目的: 观察甘麦大枣汤对抑郁模型大鼠行为学及单胺递质的影响,并从突触结构及结构蛋白MAP-2与GAP-43表达改变探讨其潜在作用机制。方法: 60只SD大鼠随机分为5组:正常对照组、模型组、氟西汀组(10.8 mg/kg)、甘麦大枣汤高、低剂量组(9.72、4.86 g/kg),每组12只。除对照组外,其余各组大鼠均采用慢性不可预见性温和应激(CUMS)建立抑郁模型,并于造模同时给药组灌胃给药,连续21 d。采用糖水消耗实验和旷场测试评价大鼠抑郁样行为,ELISA法检测海马单胺递质5-HT、NE含量,Golgi染色观察神经元突触损伤情况,免疫组化法和Western blot法检测海马突触结构蛋白MAP-2和GAP-43的表达。结果: 与对照组比较,抑郁模型大鼠糖水偏好度及自主活动评分均显著下降(P＜0.01),海马5-HT、NE含量显著下降(P＜0.01),树突棘缺失明显,同时MAP-2和GAP-43表达均显著下调(P＜0.01);甘麦大枣汤干预后,模型大鼠抑郁样行为明显缓解(P＜0.01),5-HT、NE含量显著升高(P＜0.05),树突棘密度、长度及分枝增加,MAP-2和GAP-43表达显著回升(P＜0.01)。结论: 甘麦大枣汤能改善抑郁模型大鼠的抑郁样行为,升高海马单胺递质含量,其作用可能与上调突触结构蛋白、缓解神经元突触损伤有关。.

Depression is a highly prevalent and recurrent mental disorder that impacts all aspects of human life. Undesirable effects of the antidepressant drugs led to the development of complementary and alternative therapies. Gan-Mai-Da-Zao-Tang (, gān mài dà zǎo tang) is a traditional herbal formula commonly used for the treatment of depression, but lack of scientific proof on its mechanism. It consisted of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (licorice), Triticum aestivum L. (wheat) and Zizphus jujuba Mill. (jujube). The objective of this study is to investigate the antidepressant effects of Gan-Mai-Dazao-Tang and its ingredients in rats exposed to forced swimming test (FST). The 72 of male Nerl: Wistar rats (8 weeks old) were randomized into control (10 mL/kg bw H₂O), licorice (0.4 g/kg bw), wheat (1.6 g/kg bw), jujube (0.5 g/kg bw), Gan-Mai-Da-Zao-Tang (2.5 g/kg bw of licorice: wheat: jujube in ratio of 5:20:6) and Prozac (18 mg/kg bw) groups. Samples were administered by oral gavage for 21 days. FST was performed on 21st day, with 15 min for pretest followed by 5 min for real test. Then, the animals were sacrificed and brain tissues were collected for monoamines analyses. The Gan-Mai-Da-Zao-Tang (LWJ) showed significantly down-regulation of immobility time, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and DOPAC/dopamine (DA) turnover rates, and also enhanced the concentration of serotonin (5-HT) and DA in brain tissues, as compared with the control. The LWJ stated the potent antidepressant-like effect by modulating these monoamines concentration, while the licorice, wheat and jujube did not reported significant results as compared with control group. The positive control (Prozac) was noted with significantly reduction in body weight and appetite. In conclusion, the antidepressant-like effects of LWJ might be mediated by the regulation of monoamine neurotransmitters. Thus, it could beneficial in depression treatment as a complementary approach.
