- AD patients present with central nervous system degenerative lesions in the frontotemporal and hippocampus, and A ⁇ amyloid plaques are characteristic lesions of Alzheimer's disease.
- the agglutination and accumulation of A ⁇ are the initial factors in the pathogenesis and development of AD, while other pathological changes such as neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, dysfunction and loss of neurons, etc. are considered to be due to the dissociation and aggregation of A ⁇ . Cleared and caused by the imbalance caused.
- a characteristic lesion of Alzheimer's disease is the deposition of A ⁇ amyloid in the brain.
- Methanol Congo red staining is used to show amyloid,
- the deposition of amyloid A ⁇ protein in the brain can be well recognized.
- the inventors found that the number and area of A ⁇ amyloid plaques in the cerebral cortex of mice fed the serum-enriched brain granules for 2 months were significantly reduced, and there was a dose-related effect, and the lower concentration group of the high-concentration group was more effective.
- Figure 3 to Figure 7 ).
- Figure 3 to Figure 5 show Congo red staining of amyloid plaques in the cerebral cortex of the control and experimental groups.
- the number of A ⁇ amyloid plaques in the brain of the saline group and the Anrisheng group was large, and the number of amyloid plaques in the high concentration and low concentration groups of the serum-supplemented brain particles was small.
- Fig. 4 the brain frontal cortex of male mice (Fig. 4) and female mice (Fig. 5)
- a certain number of extracellular red chrysanthemum-like plaques stained with Congo red were detected in the saline group and the Ariase group.
