Research shows that the berberine has the functions of reducing blood sugar and resisting inflammation[7,8]Reducing blood fat[9]Antimicrobial agent[10]Anti-tumor and intestinal bacteria regulating effects[11,12]And the like.
Through the retrieval of patent documents at home and abroad and the published journal articles, the inventor does not find that the berberine is used for treating side effects such as glycolipid metabolism abnormality caused by glucocorticoid, and does not find reports or documents related to the invention. Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a new application of a natural product medicament berberine (the chemical name of the berberine is 5, 6-dihydro-9, 10-dimethoxybenzo [ g ] -1, 3-benzodioxolane [5, 6-alpha ] quinolizine), namely the application of the berberine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in medicaments for preventing and/or treating metabolic disorders caused by glucocorticoid. In particular to a new application of berberine or berberine hydrochloride in the drugs for preventing and/or treating diseases caused by glucocorticoid, such as blood fat, blood sugar metabolism disorder, visceral fat accumulation and the like, or provides a new treatment indication of berberine or berberine hydrochloride. Based on experiments such as molecular biology, cell biology and animal models, the inventor finds that berberine has the effect of reducing visceral fat accumulation, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia caused by glucocorticoid dexamethasone (the chemical name of dexamethasone is (11 beta, 16 alpha) -9-fluoro-11, 17, 21-trihydroxy-16-methyl pregnene-1, 4-diene-3, 20-dione), and has the effect of treating glucocorticoid-induced metabolic disorder.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salt is selected from the salt formed by berberine and organic acid or inorganic acid. The inorganic acid is selected from hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid, and the like, and the organic acid is selected from oxalic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid, phthalic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid, and the like.
The glucocorticoid is dexamethasone or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is selected from dexamethasone acetate or dexamethasone sodium phosphate and the like.
The metabolic disorder mainly refers to blood sugar, blood fat metabolic disorder and visceral fat accumulation. The disorder of lipid metabolism is high low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high total cholesterol, high low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high triglyceride or low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol. The disorder of blood glucose metabolism is hyperglycemia.

The inventor proves that the berberine and the berberine hydrochloride have the effects of treating glucose and lipid metabolism disorder and visceral fat accumulation induced by glucocorticoid dexamethasone through extensive and intensive research and experiments. In a mouse model with dexamethasone long-term action, the oral administration of berberine is found to reduce visceral fat accumulation and effectively regulate blood fat and blood sugar levels; in vitro cell experiments, berberine dose-dependently inhibits the differentiation of preadipocytes 3T3-L1, and reduces the lipid content in adipocytes. Compared with the vacancy of drugs for treating the side effect of glucocorticoid drugs in clinical application and the higher biological safety of berberine, research results show that berberine is a drug with great research and application values in the treatment of the side effect of glucocorticoid drugs.
The invention establishes a glucocorticoid mouse model by subcutaneously implanting an osmotic pump with dexamethasone solution as a content. Recording the weight gain, the change of limb muscles, the body fat content and the visceral fat content of the animals; determining blood glucose (Glu), Triglyceride (TG), Cholesterol (CHO), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) levels in plasma of the model animal; and measuring the expression levels of PPAR gamma and AMPK genes in the adipose tissues and the adipose cells of the animals.
The experimental result shows that berberine (100 mg/kg. day) can remarkably reduce visceral fat accumulation of mice caused by glucocorticoid dexamethasone, and reduce levels of glucose (Glu), Triglyceride (TG), Cholesterol (CHO), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) in plasma; increasing plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) levels; increase the muscle weight of the limbs. The berberine can obviously increase the AMPK expression level in the adipose tissue of a glucocorticoid mouse; reduce PPAR γ expression level.
In vitro cell experiments show that berberine dose-dependently inhibits the differentiation of preadipocytes 3T3-L1 and reduces the lipid content in adipocytes.
The present invention can draw the following conclusions: the berberine or berberine hydrochloride oral administration can obviously reduce visceral fat accumulation caused by glucocorticoid dexamethasone, improve blood fat and blood sugar level, and the action mechanism is related to inhibiting differentiation of preadipocytes and regulating expression of energy metabolism related genes in vivo.

Extracting cell protein and RNA which have the same treatment mode and are not stained by oil red.
Secondly, the influence of berberine on the differentiation of preadipocytes
FIG. 1 shows that 3T3-L1 cells used after differentiation were 2.5. mu. mol. L-1,5μmol·L-1,10μmol·L-1After the berberine is cultured in a complete culture medium for 24 hours, the result of oil red staining shows that the generation of intracellular lipid drops of differentiated preadipocytes is increased obviously, and the coloring area of the oil red is reduced along with the increase of the administration concentration. Figure 2 shows that the quantification of oil red decreases after administration. The berberine is shown to inhibit the differentiation of mouse preadipocytes to mature adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner and reduce the generation of adipose tissues. The oil red quantification is shown in table 1.

