Problems solved by technology

However, there are no relevant reports on whether the hippocampus can resist depression-like behaviors, especially whether it can improve the behavioral manifestations of depression, such as self-enclosure, social decline, decreased willpower, anxiety, hopelessness and suicide. The molecular mechanism of action is even less clear

Embodiment 1

[0061] Example 1 Establishment of mouse depression model

[0062] Refer to Papp and Willner (Papp et al. , 1992) and modified for applicability, the animals were repurchased and adapted to the laboratory for one week, and randomly numbered and divided into groups, a total of 4 groups were set up, as shown in Table 1:

[0063] Table 1 Grouping of experimental animals

[0064]

[0065] The CUMS group and the CUMS+Seahorses group were exposed to the following stressors as model treatments; the Control group and Seahorses groups were reared under standard conditions without stress treatment.

[0066] All the stressors were randomly operated independently, and it was guaranteed not to be repeated within a week to prevent the animals from adapting. Two stressors were operated independently every day, and after 8 weeks of continuous stress, the behavior was measured. Stress sources include: water deprivation for 12 hours followed by stimulation with an empty water bottle for 6 ...

Embodiment 2

[0067] Embodiment 2 Behavioral experiments

[0068] The mice under four kinds of treatments in embodiment 1 are carried out following behavioral experiment:

[0069] 1. Social experiment

[0070] 1. Steps

[0071] The three-box social test box device is composed of three rectangular boxes, each box is 19×45cm in size, the partition between each box is transparent resin glass, and there is a channel in the middle to connect the three boxes, on the left and right A metal cage of the same specification is placed in the center of the side boxes, and the size should be large enough to accommodate a mouse. By measuring the number of times the mouse enters each box and the duration within 10 minutes (when the mouse's head and four paws enter a box, it is considered to be in that box), and the social mouse metal cage / empty cage within 10 minutes The number and duration of direct contact are used to analyze the social situation.

[0072] 2. Results

[0073] Such as figure 2 As s...

Embodiment 3

[0090] Example 3 Effect of male hippocampus on the expression of related proteins in mouse hippocampus

[0091] The expression of CD11b, a marker of M1 phenotype of microglial cells, and BDNF protein, a neurotrophic factor, were detected by Western Blot technology. The specific experimental steps are as follows:

[0092] 1. Isolation of mouse hippocampal brain tissue

[0093] After the mice were decapitated and sacrificed, the hippocampal tissues were quickly isolated on ice, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and then transferred to -80°C for storage.

[0094] 2. Preparation of protein samples

[0095] 1. Wash the hippocampal tissue with PBS solution at 4°C, then place it in a 1.5mL centrifuge tube, add protein lysate to the tissue, and use a hand-held homogenizer to homogenize. The amount added is related to the weight of the brain tissue. The volume mass ratio of lysate to tissue weight is 1mL:5g, and the whole process of homogenization is carried out on ice.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine and particularly discloses application of male sea horse to preparation of a medicine or a preparation for resisting a depressive behavior. A mouse depressive disorder model is established through chronic mild unpredictable stimulus, the mouse is fed with feed containing male sea horse, the effect of resisting male sea horse depressive behavior is evaluated through social experiment, mine experiment, forced swimming experiment and high cross maze experiment, and the possible mechanism can be detected through molecular biological technologies such as Western Blot, ELISA and HPLC. The research of the invention discovers that through regulation on the neurotrophic factor and microglia cell activity of the sea horse area of the mouse, regulation on the content of the inflammatory factors and oxidation stress products of an amygdala brain area, regulation on the change of neurotransmitter and metabolin thereof in the sea horse brain area and down regulation on peripheral serum corticosterone, the effect of removing the CUMS induced depression behavior is remarkable, and a new approach is provided for research and development of new anti-depression medicines.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medicine, in particular to the application of the male hippocampus in the preparation of antidepressant-like behavioral drugs or preparations. Background technique [0002] Seahorses is a traditional and precious marine Chinese herbal medicine in my country, which has the functions of warming the kidney and strengthening yang, and dissolving swelling. It is commonly used for impotence, enuresis, dyspnea due to kidney deficiency, accumulation of lumps in the abdomen, traumatic injuries; external treatment of carbuncle and furuncle. Research on its chemical composition shows that hippocampus has high nutritional and medicinal value and a variety of chemically active components: the protein content is as high as 70%, as well as fatty acids and lipid components, steroidal compounds, phospholipid components and more. inorganic elements, etc. Studies have shown that the hippocampus also has anti-oxidation, an...