- amyloid plaque of AD It is a characteristic amyloid plaque of AD, while the number of amyloid plaques in the high concentration and low concentration groups of the serum-lowering brain particles is small, and the plaque area is small. It can be seen that the low-concentration group and the high-concentration group have significant effects on the amyloid plaque deposition in the frontal cortex, while the control drug An Lishen has no significant effect on amyloid plaque clearance.
- the hippocampus of the brain is a key part of storing short-term memory, and it is also a brain region where humans deal with long-term learning and memory spatial localization.
- Figure 6 shows Congo red staining in the hippocampus of each group of mice.
- the saline group and the Anritsu group can detect the deposition of amyloid plaques, while the high concentration and low concentration groups of the serum-sparing brain particles detect the surrounding area of the hippocampus. Less than the deposition of amyloid plaques.
- the inventors quantified the number of congo red-stained amyloid plaques throughout the brain.

3.2Y迷宫实验检测小鼠记忆认知行为
Y迷宫仪器包括3个等长的臂,各夹角120°,呈Y字形。小鼠在封闭的空间内(Y迷宫)会本能的寻找出路,认知和空间记忆能力正常的小鼠会在寻找过程中探寻每一条路径,而非总是重复已经探寻过的路径。具体为将小鼠自Y迷宫的带有小门的臂放入迷宫,将三个臂任意编号为A臂、B臂和C臂,小鼠在其内自由活动8分钟,记录小鼠的路线,如小鼠的路径能够依次循环(三个路径中无重复)则记为正确,如出现错误路径,则记为错误,并以该处为起点重新计路径。最终计算公式中:正确率(%)=n/(总进臂次数-2)×100%,n是指正确的路径数。例如:小鼠活动路线为ABCABCBACBACACBABCA,其中下划线即为错误的路径,n=16,总进臂次数为19,正确率(%)=16/(19-2)×100%=94.11%。
3.3小鼠心脏灌流固定及包埋切片
小鼠通过戊巴比妥钠深度麻醉,麻醉后剪开小鼠的胸腔,将灌流针插入小鼠左心室内,同时剪开右心耳,灌入0.01M PBS(pH7.4)50-100ml,直到灌流液清亮为止。同时再灌入4%的多聚甲醛50-100ml。灌流完成后,取脑,在4%多聚甲醛溶液中浸泡固定过夜。自动包埋机包埋后进行石蜡切片。片厚1.5μm。
3.4刚果红染色检测大脑内淀粉样物质
石蜡片子取出后,在60-65℃烤片机上烤片30min。片子从烤片机上取下后浸泡于二甲苯中30min。按照无水乙醇、无水乙醇、95%乙醇、95%乙醇、90%乙醇、80%乙醇、水、蒸馏水的顺序依次脱水。苏木精染色1min,氨水蓝化。刚果红染色1h后,碱性分化液分化,按照80%乙醇、90%乙醇、95%乙醇、95%乙醇、无水乙醇、无水乙醇的顺序脱水。二甲苯浸泡1min,风干后,树胶封片。脑内Aβ老年斑为淀粉样物质,刚果红染色后呈红色。每张切片对皮质和海马的红色Aβ淀粉样斑块数量和面积进行测量和计算,取其平均值进行分析。
3.5免疫组织化学染色
1石蜡切片浸泡于二甲苯中30min。然后按照无水乙醇、无水乙醇、95%乙醇、95%乙醇、90%乙醇、80%乙醇、水、蒸馏水的顺序依次脱水。pH6.0柠檬酸高压120℃修复2-2.5min,3%医用消毒H2O2去除内源活性物质。加入APPβα抗体4h,鼠兔通用型即用二抗室温孵育50min。DAB染色3min。苏木精复染,氨水蓝化,脱水。二甲苯浸泡1min,风干后,树胶封片。
