[Effect of Corydalis yanhusuo and L-THP on Gastrointestinal Dopamine System in Morphine-Dependent Rats].
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective mechanism of Corydalis yanhuso and L-THP in morphine-dependent gastrointestinal injury rats.
METHODS: 180 male rats were randomly divided into nine groups, 20 rats for each group: saline group (N), model group (M), NS treatment group and three different dosage of Corydalis yanhusuo and L-THP groups (low dose group,middle dose group and high dose group). The rat CPP (conditioned place preference) model was established by injecting the rats with an increasing dosage of morphine, all groups received CPP training in a black compartments and white ones (drug-paired compartment) for ten days. At 48 h after the final training, the performance of CPP models were assessed to make sure all models were exported correctly. Then the treatment groups were administered with different concentration of Corydalis yanhuso (0.5, 1 and 2 g/kg) and L-THP (0.94, 1.88 and 3.76 mg/kg) for six days. All rats were immediately killed after finish the last CPP test. For each group, ten rats were killed to detect the contents of DA in the stomach and duodenum through the fluorescence spectrophotometer. The expression levels of D2 receptor( D2R) in different tissues (gastric cardia, gastric body, pylorus and duodenum) were checked by Western-blot in the other rats.
RESULTS: In the NS treatment group, the time when rats stay in the white ones were significantly decreased compared with the Corydalis yanhusuo treated groups (1 and 2 g/kg) and L-THP treated groups (1.88 and 3.76 mg/kg) (P < 0.01), the high expression of DA contents in the stomach and duodenum were significantly decreased (P < 0.01). However the protein level of D2R were notably lower in gastric cardia, gastric body, pylorus and duodenum (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Injuries of the gastrointestinal tract followed lower DA contents and an abnormal increase of D2R in the stomach and duodenum of rats, which induced by morphine-dependent could be reversed by treatment with Corydalis yanhusuo and L-THP. This is one of mechanism underlying the protective effects of gastrointestinal tract in morphine-dependent rats.
