Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of pharmacology and behavioral psychology, and particularly to a research method for the mechanism of the effect of gastrodin on anxiety-like behaviors after sleep deprivation. Background Art
[0002] Sleep deprivation is a common phenomenon widely existing in modern society. Due to factors such as work pressure and living habits, many people cannot get enough sleep. Long-term sleep deprivation can have serious impacts on an individual's physical and mental health, including decreased cognitive function, mood swings, weakened immunity, etc. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that sleep deprivation may also trigger or exacerbate mental disorders such as anxiety, seriously affecting people's quality of life and social functions.
[0003] Gastrodin is an active ingredient extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Gastrodia elata, and has various pharmacological effects such as sedation and anti-anxiety. Previous studies have shown that gastrodin can exert its pharmacological effects by regulating neurotransmitters and reducing oxidative stress, etc., but its specific mechanism of action has not been fully clarified. Especially its mechanism of action in anxiety-like behaviors caused by sleep deprivation still needs further in-depth study. Summary of the Invention

[0091] Use a pipette to aspirate 3 mL of rapid blocking solution into a blocking box, then aspirate 12 mL of TBST buffer again, place it on a shaker and gently shake to mix well. Prepare and store it for later use at 4°C.
[0092] 1.2 Experimental methods
[0093] 1.2.1 Grouping of experimental animals
[0094] Before the experiment, the mice were adaptively raised for 1 week. Male ICR mice were divided into 4 groups by the random number method: blank control group (CON group), gastrodin control group (GAS group), sleep deprivation group (SD group), and gastrodin intervention group (GAS+SD group). The sleep deprivation group and the gastrodin intervention group used the "modified multi-platform water environment method" to establish a mouse sleep deprivation model. The blank control group and the gastrodin control group were normally raised without deprivation.
[0095] 1.2.2 Establishment of sleep deprivation model
[0096] The "modified multi-platform water environment method" was used to establish a sleep deprivation animal model. The mice were placed in a platform sleep deprivation box (52 cm × 36 cm × 20 cm), which contained 20 small cylinders with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a height of 5 cm. The platform was 1 cm above the water level. The mice could move freely on each platform but could not cross over to adjacent platforms. The water temperature was maintained at about 20 ± 2°C. Each group of mice could freely obtain food and drinking water on the mesh top, and the water in the water tank was changed regularly every day. Since the mice's whole body skeletal muscles relax when they enter the rapid eye movement sleep period (REM) during sleep and they will fall into the water, due to the mice's fear of water, sleep deprivation was caused.
[0097] 1.2.3 Sleep deprivation experiment and drug administration
[0098] (1) Sleep deprivation: After 1 week of adaptive feeding of the mice, the mice in the GAS group and the GAS+SD group were pretreated with intragastric administration of gastrodin for 7 days before modeling; at the same time, the CON group and the SD group were given intragastric administration of the same dose of normal saline for 7 consecutive days. The intragastric administration started at 9:00 every morning. Before modeling, the SD group and the GAS+SD group were adapted to the deprivation box for 2 hours (10:00 - 12:00) for 3 consecutive days. Sleep deprivation started at 8:00 in the morning on the first day after the adaptation ended and continued for 5 consecutive days. The CON group and the GAS group were not subjected to sleep deprivation.
[0099] (2) Gastric gavage with gastrodin: After weighing 100 mg of gastrodin using a high-precision electronic analytical balance, it was dissolved in 10 ml of physiological saline, and the dosage was 100 mg / kg based on the body weight of the mice. Gastrodin is a highly water-soluble phenolic glycoside sedative with poor lipid solubility but good oral bioavailability. The gastric gavage method involves preparing the drug as a solution or suspension and injecting it into the stomach through a catheter with a syringe. To ensure the accuracy of the drug dosage, the gastric gavage method for mice was used in this experiment: When operating, hold the mouse's tail with the right hand, first place the mouse on the experimental table, gently pull the tail backward, and when the mouse grabs the tabletop with its front paws and stops moving, use the thumb and index finger of the left hand to pinch the skin of the mouse's head and neck under the ears to control the mouse's head and prevent it from moving left and right. Then, use the middle finger, ring finger, little finger, and palm to gently hold the back skin, straighten the mouse's head and neck, and hold the gastric gavage needle (the gastric gavage needle is 4.5 cm long, about 0.8 mm in diameter, and the needle tip is smooth) with the right hand and carefully place it into the mouse's mouth from the left corner of the mouth, gently press the tongue surface, and then insert it into the esophagus along the upper palate. After the gastric gavage needle enters the esophagus, keep the mouse's body perpendicular to the ground, and then push the liquid medicine. After the liquid medicine is injected, gently pull out the gastric gavage needle. Identification of successful injection of the liquid medicine into the mouse's stomach: The injection of the liquid medicine is smooth without resistance, and the mouse shows no coughing or violent reactions. During the whole operation process, the operation method should not be rough, and the movements should be as gentle as possible. If the gastric gavage needle enters the trachea or there is a feeling of resistance, it should be withdrawn and reinserted.
