Description
Abstract
Aims. This research was aimed to investigate whether diabetic blood-stasis syndrome had a relationship with ERK1/2-VEGF signaling pathway in rat retina Müller cells and Traditional Chinese Drugs designed for promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis had effectiveness for diabetic retinopathy (DR) treatment. Methods. Immunofluorescence was applied to determine purity of Müller cells. Müller cells were stimulated by blood serum obtained from rats with blood-stasis syndrome and then treated by Xuefu Zhuyu decoction. Western blot analysis, RT-PCR and ELISA were used to measure the expression of VEGF. Western blot analysis was used to determine the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. The status of AP-1 DNA binding activity was monitored by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results. Stimulation of Müller cells by blood serum of rat with diabetic blood stasis increased the secretion of VEGF, activated ERK1/2 and AP-1 DNA-binding activity. And treatment of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction could weaken this phenomenon. What's more, ERK1/2 signaling pathway inhibitor U0126 also could inhibit the expression of VEGF. Conclusions. Diabetic blood-stasis syndrome in theory of traditional Chinese Medicine has positive role in regulating ERK1/2-VEGF signaling pathway. Traditional Chinese drugs for promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis would be an effective therapy to treat DR.