3.6β-淀粉样斑块计数
每张免疫组织化学染色切片对皮质和海马随机观察3个视野进行测量,计数每个视野下强阳性与弱阳性β-淀粉样斑块数量,取其平均值进行分析。
3.7Western Bloting方法检测小鼠大脑组织内αAPPs、ADAM10和PS1的蛋白水平
剖离小鼠大脑组织,裂解超声后用BCA蛋白定量试剂盒对其进行蛋白定量,之后将样品等蛋白量进行SDS-PAGE,再电转移至PVDF膜上。以5%脱脂奶粉封闭1h,依次滴加各种一抗αAPPs、ADAM10或PS1,室温2h,PBS洗3次。山羊抗兔IgG2HRP,室温反应1h,PBS洗涤3次。后用ECL光化学试剂盒(碧云天)检测信号,X光片曝光显影。
抗体:ADAM10、PS1、β-肌动蛋白抗体购自博奥森公司。APPβα段抗体自主研发,选择APPβ剪切与α剪切之间的16氨基酸短肽DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQK(此肽段为纤维状不溶性肽,是决定Aβ42脑不溶性的关键区域)作为抗原,通过基因重组、测序,蛋白表达与纯化,动物免疫和ProteinA/G纯化获得高效价的APPβα抗体。
3.8统计

4实验结果
4.1一般观察
转基因小鼠4月龄时,已经出现精神损伤症状,与背景鼠相比进食量减少、自主活动减少,行动迟缓,精神萎靡,皮毛欠光泽等。给药后,养血清脑颗粒组转基因小鼠均有不同程度的改善,食量增加,精神好转。
4.2Y迷宫实验证明养血清脑颗粒具有显著改善早中期阿尔茨海默症动物模型小鼠记忆、认知能力的作用
Y迷宫实验是用于检测小鼠空间认知能力和短期记忆能力的一种操作简单、应用广泛的行为学手段。如表2和图2所示,Y迷宫实验证明养血清脑颗粒具有显著改善早中期阿尔茨海默症动物模型小鼠记忆、认知能力的作用。如给药中期一个月的检测结果,生理盐水正确率最低为79.59%,养血低浓度组和高浓度组的小鼠Y迷宫正确率平均值分别为86.10%和87.12%,安理申阳性对照组为80.67%。养血低浓度组和高浓度组都与对照组有显著差别。给药末期两个月的行为学检测结果,生理盐水正确率最低为77.52%,养血低浓度组和高浓度组的小鼠Y迷宫正确率平均值分别为83.86%和85.64%,安理申阳性对照组为82.19%。养血高浓度组和养血低浓度组改善认知能力的作用效果显著高于对照组。
所以,发明人的结果证明,给药一个月和给药两个月,养血低浓度组和高浓度组的小鼠Y迷宫正确率与对照相比提高了近10%,具有显著性;安理申阳性对照组虽然给药两个月时Y迷宫正确率有所提高,但未达到统计学差别。所以,结果证明养血清脑颗粒具有显著改善早中期阿尔茨海默症动物模型小鼠记忆、认知能力的显著作用。

4.3特异识别淀粉样斑块的刚果红染色证明养血清脑颗粒具有显著清除早中期小鼠脑内老年斑的作用
AD患者表现为额颞叶和海马区等部位的中枢神经系统退行性的病变,Aβ淀粉样斑块是阿尔茨海默症特征性的病变。Aβ的凝集和聚积是AD病理发生、发展的起始因素,而其他的病理改变如脑内神经纤维缠结、神经元的功能紊乱和丢失等,均被认为是由于Aβ的解离与凝聚、清除与产生的失衡所引发的。
阿尔茨海默症的特征性病变是Aβ淀粉样蛋白在脑内的沉积。甲醇刚果红染色用于显示淀粉样物质,
可以很好识别脑内淀粉样Aβ蛋白的沉积。发明人发现通过2个月口服养血清脑颗粒小鼠的大脑皮层中Aβ淀粉样斑块个数和面积显著减少,并且存在剂量相关性,养血高浓度组较低浓度组治疗效果更加明显(图3至图7)。
如图3至图5显示对照组和实验组大脑皮质区淀粉样斑块的刚果红染色情况。生理盐水组和安理申组脑内Aβ淀粉样斑块数目多,养血清脑颗粒高浓度和低浓度组淀粉样斑块数目少。在雄性小鼠(图4)和雌性小鼠(图5)的大脑额叶皮质区,生理盐水组和安理申组可以检测到一定数目的嗜刚果红染色的细胞外红色的菊花样斑块,为AD特征性淀粉斑块,而养血清脑颗粒高浓度和低浓度组淀粉样斑块数目少,斑块面积小。可见养血低浓度组和高浓度组具有显著清除额叶皮质区淀粉样斑块沉积的作用,而对照药物安理申对淀粉样斑块清除作用不显著。
大脑海马区是存储短期记忆关键部位,也是人类处理长期学习与记忆空间定位的大脑区域。图6是各组小鼠大脑海马区的刚果红染色,生理盐水组和安理申组可检测到淀粉样斑块的沉积,而养血清脑颗粒高浓度和低浓度组清脑颗粒海马区周围检测不到淀粉样斑块的沉积。
