Effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction on CXCR4-PI3K autophagy signal transduction pathway and Beclin-1 in a rat model of cerebral hemorrhage

BACKGROUND:Buyang Huanwu Decoction is commonly used in clinical medicine in treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage. Previous studies have been found that it has excellent neuroprotective effect, can efficiently inhibit the apoptosis of nerve cells. Autophagic activity is closely related to apoptosis of nerve cells. CXCR4-PI3K autophagy signaling pathway has been verified in clinic. However, the effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction is poorly understood. There is no study on Beclin-1 in the neuroprotective studies of Buyang Huanwu Decoction.  OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction on CXCR4-PI3K autophagy signaling pathway and Beclin-1 in rats with cerebral hemorrhage and related mechanisms.  METHODS:According to Rosenberg method, a rat model of cerebral hemorrhage was replicated and intragastrically administered Buyang Huanwu Decoction. Western blot assay was used to measure Beclin-1 protein. Immunohistochemical method was utilized to detect the expression of PI3K, AKT, stromal cell derived factor 1 and CXCR-4 protein. TUNEL assay was applied to identify apoptosis.  RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) After administration, Buyang Huanwu Decoction could reduce the number of neuronal apoptosis in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage, up-regulate the expression of Beclin-1, PI3K, AKT, stromal cell derived factor 1, and CXCR-4 protein, and exert neuroprotective effect. (2) Buyang Huanwu Decoction could activate CXCR4-PI3K autophagy signal transduction pathway, both to stimulate autophagy and to regulate autophagy state, can inhibit apoptosis, and exert cerebral protective effect.
