[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the effects of Bushen Zhuyun Decoction (BZD) on the reproductive function of HPRL rat model and the mechanism of PRLR ubiquitination involved in it. Methods Forty female SD rats were randomly divided into five groups, including the normal control group, the high prolactin model group, the bromocriptine group, the low-dose herbal medicine group, and the high-dose herbal medicine group. The model was established by sc metoclopramide 40 mg·kg−1in the neck of rats once a day for 20 d. Equal volume of 0.9% NaCl solution was given to the control sc. After successful modeling, the drug was started to be administered once a day for 30 d consecutive ig administration, and equal volume of pure water was given to the control and model groups. The morphological changes of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovary, and uterus tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The levels of PRL, FSH, LH, and E2 in the blood were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of Kisspeptin, PRLR, and JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway-related proteins in the hypothalamus were detected by Western blotting. The expression level of Kisspeptin mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The co-localization expression of PRLR and Kisspeptin neurons was observed by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The level of PRLR ubiquitination was detected by immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and the binding level of PRLR with deubiquitinase CSN5 was detected. Results Compared with the normal control group, Model group of rats showed pathological changes in hypothalamic neurons, pituitary gland, ovary, and uterine tissues; Significant increase in serum PRL levels in rats, FSH, LH and E2 levels decreased significantly (P < 0.01); The expression levels of PRLR, Kisspeptin, CSN5 and phosphorylated JAK2 and STAT5 in rats (P < 0.01); kisspeptin mRNA Expression level was significantly reduced (P < 0.01); The PRLR ubiquitination level is increased; PRLR binds at a significantly less significant level to the deubiquitinating enzyme CSN5. Compared with the model group, nerve cells in the hypothalamic region were organized at low and high doses, and the number of inflammatory cells decreased; PRL decreased and FSH, LH and E2 increased (P < 0.05, 0.01); PRLR, Kisspeptin, CSN5 protein expression levels and phosphorylated JAK2 and STAT5 levels increased (P < 0.05, 0.01); PRLR ubiquitination decreased, and PRLR binding to CSN5 levels increased. Conclusion BZD can reduce the high PRL level and increase the expression of Kisspeptin in the hypothalamus of HPRL rats, improving the reproductive axis function. The mechanism may be related to the increase of PRLR and the deubiquitinating enzyme CSN5, reduce the level of PRLR ubiquitylation, and improve the expression of PRLR to mediate the JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway, and also prove the function of regulating the cardiac (brain) -kidney-uterine axis.