发明人对全大脑的嗜刚果红染色淀粉样斑块的数目进行了量化。如表3和图7所示,从老年斑的个数来看,6月龄APPswePSEN1dE9转基因鼠生理盐水对照组脑内出现了显著的老年斑,与之比较,阳性对照安理申组老年斑个数下降了37.5%,但是无显著差别。非常显著的是,与生理盐水对照组比较,养血清脑颗粒低浓度组脑内老年斑减少了62.2%(p<0.05),养血清脑颗粒高浓度组脑内老年斑减少了70.1%(p<0.01)。提示养血清脑颗粒具有显著清除早中期小鼠大脑皮质区老年斑的个数的作用。
发明人对全大脑的嗜刚果红染色淀粉样斑块的面积进行了量化。如表3和图8所示,从老年斑的面积来看,安理申作为一种乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制剂发挥疗效,因而降低大脑或海马区β-淀粉样斑块沉积的作用不明显。阳性对照安理申组老年斑面积比对照组下降了17.8%,但是无显著差别。而与对照组比较,养血低浓度组脑内老年斑面积减少了61.4%(p<0.01),养血高浓度组脑内老年斑面积减少了72.4%(p<0.01)。
以上结果证明,养血清脑颗粒具有显著清除早中期小鼠脑内淀粉样老年斑的作用,清除率达60-70%以上,高剂量养血清脑颗粒的作用更为显著。市售的治疗阿尔茨海默症的阳性药物安理申作为一种乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制剂发挥疗效,因而降低大脑或海马区β-淀粉样斑块沉积的作用不明显。养血清脑颗粒对淀粉样老年斑清除的治疗效果明显强于阳性药物安理申。

4.4利用识别脑内不溶Aβ蛋白的APPβα特异抗体的免疫组化染色,证明养血清脑颗粒具有显著清除早中期AD小鼠脑内Aβ老年斑的作用
人淀粉样蛋白前体APP是一种阿尔茨海默症发病的关键蛋白质,其发生β剪切形成的淀粉样蛋白Aβ在脑内的沉积是阿尔茨海默症的主要病理特征之一。APP正常情况下发生α分泌酶剪切途径,产生胞外可溶性sAPPα蛋白。而在阿尔茨海默症的发生过程中APP在两种蛋白酶即β-分泌酶和γ-分泌酶的先后作用下被剪切而产生42个氨基酸的Aβ肽,是AD的主要毒性物,至脑组织中神经元之间及突触部位大量聚集,形成淀粉样老年斑,可使大脑功能受损,导致记忆和认知障碍。目前的抗体多为Aβ段(β剪切与γ剪切的42肽)的抗体,无法识别特异性β剪切(检测C段蛋白中同时包含β剪切蛋白和α剪切蛋白),特别是对脑内可溶肽(生理)和不溶肽(病理)区分困难。
发明人选择了Aβ42肽中的N段β剪切与α剪切之间的16肽作为抗原,在检测阿尔茨海默症病理剪切具有独特的优势。如图9所示,首先Aβ42肽的脑不溶解肽段发生由此16肽组成,所以此16肽抗体显
著提高识别脑内不溶蛋白(Aβ)的特异性检测效率,将脑内不溶肽的检测研究手段提高到新阶段。抗体的制备和纯化见方法部分,发明人应用此抗体检测了养血清脑颗粒清除阿尔茨海默症转基因鼠脑内Aβ肽沉积作用。
利用识别不溶性蛋白的APPβα特异抗体的免疫组化染色证明养血清脑颗粒具有清除小鼠脑内Aβ蛋白的显著作用。如图10至图12所示,生理盐水对照组和安理申组大脑内有Aβ不溶性蛋白的沉积,可被识别不溶性蛋白的APP特异抗体所识别。养血低浓度组和养血高浓度组都少见Aβ不溶性蛋白的沉积。雄性AD模型鼠(图11)和雌性AD模型鼠(图12)在不同药物作用2个月后,海马区的Aβ蛋白的免疫染色出现显著差别。对照组与安理申组海马区能够检测到深染的不溶性Aβ老年斑,而养血低浓度组和养血高浓度组难以检测到Aβ沉积。
发明人对各实验组大脑皮层β-淀粉样斑块总的数量统计分析,如表4和图13所示,从小鼠大脑强阳性Aβ老年斑数目来看,各实验组与生理盐水对照组比较都有显著性差别,强阳性对照安理申组老年斑个数比对照组下降了67.7%,相对于生理盐水对照组,养血低浓度组脑内老年斑减少了81.4%,养血高浓度组脑内老年斑减少了87.5%。相对于安理申组,养血清脑颗粒的治疗效果更明显,提示了高剂量养血清脑颗粒具有显著清除早中期小鼠脑内Aβ蛋白的作用,并优于安理申组。

4.5养血清脑颗粒具有显著促进早中期阿尔茨海默症动物模型脑内APP的生理性α剪切,并促进了可溶性神经营养性sAPPα蛋白的生成
人淀粉样蛋白前体APP是一种阿尔茨海默症发病的关键蛋白质,APP的剪切机制分为两种。正常机体APP发生生理性非淀粉样的α分泌酶ADAM10剪切,并产生具有神经营养作用的sAPPα蛋白。而在阿尔茨海默病发生中,由β-和γ分泌酶介导,APP发生淀粉样的病理性剪切。APP发生β和γ剪切形成的淀粉样蛋白Aβ在脑内的沉积是阿尔茨海默症的主要病理特征之一和最重要的分子机制。
