protein expression in the uterus (
P
<
0.05). In the HSYA group
the writhing response decreased
the uterine and ovarian indices decreased
the PGE2
PGF2α
and TXB
2
contents decreased
and GnRH-R and FSH-R protein expression decreased in the uterus(
P
<
0.05). The serum E
2
levels of the groups that received
Carthami Flos
water extract at various doses and those of the HSYA group were reduced
and the uterine morphology was improved. COX-2 expression in the uterus and FSH-R protein expression in the ovaries were also reduced (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Carthami Flos
water extract and HSYA can improve the pathological state of primary dysmenorrhea rats with cold coagulation and blood stasis. Its mechanism may be related to regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis.
