Mechanism of astragaloside IV promoting bone marrow EPCs mobilization in diabetic ulcer rats
Objective To investigate the effect of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)regulating the signal axis of stromal cell-derived factor-1α(SDF-1α)/CXC chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)on the mobilization of bone marrow endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs)to peripheral blood in diabetes skin ulcer(DSU)rats.Methods Twenty four SPF grade male Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were selected to make the model of type 2 diabetes rats by intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg 1％(plastid ratio)streptozotocin,and then round full-thickness skin with a diameter of 2 cm was cut on both sides of the waist and back to make the skin ulcer model of diabetes rats.After that,they were randomly divided into AS-Ⅳ group(50 mg/kg AS-Ⅳ),blocker group(50 mg/kg AS-Ⅳ+5 mg/kg AMD3100)and model group.At the same time,a blank group(n=8)was set up,The drug was administered via intraperitoneal injection,and the model group and blank group were treated with 0.9％NaCl of equal volume.On the 10th day,peripheral blood,femoral bone marrow,and wound neovascularization tissues of rats were collected.The number of EPCs in peripheral blood of each group of rats was measured by flow cytometry,and the protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in peripheral blood,femoral bone marrow,and wound neovascularization tissues of rats was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);At the same time,the wound healing rates of each group were tested.Results On the 10th and 21st day after modeling,the wound healing rate of each group of rats was compared.The blank group healed the fastest,while the model group healed the slowest.The AS-Ⅳ group had better healing than the model group and the blocker group,and the difference was statistically significant(all P＜0.05).On the 10th day after modeling,the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the white group,AS-Ⅳ group,and blocker group were significantly higher than those in the model group(all P＜0.05),while the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the blocker group were significantly lower than those in the AS-Ⅳ group(all P＜0.05).On the 10th day after modeling,the protein expression of SDF-1αand CXCR4 in the wound,serum,and bone marrow of the model group was the lowest,while the protein expression in the blank group was the highest(all P＜0.05).The protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the wound,serum,bone marrow of the AS-IV group was significantly higher than that of the blocker group and model group,and the difference was statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusions Astragaloside Ⅳ can promote the mobilization and migration of endothelial progenitor cells from bone marrow to peripheral blood in diabetes ulcer rats by regulating SDF-1α/CXCR4 signal axis,and can participate in angiogenesis of diabetes ulcer wounds as seed cells to promote the healing of diabetes skin ulcers.