APP的生理性α剪切的裂解产物sAPPα,不仅具有重要的神经营养作用,而且可阻碍Aβ的生成,对AD的治疗具有重要意义。首先,通过抗体识别可溶性生理sAPPα的Western blot检测证明了养血清脑颗粒具有显著促进了生理性α剪切,并促进可溶性和神经营养性sAPPα蛋白的作用。APP发生α剪切产生的胞外可溶片段sAPPα,大小为66kD,如图14所示,AD模型鼠脑内在生理盐水条件下很少出现生理性剪切,sAPPα水平很低,与生理盐水组相比,安理申组的sAPPα有所增加。养血低浓度、特别是养血高浓度组的sAPPα增加显著。且养血高剂量组显著高于阳性安理申对照组。APP正常情况下发生α分泌酶剪切途径产生胞外可溶性APP肽具有神经营养作用,同时生理性α剪切产生的sAPPα与病理性β剪切具有显著的拮抗作用。
α分泌酶ADAM10是执行APP生理剪切的关键酶。发明人检测了各药物组大脑内ADAM10的表达水平。6月龄AD转基因模型鼠在生理盐水条件下大脑内ADAM10表达水平很低,说明很少出现生理性剪切。与对照组相比,安理申组ADAM10的表达变化不显著。养血低浓度组、特别是养血高浓度组的ADAM10表达水平显著增高(图14)。
所以,发明人发现了养血清脑颗粒具有促进APP发生生理性α剪切的作用,养血清脑颗粒显著提高鼠脑内α分泌剪切酶ADAM10的表达水平和脑内可溶性神经营养性sAPPα蛋白的生成,通过显著提高了脑内APP的生理性α剪切,拮抗了病理性剪切途径,其作用效果较阳性药物安理申更为显著。
养血清脑颗粒清除脑内老年斑的作用是通过抑制致病性γ分泌酶早老素PS1来实现的。转基因鼠是PS1第9外显子缺失突变的PSldE9基因,早老素PS1基因突变是Aβ形成和AD治病的关键环节。如图
14所示,6月龄AD转基因模型鼠在生理盐水条件下大脑内早老素PSldE9表达水平很高,而与对照组相比,安理申组PSldE9表达变化不显著。而养血低浓度、养血高浓度的早老素PSldE9表达水平显著下降,难以被检测到。说明养血清脑颗粒通过抑制脑内致病性γ分泌酶早老素PS1的表达水平抑制APP的病理性剪切,从而减少脑内Aβ老年斑的沉积。
所以,发明人证明养血清脑颗粒具有显著清除早中期阿尔茨海默症动物模型脑内老年斑的作用。这种分子机制主要通过双方面来实现,如图15所示。一方面,养血清脑颗粒通过抑制致病性γ分泌酶早老素PS1-dE9,从而抑制APP的病理剪切Aβ过程,使脑内老年斑减少。另一方面,养血清脑颗粒通过促进生理性分泌酶α分泌剪切酶ADAM10的水平,促进了神经营养性sAPPα的生成,从而促进了APP的生理性剪切,拮抗了脑内Aβ的生成,使脑内老年斑进一步减少。
5小结
由上述结果,发明人证明了养血清脑颗粒具有显著地治疗轻中度阿尔茨海默症的作用。体现为两个方面:
首先,行为学上Y迷宫实验结果表明,口服高浓度养血清脑颗粒(48g生药/kg)和低浓度养血清脑颗粒(16g生药/kg)一个月和二个月后,小鼠记忆、认知能力均较生理盐水对照组有明显提高,且作用效果优于阳性药物安理申。即,养血清脑颗粒具有显著地改善早中期AD模型小鼠的记忆、认知能力的作用。
更重要的是针对阿尔茨海默症的特征性病变—Aβ蛋白沉积形成β-淀粉样斑块,养血清脑颗粒发挥了极其显著的治疗作用。将给药2个月的早中期阿尔茨海默症模型小鼠脑组织制成切片,应用刚果红染色和免疫组织化学染色实验均证明了口服养血清脑颗粒的小鼠大脑海马区和皮质区β-淀粉样斑块(老年斑)从个数、覆盖面积和着色程度上都显著降低(清除率达到60-90%),效果远远高于安理申组。同时,提取小鼠脑组织的蛋白进行Western blot分析,证明养血清脑颗粒能够促进β-淀粉样蛋白前体APP的生理性α剪切,并抑制APP病理性剪切,从而降低脑内Aβ的生成,从而发挥清除脑内Aβ-淀粉样斑块的显著作用。
综上,本研究充分说明了养血清脑颗粒对轻中度阿尔茨海默症具有很好的治疗效果。

本实验采用Y迷宫、新物体辨别、Morris水迷宫及避暗等行为学实验方法,考察了养血清脑颗粒对SAMP8快速老化小鼠及喹啉酸损毁Meyert基底核(NBM核)致痴呆大鼠学习记忆障碍的改善作用;并从大脑皮层及海马神经细胞及突触的形态学、胆碱能神经系统功能、神经营养因子、自由基氧化损伤等方面探讨了其改善学习记忆障碍的可能机制。
