Effects of anemarrhenae saponin on the expression of Kiss-1 and GPR54 mRNA in hypothalamus of rats with precocious puberty

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of anemarrhena saponin on precocious puberty rats and its possible mechanism.Methods 24 SD rats were divided into normal group, model group, leuprorelin group and anemarrhena saponin group, with 6 rats in each group. The model of precocious puberty was established by subcutaneous injection of danazol 300μg into 5-day-old rats, and drug intervention was carried out 10 days later. The development of uterus and ovary was observed by hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining. The serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E₂) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The mRNA expression levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Kiss-1 and G protein-coupled receptor 54(GPR54) were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( RT-qPCR).Results Compared with the model group, the vaginal opening time of anemarrhena saponin group was longer, the coefficient of uterus and ovary was smaller, and the thickness of uterine wall was thinner, the difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 05). Compared with the model group, the levels of LH, FSH and E₂ in leuprorelin group and anemarrhena saponin group were lower,and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 05). Compared with the model group, the expression level of Kiss-1 mRNA in leuprorelin group and anemarrhena saponin group was lower, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 05). Compared with the model group, the GPR54 mRNA expression level of anemarrhena saponin group was lower, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 05).Conclusions Anemarrhena saponin may regulate hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis (HPG axis) through Kiss-1 / GPR54 signaling pathway in the treatment of precocious puberty.
