Kaixin San ameliorating doxorubicin-induced neurotoxicity by activating AMPK signaling pathway
The study explored the pathological mechanism of doxorubicin chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity and the intervention methods of traditional Chinese medicine.BALB/c mice were selected to establish tumor-bearing mouse models by orthotopic injection of 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells.After randomization,the mice were treated with doxorubicin chemotherapy or doxorubicin chemotherapy+Kaixin San (KXS).The lesions in the prefrontal cortex of mice were observed by pathological examination,and the lesion information was obtained by long non-coding RNA sequencing.The occurrence of lesions was determined by Western blot and biochemical indicators.In addition,neuroblastoma cells and microglia cells were used to construct in vitro models,and drug-containing serum and p-AMPK dephosphorylation inhibitors were used to further verify the accuracy of animal experiments.Pathological results showed that KXS could alleviate doxorubicin-induced neuronal degeneration in the prefrontal cortex.The long non-coding RNA sequencing suggested that neuronal degeneration and the intervention process of KXS were related to ferroptosis,immune diseases,AMPK signaling pathway,etc.Western blot and biochemical indicators confirmed that this process was directly related to the activation of the AMPK/HIF-1α/ACSL4 signaling pathway to alleviate ferroptosis of neurons and immune response of glial cells.In conclusion,KXS could alleviate doxorubicin-induced neurotoxicity by activating the AMPK signaling pathway and reducing the ferroptosis of neurons and immune response of glial cells.