研究发现,养血清脑颗粒在小鼠935-3740mg/kg剂量、大鼠647-2588mg/kg(1-4倍人治疗头痛等症的临床等效量)范围内能够剂量依赖性地增加痴呆模型小鼠及大鼠自发交替反应率、新物体辨别实验中优先指数及辨别系数,缩短水迷宫实验中到达安全台的时间及路程,延长水迷宫空间探索实验中在原平台所在象限的游泳时间和路程百分比,延长避暗实验中逃避潜伏期,减少电击次数。以上行为学结果表明,养血清脑颗粒能够显著改善痴呆模型动物工作记忆障碍、空间学习记忆障碍以及视觉辨别记忆能力等非空间学习记忆障碍,其高剂量组的作用与临床等效量的盐酸多奈哌齐相近;HE染色结果表明,养血清脑颗粒能改善模型小鼠及大鼠神经元的病理改变;透射电镜观察发现,养血清脑颗粒能够改善大脑海马神经元超微结构的异常及突触结构的异常;Western blot实验结果显示,养血清脑颗粒能够显著提高痴呆模型小鼠及大鼠大脑皮层及海马组织中SYP及PSD-95的表达,对大脑皮层及海马突触新生标志物GAP-43的表达未见显著影响;免疫组化实验结果表明,养血清脑颗粒能够剂量依赖性地提高SAMP8小鼠大脑皮层及海马组织中BDNF、NGF及其受体TrkA的表达;生化检测结果表明,养血清脑颗粒能够剂量依赖性地提高总抗氧化能力及SOD、GSH-px活性,增加GSH含量,减少脂质过氧化产物MDA含量。显著提高喹啉酸损毁NBM核致痴呆大鼠大脑皮层及海马组织中乙酰胆碱的含量,提高海马胆碱乙酰转移酶及大脑皮层M1胆碱受体的表达。
综上所述,养血清脑颗粒可能通过改善神经营养因子表达,对抗自由基损伤、抑制脂质过氧化反应等,保护神经元及突触结构,提高脑内Ach、ChAT,改善中枢胆碱能神经系统功能,进而改善学习记忆

二、实验方法
1.动物分组及给药
将SAMP8小鼠随机分为模型组、养血清脑颗粒935mg/kg(人临床等效量)、1870mg/kg(2倍临床等效量)、3740mg/kg(4倍临床等效量)剂量组及盐酸多奈哌齐1.3mg/kg组,每组30只,另设SAMR1空白对照组25只。各组小鼠灌胃给药2个月后开始进行Y迷宫及新物体辨别实验,给药2个半月后进行Morris水迷宫及避暗实验。进行行为学实验时继续给药,每天一次,直至实验结束。
2.行为学实验
2.1小鼠自发活动实验
实验装置为四个长方形活动箱,内置红外线探头及摄像头,自发活动视频分析系统由上海吉量软件科技有限公司提供。实验时,将动物分别面壁放入四个活动箱中,每箱一只。设置采集时间5分钟,记录动物活动总路程、活动时间以及平均速度等指标。
2.2小鼠Y迷宫实验
装置由三个成120°夹角的等长木制支臂组成,即迷宫的A、B、C三臂。每臂长40cm,高12cm,上宽10cm,下宽5cm。实验时将小鼠放入A臂末端,让其自由出入三个臂,记录5min内每只小鼠进入三个臂的顺序及总次数(number of arm entries),以连续进入三个不同的臂为一次正确交替反应(successive alternation),记录正确交替反应次数(number of alternation)。用自发交替反应率(alternation behavior;%)反映空间工作记忆能力。Alternation behavior(%)=number of alternation/(N-2)×100(例如动物5min内进入三个臂的顺序依次为ABCACBACCAB,则N为11,successive alternation为:ABC、BCA、ACB、CBA、BAC、CAB。Alternation behavior(%)=[6/(11-2)]×100=66.7%)
2.3小鼠新物体辨别实验
实验装置为一木制的正方形开放场,实验分为适应阶段和测试阶段。将2-3只小鼠放入开放场中自由探索3min以适应环境,每天两次,进行2天。测试当天,先将动物放入实验场中自由探索3min以再次适应环境后,取出动物,将动物未曾见过的两个完全相同的物体(A1、A2)置于装置内距边缘等距离的位置上,将小鼠置于距两物体相等的位置,记录5min内探索两物体的时间(tA1、tA2),之后,将小鼠取出放回鼠笼1h后,将装置中一个物体换成一个在颜色、形状及材质方面均不相同的新物体(B),将小鼠再次放入,记录探索两物体所用时间(tA1、tB),将小鼠取出放回鼠笼。24h后,将物体B换成一个新物体(C),将小鼠再次放入,记录探索两物体所用时间(tA1、tC)。计算各组对新物体的优先指数及辨别系数,
计算公式如下:
优先指数计算公式如下:
优先指数(1h)=tB/(tA1+tB)
优先指数(24h)=tC/(tA1+tC)
辨别系数计算公式如下:
辨别系数(1h)=(tB-tA1)/(tA1+tB)
辨别系数(24h)=(tC-tA1)/(tA1+tC)
2.4小鼠Morris水迷宫实验
(1)定位航行实验:每天上下午各进行1次Morris水迷宫训练,连续5天。平台置于第四象限中点,
在平台对侧选两个与之距离相等的点作为入水点,将小鼠面向池壁放入水中,采集60s,记录小鼠从入水至找到平台的时间(逃避潜伏期,escape latency)及游泳路程,然后,让小鼠在平台上休息10s。如果60s未找到平台,潜伏期记为60s,并将小鼠置于平台上休息10s。每天在2个入水点各进行1次,以两次潜伏期的算术均值作为这1天的成绩进行统计分析。
(2)空间探索实验:定位航行实验后,撤除平台,将小鼠放入原平台对侧象限中点的水中,自由游泳60s。迷宫系统自动记录小鼠在原平台象限停留的时间及平台象限路程百分比等参数。
2.5小鼠避暗实验
实验装置分明、暗两室。两室大小均为15cm×10cm×11cm,两室之间有一直径为3cm大小的半圆形门。两室底部均铺以铜栅,暗室底部由第四根铜栅起可以通电,电压强度由一稳压器控制。此法系利用鼠类的嗜暗习性,将小鼠面部背向门口放入明室,适应环境3min,然后通以30V电压。小鼠进入暗室立即遭到电击,然后从门口逃回明室,如此训练5min,并记录小鼠受到电击的次数即错误次数,以此作为学习成绩。24h后测验,记录第一次进入暗室的潜伏期、5min内的错误次数,以此作为记忆成绩。

本实验采用Y迷宫、新物体辨别、Morris水迷宫及避暗等行为学实验方法,考察了养血清脑颗粒对喹啉酸损毁Meyert基底核(NBM核)致痴呆大鼠学习记忆障碍的改善作用;用HE染色方法观察大鼠海马组织结构的改变;采用透射电镜观察大鼠海马神经细胞及突触超微结构的变化;用免疫印迹(Western blot)方法考察养血清脑颗粒对喹啉酸损毁NBM核致痴呆大鼠海马及大脑皮层突触素(SYP)、突触生长相关蛋白43(GAP-43)、突触后致密物95(PSD-95)及海马毒蕈碱型乙酰胆碱受体(CHRM1)表达的影响;用酶联免疫(ELISA)方法考察对海马及大脑皮层乙酰胆碱(Ach)含量,海马胆碱乙酰转移酶(ChAT)含量及活性以及大脑皮层CHRM1含量的影响。
实验结果表明,养血清脑颗粒在647-2588mg/kg剂量范围内能够剂量依赖性地增加喹啉酸损毁NBM核致痴呆大鼠自发交替反应率,增加新物体辨别实验中对新物体的优先指数及辨别系数,缩短水迷宫实验中痴呆模型大鼠到达安全台的时间及路程,延长空间探索实验中痴呆模型大鼠在原平台所在象限的游泳时间和路程百分比,减少避暗实验被电击次数。以上行为学结果表明,养血清脑颗粒能够显著改善喹啉酸损毁NBM核致痴呆大鼠工作记忆障碍、空间学习记忆障碍以及视觉辨别能力等非空间学习记忆障碍,其高剂量组的作用与盐酸多奈哌齐相近。养血清脑颗粒能够改善海马神经元超微结构的异常及突触结构的异常;改善痴呆模型大鼠神经元的病理改变;剂量依赖性地提高海马及大脑皮层SYP、PSD-95的表达,而对大脑皮层及海马GAP-43表达未见显著影响。提高大脑皮层及海马Ach的含量及海马ChAT的含量,但对海马ChAT活性及CHRM1的表达未见显著影响。综上所述,养血清脑颗粒可能通过提高脑内SYP、PSD-95的表达,改善突触结构的异常,提高脑内Ach及其合成酶ChAT含量,改善中枢胆碱能神经系统功能,进而改善喹啉酸损毁NBM核致痴呆大鼠学习记忆障碍。

大鼠腹腔注射3.5%水合氯醛(350mg/kg体重)麻醉。剪去颅顶切口区毛,碘伏消毒后,固定在脑立体定位仪上。根据大鼠的脑立体定位图谱确定大鼠NBM核位置(AP:B-1.4mm、ML:±2.4mm、DV:-7.5mm),用牙科钻钻开颅骨,用微量注射器垂直进针,将2μl(含120nmol)喹啉酸(用0.1mol/L,pH 7.4PBS缓冲液溶解)缓慢注入左侧NBM核,留针5min,右侧注射与左侧保持一致。假手术组注入等量的PBS缓冲液。
2、分组与给药
将SD大鼠随机分为假手术组(阴性对照组)、模型组、盐酸多奈哌齐0.95mg/kg组、清脑养血颗粒647mg/kg组(人临床等效量)、1294mg/kg组(2倍人临床等效量)、2588mg/kg组(4倍人临床等效量),每组17-21只。各组均于造模后次日开始灌胃给药,每天一次至行为学实验全部结束。
3、行为学实验方法
3.1大鼠Y迷宫实验