Thirdly, in vivo experimental design:
clean grade C57 mice 18 (male, 6 weeks old, 20-22g in weight) were purchased from experimental animals technology ltd, viton, beijing. Animals are raised in the animal center of the institute of pharmaceutical research of Chinese academy of medical science under constant temperature of 23 + -2 deg.C and moderate temperature of 50-70%, and sterilized padding, free diet and water are replaced twice per week. The administration and treatment of mice were as follows:
after the animals were acclimated in the animal room for one week, the C57 mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and a berberine hydrochloride group, 6 mice per group, and fed with normal maintenance feed. Mice were acclimatized for one week and then subcutaneously implanted with osmotic pressure pump (2004 type, 0.25 μ L/h, 4 weeks old, available from Alzet, USA) to control group containing normal saline and model group and berberine hydrochloride group containing dexamethasone disodium phosphate solution (1.4ug day)-1) Antibiotics were injected three consecutive days after surgery, and the animal model is shown in fig. 3. The berberine hydrochloride group mice were gavaged at 100mg/kg/day for 4 weeks. The body weight and food intake of the mice were measured weekly during the period. And (3) taking out the osmotic pump after the administration is finished, carrying out body fat detection by small animal nuclear magnetic imaging after the mouse state is recovered every other day, then taking blood from eyeballs, taking out epididymis adipose tissues of the mouse after the neck is removed and the mouse is killed, and carrying out subsequent molecular biology experiments.
Fourthly, the change of the berberine hydrochloride dry prognosis animal growth condition
1. Weight change of each group of mice during berberine hydrochloride intervention period
The body weight of the mice was recorded weekly during the experiment, and the body weight change is shown in fig. 6, n-6,
Figure BDA0002484927470000081
comparison of representation to model group P<0.05. As can be clearly seen from the figure, the body weight of the model group after receiving the effect of dexamethasone is obviously reduced compared with that of the control group of mice; the weight of the berberine hydrochloride group mice has no significant difference compared with the model group.
2. Comparison of feed consumption of groups of mice during berberine hydrochloride intervention
The feed consumption of each group of mice was recorded weekly during the experiment and the daily average consumption of each mouse was calculated for each group. The weight change is shown in fig. 4, n is 6,
Figure BDA0002484927470000082
and comparing with the model group. As is clear from FIG. 5, there is no significant difference in the amount of feed consumed by the mice in each group C57, so that the weight change of the mice in the model group and the berberine hydrochloride gavage group relative to the control group is independent of the food intake.
3. Comparison of systemic, subcutaneous and visceral fat percentage of mice after berberine hydrochloride intervention
Fig. 6 is a comparison of body fat percentage data and MRI images of mice in each group after berberine hydrochloride drying, wherein white area is in vivo adipose tissue, n is 6,

Figure BDA0002484927470000092
comparison of representation to model set p<0.05. The ratio of the soleus muscle weight to the tibia length is used as an index of muscle atrophy, and comparison shows that the ratio of the soleus muscle weight to the tibia length is remarkably reduced compared with that of a control group, namely, after a C57 mouse receives dexamethasone for a long time, the muscle atrophy appears, the physiological change generated by long-term stimulation of glucocorticoid is met, and berberine hydrochloride can relieve the side effect of the glucocorticoid on muscle decomposition. Specific values are shown in Table 3.

representation in comparison with model control group P<0.05, P in comparison with the model control group<0.01, P is compared with model control group<0.001. As can be seen from FIG. 8, the levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and blood glucose in the blood of the mice in the model group showed an increasing trend, while the level of high-density lipoprotein showed a decreasing trend, and after intragastric administration of berberine hydrochloride, the levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and blood glucose were decreased, and the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was increased. The result shows that the berberine hydrochloride can regulate the abnormal blood sugar and blood fat metabolism caused by dexamethasone. Specific values are shown in Table 4.

Fifth, mechanism discussion
We examined mRNA and protein level expression of important regulatory factors involved in energy metabolism in induced differentiated preadipocytes and mouse adipose tissues, mainly the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR γ), adenosine-5' -monophosphate (AMP) -dependent kinase (AMPK).
PPAR γ is one of the subtypes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), belongs to ligand-activated receptors in nuclear hormone receptor family, is mainly present in adipose tissue, can regulate the gene expression of adipocyte differentiation, lipogenesis and glucose metabolism, and has close relationship with type 2 diabetes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, atherosclerosis, obesity and other metabolic diseases[13-15]. AMPK is a key molecule in the process of regulating energy metabolism, is closely related to metabolic diseases, participates in various biological processes such as fatty acid oxidation and insulin resistance, and the expression of the AMPK is mainly influenced by the change of the AMP/ATP ratio in vivo, and when the AMP level is increased or the ATP content is reduced, the AMPK can stimulate the expression of AMPK, thereby increasing the synthesis of ATP and promoting the catabolism[16]. AMPK activation can reduce the production of fatty acid and cholesterol and promote the oxidation of fatty acid, and simultaneously plays a role in regulating downstream pathways of lipid metabolism, thus being a research hotspot of obesity-related metabolic diseases.

ratio of target gene to reference gene, P in comparison with model control group<0.01, P is compared with model control group<0.001; as can be seen from the figure, the blank control group and the solvent control group have no significant difference in the target gene expression level, and compared with the model group, each berberine dose group has reduced PPAR γ expression in fat cells and increased mRNA expression level of AMPK, and has significant difference. Therefore, in vitro experiments, berberine can improve blood lipid and blood glucose levels by regulating mRNA level of energy metabolism related gene. The relevant data are shown in Table 5.

ratio of target gene to reference gene, P in comparison with model control group<0.01, P is compared with model control group<0.001; as can be seen from the figure, compared with the model group, the berberine hydrochloride intragastric administration group has the advantages that the PPAR gamma expression of the adipose tissue is reduced, the mRNA expression level of AMPK is increased, and the significant difference is achieved. Therefore, in an in vivo test, berberine hydrochloride can improve the blood fat and blood sugar levels by regulating the mRNA level of the energy metabolism related gene. The data are shown in Table 6.