[0100] 1.2.4 Open-field test for mice
[0101] The open-field test is often used to evaluate the mental state of mice. Seven days before the start of the experiment, the experiment operator should stroke the mice for 5 minutes every day to make the mice familiar with the experimenter's smell. After sleep deprivation, the mice should be placed in the experimental operation room for 1 hour to adapt to reduce the influence of external environmental factors on the mice. The open-field reaction chamber consists of a 50x50x40 cm square box. A square area with a side length of 30 cm is defined as the central field in the center of the test area, and the other areas are defined as the peripheral fields. Place each mouse in the central area of this region and let the mouse freely explore in the open-field box for 5 minutes, and use a overhead video tracking system to record the activities of the experimental animals. Record the moving speed, movement trajectory, staying time, and total movement distance of the mice entering the central area. After each mouse's experiment, clean the container with ethanol to avoid leaving a smell that affects the activities of the next mouse.
[0102] 1.2.5 Elevated plus-maze test for mice
[0103] Mice were subjected to the EPM experiment to measure anxiety-related behaviors. The standard elevated plus-maze apparatus was located 70 cm above the ground. The experimental animals were gently taken out of the breeding cage and placed in the central area of the elevated plus-maze, ensuring that their backs were towards the closed arms. Video monitoring was used to record the activities of the experimental animals freely exploring in the apparatus for 5 minutes. After the recording was completed, the animals were returned to the breeding cage, and the feces and urine were cleaned with 75% alcohol. After the apparatus was dried, the next experiment was carried out. Record the experimental indicators (with the entry of the first two paws as the standard):
[0104] Open-arm time (s): This is the time that the mouse stays in the open arm. It is based on the standard that both front paws of the mouse enter the open arm from the central area and the timing starts. The timing stops when both front paws completely withdraw from the open arm, indicating the completion of this entry. The cumulative residence time in the open arm within 5 minutes is obtained to get the open-arm time (s).
[0105] Open-arm entries (n): This is the number of times the mouse stays in the open arm. It is based on the standard that both front paws of the mouse enter the open arm from the central area and the timing starts. When both front paws completely withdraw from the open arm, it indicates the completion of this entry, which is recorded as one time.
[0106] Closed-arm time (s): This is the time that the mouse stays in the closed arm. It is based on the standard that both front paws of the mouse enter the closed arm from the central area and the timing starts. The timing stops when both front paws completely withdraw from the closed arm, indicating the completion of this entry. The cumulative residence time in the closed arm within 5 minutes is obtained to get the closed-arm time (s).
[0107] Closed-arm entries (n): This is the number of times the mouse stays in the closed arm. It is based on the standard that both front paws of the mouse enter the closed arm from the central area and the timing starts. If both front paws completely withdraw from the closed arm, it indicates the end of this entry, which is recorded as one time.
[0108] 1.2.6 Statistical methods
[0109] GraphPad Prism version 9.5 software (Graph Pad Software, San Diego, CA) and SPSS version 26.0 software were used for statistical analysis. The data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (±). One-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) was used for comparing the data between groups. When the variances were homogeneous, the LSD method was used for pairwise comparison between groups, and P < 0.05 indicated that the data had statistical differences. When the variances were heterogeneous, Tamhane's T2 method was used for pairwise comparison between groups, and P < 0.05 indicated that the data had statistical differences.