大鼠Y迷宫实验旨在通过自发交替反应的指标,考察受试药物对大鼠工作记忆的影响。装置由三个夹角为120°的木制支臂组成,分别为A、B、C三臂。实验时将大鼠放入A臂末端,让其自由出入三个臂,记录8min内每只大鼠进入三个臂的总次数number of arm entries(N)及进臂顺序,以连续进入三个不同的臂为一次正确交替反应(successive alternation),记录正确交替反应次数(number of alternation)N。用自发交替反应率Alternation behavior(%)=number of alternation/(N-2)×100。
3.2大鼠新物体辨别实验
实验装置由直径为1.5米的黑色塑料制成。测试前两日,将2-3只大鼠面向装置壁放入实验装置中适应5min,每日两次。测试当天,先将大鼠放入实验装置中并允许自由探索3min以适应环境后,取出。将2个完全相同的物体(A1、A2)置于距装置壁等距离处,将大鼠再次放入装置中,分别记录5min内探索两物体的时间(tA1、tA2),每组另一半大鼠测试时改变物体A1、A2的颜色,以排除大鼠对颜色偏好。1h后,将其中一物体换成一个新物体(B),将大鼠再次放入,分别记录探索两物体所用时间(tA1、tB)。24h后,将物体B换成一个新物体(C),将大鼠再次放入,分别记录探索两物体所用时间(tA1、tC)。计算对新物体的优先指数及辨别系数。
优先指数计算公式如下:
优先指数(1h)=tB/(tA1+tB)公式(1)
优先指数(24h)=tC/(tA1+tC)公式(2)
辨别系数计算公式如下:
辨别系数(1h)=(tB-tA1/(tA1+tB)公式(3)
辨别系数(24h)=(tC-tA1/(tA1+tC)公式(4)
3.3大鼠自发活动实验
大鼠自发活动实验旨在考察受试药物对大鼠大脑皮层兴奋性的影响。实验装置为四个长方形活动箱(45×45×13cm),内置红外线探头及摄像头,自发活动视频分析系统由上海吉量软件科技有限公司提供。实验时,将动物分别面壁放入四个活动箱中,每箱一只。设置采集时间15分钟,记录动物活动总路程、活动时间以及平均速度等指标。
3.4大鼠Morris水迷宫实验
大鼠Morris水迷宫实验旨在考察受试药物对大鼠空间学习记忆能力的影响。
(1)定位航行实验:每天上下午各进行1次Morris水迷宫训练,连续4天。平台置于第四象限中点,在平台对侧选两个与之距离相等的点作为入水点,将大鼠面向池壁放入水中,采集90s,记录大鼠从入水至找到平台的时间(逃避潜伏期,escape latency),然后让大鼠在平台上休息10s。如果90s未找到平台,潜伏期记为90s,并将大鼠置于平台上休息10s。每天在不同的入水点进行训练。
(2)空间探索实验:定位航行实验结束后24h,撤除平台,将大鼠放入原平台对侧象限中点的水中,自由游泳90s。水迷宫系统自动记录大鼠在原平台象限停留的时间及路程等参数。
3.5大鼠被动回避反应实验(避暗实验)
大鼠避暗实验旨在考察受试药物对大鼠长期记忆的影响。装置为避暗箱(分为明室和暗室,明室上方以钨灯照明,暗室中后部铜栅可以通交流电,两室间有一直径为6cm×4cm的门洞)。实验分为训练和测试两部分。此法系利用鼠类的嗜暗习性,训练阶段将大鼠背对门口放入明室,自由活动适应3分钟后,待动物进入暗室,将洞门关上后通电。电击大鼠5秒钟后将洞门打开,动物会因为电击疼痛而进入明室。若其再进入暗室,则继续电击,直到大鼠在明室的时间达到2分钟,如此训练5min。24h后进行测试,将大鼠放入避暗箱明室内,记录5分钟内其进入暗室的次数作为错误次数,以及大鼠自放入避暗箱明室至第一次进入暗室的时间作为潜伏期(s),以此作为记忆成绩。

乙酰胆碱(Ach)是最早发现的与学习记忆密切相关的神经递质,胆碱乙酰转移酶(ChAT)催化乙酰辅酶A的乙酰基与胆碱在胞浆结合生成Ach。Ach合成后由突触小泡载体转运进入囊泡贮存,当有信号激活时,Ach扩散至突触后膜并与突触后膜受体结合,发挥其生物学作用。乙酰胆碱受体分为烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(nAChR)与毒蕈碱型乙酰胆碱受体(mAChR)。mAChR属G蛋白偶联的神经递质,有5种亚型:M1-M5,大脑中主要存在位于突触后膜的M1受体。ELISA结果表明,与假手术组相比,模型组大鼠大脑皮层及海马组织Ach的表达显著减少;与模型组相比,养血清脑颗粒剂量依赖性地增加Ach的表达,盐酸多奈哌齐组也显著增加Ach表达(见图70、图71以及表29)。
