基于“间接调控”探究黄芪甲苷及其类似物改善帕金森病的作用

Exploration of the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ and its analogues on improving Parkinson's disease based on "indirect regulation"

  • 摘要: 本研究基于“间接调控”策略, 探究黄芪甲苷(AG) 及其类似物环黄芪醇(CAG)、黄芪醇(HG) 调节肠道菌群改善帕金森病(PD) 的作用。通过1-甲基-4-苯基-1, 2, 3, 6-四氢吡啶(MPTP) 诱导PD小鼠模型, 结合行为学实验、免疫荧光染色、蛋白印迹及16S rRNA测序, 系统评价3种化合物的疗效及潜在机制(动物实验获得山西中医药大学动物医学伦理委员会的批准, 批准号: AWE202307367)。结果显示: AG、CAG和HG (30 mg·kg-1) 均能显著改善PD小鼠的步态异常、运动迟缓等行为学表型, 并恢复黑质区酪氨酸羟化酶(TH) 阳性神经元数量, 抑制离子钙结合适配器分子1 (Iba-1) 的表达。其中, CAG的作用效果为三者中最佳, 与阳性药左旋多巴(70 mg·kg-1) 相当。肠道菌群分析表明, 三者均能逆转MPTP诱导的菌群多样性降低, 回调PD疾病相关菌属AkkermansiaLactobacillusRuminococcus的丰度。AG特异性促进Allobaculum菌属富集, CAG和HG则显著增加Blautia菌属丰度, 提示其通过调节菌群代谢产物(如短链脂肪酸) 抑制神经炎症。研究表明, AG、CAG和HG可通过“肠-脑轴”间接调控肠道菌群结构, 抑制中枢神经炎症, 从而改善PD病理进程, 为PD治疗提供了基于天然产物的多靶点干预策略。

     

    Abstract: This study is based on the "indirect regulation" strategy to explore the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ (AG) and its analogs cycloastragenol (CAG) and astragenol (HG) in regulating the gut microbiota to improve Parkinson's disease (PD). Through the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model, combined with behavioral experiments, immunofluorescence staining, Western blot, and 16S rRNA sequencing, the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of the three compounds were systematically evaluated (the animal experiment was approved by the Animal Medical Ethics Committee of Shanxi University of Chinese Medicine, the approval number is AWE202307367). The results showed that AG, CAG, and HG (30 mg·kg-1) could significantly improve the behavioral phenotypes such as gait abnormalities and bradykinesia in PD mice, and restore the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons in the substantia nigra region, and inhibit the expression of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1), a marker of microglial cell activation. Among them, CAG had the best effect among the three, which was comparable to that of the positive drug levodopa (70 mg·kg-1). The analysis of the gut microbiota indicated that all three compounds could reverse the decrease in microbiota diversity induced by MPTP and adjust the abundances of PD disease-related genera Akkermansia, Lactobacillus, and Ruminococcus. AG specifically promoted the enrichment of the genus Allobaculum, while CAG and HG significantly increased the abundance of the genus Blautia, suggesting that they inhibited neuroinflammation by regulating microbiota metabolites (such as short-chain fatty acids). The study demonstrates that AG, CAG, and HG can indirectly regulate the structure of the gut microbiota through the "gut-brain axis" and inhibit central neuroinflammation, thus improving the pathological process of PD. This provides a multi-target intervention strategy based on natural products for the treatment of PD.
