Abstract
Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on endoplasmic reticulum calcium
apoptosis number and Caspase-12 protein expression in hippocampal neurons of convulsive rats
so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of convulsion. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into normal control
model and acupuncture groups
with 36 rats in each group. Rats in the normal control group received intraperitoneal injection(i.p.) of normal saline(2 mL)
and those of the other 2 groups received i.p. of pentylenetetrazole(50 mg/kg) for establishing convulsion model. Manual acupuncture stimulation was applied to “Baihui”(GV20) and “Dazhui”(GV14) for 30 min after modeling. The hippocampal tissues were taken at 2
12 and 48 h after modeling. The endoplasmic reticulum Ca
(2+)
concentration(optical density
OD) was detected by using fluorescence probe technique and laser confocal microscopy
and the number of apoptosis of hippocampal neurons at the 3 time points detected by using terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling(TUNEL) stain. The expression of Caspase-12 protein in hippocampus at 3 time points was observed by immunohistochemistry.Results In comparison with the normal group
the number of apoptotic cells of hippocampal neurons and the expression levels of Caspase-12 protein in hippocampus at 2
12 and 48 h after seizures were obviously increased(P
<
0.01)
and the OD value of Ca(2+) concentration(optical density
OD) was detected by using fluorescence probe technique and laser confocal microscopy
and the number of apoptosis of hippocampal neurons at the 3 time points detected by using terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling(TUNEL) stain. The expression of Caspase-12 protein in hippocampus at 3 time points was observed by immunohistochemistry.Results In comparison with the normal group
the number of apoptotic cells of hippocampal neurons and the expression levels of Caspase-12 protein in hippocampus at 2
12 and 48 h after seizures were obviously increased(P
<
0.01)
and the OD value of Ca
(2+)
at 3 time points significantly decreased(P
<
0.01) in the model group.Following acupuncture intervention
the increased levels of the number of apoptotic cells of hippocampal neurons and the expression of Caspase-12 protein in hippocampus at 3 time points and the decreased levels of OD value of Ca(2+) at 3 time points significantly decreased(P
<
0.01) in the model group.Following acupuncture intervention
the increased levels of the number of apoptotic cells of hippocampal neurons and the expression of Caspase-12 protein in hippocampus at 3 time points and the decreased levels of OD value of Ca
(2+)
at 3 time points were reversed in the acupuncture group(P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture intervention is effective in reducing the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in convulsion rats
which may be related to its functions in down-regulating Caspase-12 expression and promoting influx of Ca(2+) at 3 time points were reversed in the acupuncture group(P
