    摘要:

    目的:观察长蛇灸对“阳虚质”大鼠棕色脂肪(BAT)产热的影响,探索其改善阳虚质的机制。方法:15只SPF级SD大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组和长蛇灸组(每组5只)。模型组和长蛇灸组通过趋热筛选及传代选育制备阳虚质模型,长蛇灸组造模后连续15天接受长蛇灸治疗。检测各组肛温、体质量、趋热性、冰水游泳时间和自发活动次数;酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测血清中促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)、皮质醇(CORT)和促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素(CRH)的水平;HE染色观察肩胛区BAT脂滴形态;免疫组化与Western Blot法检测BAT中解偶联蛋白1(UCP1)、PTEN诱导的激酶1(PINK1)、帕金森病相关蛋白(Parkin)表达。结果:与正常组相比,模型组肛温、体质量、冰水游泳时间和自发活动次数降低(P<0.01),趋热性增加(P<0.01),ACTH、CRH水平降低(P<0.001),BAT脂滴数量减少、空泡增大,且BAT中UCP1、PINK1、Parkin的蛋白表达均下调(P<0.01)。与模型组相比,长蛇灸组治疗后肛温、体质量、冰水游泳时间和自发活动次数上升(P<0.01),趋热性降低(P<0.01),ACTH、CRH水平升高(P<0.001),BAT脂滴数量增多、空泡变小,UCP1、PINK1、Parkin水平升高(P<0.01)。结论:长蛇灸可改善阳虚质大鼠症状和血清激素水平,其机制可能与激活PINK1/Parkin通路促进线粒体自噬,增加BAT中UCP1表达促进产热有关。

    Abstract:

    Objective:?To observe the effects of Long Snake Moxibustion on brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis in rats with a "Yang-deficiency constitution" and to explore its underlying mechanism for improving this constitution.?Methods:?Fifteen SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, and a Long Snake Moxibustion group (5 rats per group). The model and Long Snake Moxibustion groups underwent heat-preference screening and generational breeding to establish the Yang-deficiency constitution model. Following modeling, the Long Snake Moxibustion group received treatment for 15 consecutive days. Measurements included anal temperature, body weight, heat preference, ice-water swimming time, and spontaneous activity count. Serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol (CORT), and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to observe lipid droplet morphology in interscapular BAT. The expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), and Parkinson's disease-associated protein (Parkin) in BAT was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot.?Results:?Compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited decreased anal temperature, body weight, ice-water swimming time, and spontaneous activity (P<0.01), increased heat preference (P<0.01), lower levels of ACTH and CRH (P<0.001), a reduction in BAT lipid droplet number with enlarged vacuoles, and downregulated protein expression of UCP1, PINK1, and Parkin in BAT (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Long Snake Moxibustion group showed increased anal temperature, body weight, ice-water swimming time, and spontaneous activity after treatment (P<0.01), decreased heat preference (P<0.01), elevated levels of ACTH and CRH (P<0.001), an increase in BAT lipid droplet number with smaller vacuoles, and upregulated protein expression of UCP1, PINK1, and Parkin in BAT (P<0.01).?Conclusion:?Long Snake Moxibustion can improve symptoms and serum hormone levels in rats with a Yang-deficiency constitution. The mechanism may be related to activating the PINK1/Parkin pathway to promote mitophagy, thereby increasing UCP1 expression in BAT and enhancing thermogenesis.
