Construction and Evaluation of Animal Model with Spleen Deficiency and Dampness Stagnation Syndrome Combining Atopic Dermatitis
Objective To establish a mouse model of spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combining atopic dermatitis(AD)and explore the feasibility of modeling by comparing 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB)-induced atopic dermatitis model of mouse,"external dampness+improper diet+irrigation of senna"-induced spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome model of mouse,as well as both in combination of model mouse.Methods The construction of a mouse(Balb/c)with spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome was explored by using the method of"external dampness+improper diet+irrigation of senna",and then DNCB was applied to induce the AD-like lesions in Balb/c mice to establish a mouse model of spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combining atopic dermatitis.The general condition and body weight of mice in each group were observed,and the symptoms of spleen deficiency and dampness were scored.The severity of AD was evaluated by comparing the skin lesion degree,EASI score,transcutaneous water loss value(TEWL),spleen index and thymus index.The levels of creatinine,glucose,total cholesterol,triglyceride,gastrin,and amylase were measured.Results(1)During the modeling period of spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome,compared with the normal group,spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome group,spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combined with atopic dermatitis group showed obesity,listlessness,filthy and greasy hair,diarrhea,and poor cleanliness around the anal.After combining with the application of the atopic dermatitis model,the body weight of the mice in atopic dermatitis group(P＜0.001),spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome group(P＜0.05)and spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combined with atopic dermatitis group(P＜0.001)decreased sharply compared with the normal group.(2)Compared with the atopic dermatitis group,the degree of skin lesions,EASI score(P＜0.05)and TEWL(P＞0.05)were higher in the spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combined with atopic dermatitis group.(3)Compared with the normal group,the spleen index of the atopic dermatitis group increased(P＜0.001)and the thymus index decreased(P＜0.001).Compared with the atopic dermatitis group,the spleen index(P＞0.05)and thymus index(P＜0.05)of the spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combined with atopic dermatitis group decreased.(4)The results of serum biochemical indexes showed that compared with the normal group,the levels of creatinine(P＜0.01),glucose(P＜0.001),total cholesterol(P＞0.05),triglyceride(P＞0.05)and gastrin(P＜0.001)in the spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome group were increased,and the level of amylase was decreased(P＜0.01).Compared with the atopic dermatitis group,the levels of creatinine(P＞0.05),glucose(P＜0.05),total cholesterol(P＞0.05),triglyceride(P＞0.05),gastrin(P＜0.001)increased and the level of amylase decreased(P＞0.05).Conclusion A mouse model of spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combining atopic dermatitis,which was induced by the combination of DNCB and"external dampness+improper diet+irrigation of senna",can not only show obvious TCM indications of spleen deficiency and dampness syndrome,but also show the characteristics of AD.This model can be used as a reliable animal model of combination of disease and syndrome.It provides reference for further study on pathological mechanism,pharmacodynamic evaluation and pharmacological mechanism of spleen deficiency and dampness stagnation syndrome combining atopic dermatitis.