The method for studying the mechanism of the effect of gastrodin on anxiety-like behavior after sleep deprivation according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S4, the sleep deprivation experiment and drug administration are as follows: S41: Sleep deprivation: After 1 week of adaptive feeding of mice, the mice in the gastrodin control group and the gastrodin intervention group were given gastrodin gavage for 7 days before modeling; at the same time, the blank control group and the sleep deprivation group were given the same dose of normal saline gavage for 7 consecutive days; before modeling, the sleep deprivation group and the gastrodin intervention group were adapted in the deprivation box for 2 hours for 3 consecutive days; sleep deprivation started at 8:00 am on the first day after the end of adaptation, and sleep deprivation lasted for 5 consecutive days. The blank control group and the gastrodin control group were not given sleep deprivation; S42: Intragastric administration of gastrodin: 100 mg of gastrodin was weighed using a high-precision electronic analytical balance and dissolved in 10 ml of normal saline. The dosage was 100 mg / kg based on the body weight of the mouse. The drug was prepared into a solution or suspension and injected into the stomach via a catheter using a syringe.
8. The method for studying the mechanism of effect of gastrodin on anxiety-like behavior after sleep deprivation according to claim 1, characterized in that: In said S42, when gavage is performed, specifically: Lift the mouse's tail with your right hand, place the mouse on the experimental table first, and gently pull its tail back. When the mouse's forelimbs grab the table and do not move, pinch the skin of the head and neck under the ears of the mouse with the thumb and index finger of your left hand to control the mouse's head so that it cannot move left and right. Then carefully pinch the skin on the back with your middle finger, ring finger, little finger and palm, straighten the mouse's head and neck, hold the gavage needle in your right hand and put it into the mouth from the left corner of the mouse's mouth, gently press the tongue surface, and then enter the esophagus along the upper palate; after the gavage needle enters the esophagus, keep the mouse's body vertical to the ground, and then push the drug solution in. When the drug solution is injected, gently pull out the gavage needle.
9. The method for studying the mechanism of effect of gastrodin on anxiety-like behavior after sleep deprivation according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S5, the experimenter should stroke the mice for 5 minutes every day 7 days before the experiment to make the mice familiar with the experimenter's smell; after the end of sleep deprivation, the mice should be placed in the experimental operation room for 1 hour to adapt to the experiment to reduce the impact of external environmental factors on the mice; The open field reaction box adopts a square box; a square area with a side length of 30 cm is set in the center of the test area as the central venue, and other areas are used as peripheral venues; each mouse is placed in the central area of the area, and the mouse is allowed to freely explore in the open field box for 5 minutes, and the activities of the experimental animals are recorded with an overhead video tracking system; the movement speed, movement trajectory, residence time and total movement distance of the mouse entering the central area are recorded; the container is cleaned with ethanol after the experiment of each mouse.
10. The method for studying the mechanism of effect of gastrodin on anxiety-like behavior after sleep deprivation according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S6, mice were subjected to an EPM experiment to measure anxiety-related behaviors; a standard elevated plus maze apparatus was located 70 cm above the ground; the experimental animals were gently taken out of the cage and placed in the central area of the elevated plus maze, ensuring that the back was facing the closed arms, and the experimental animals were monitored by video and recorded for 5 minutes of free exploration in the apparatus; after the recording was completed, the mice were returned to the cage, and feces and urine were cleaned with 75% alcohol, and the next experiment was carried out after the apparatus was dry; Record experimental indicators: Open arm time: refers to the time the mouse stays in the open arm. The time starts when both front paws of the mouse enter the open arm from the central area. The time recording stops when both front paws completely withdraw from the open arm. The time of entering the open arm is accumulated within 5 minutes to get the time of entering the open arm. Open arm times: refers to the number of times the mouse stayed in the open arm. The time was recorded when both front paws of the mouse entered the open arm from the central area. The entry was completed when both front paws completely withdrew from the open arm and was recorded as one time. Closed arm time: refers to the time the mouse stays in the closed arm. The time starts when both front paws of the mouse enter the closed arm from the central area. The entry is completed when both front paws are completely withdrawn from the closed arm, and the time recording stops. The time of entering the closed arm is accumulated within 5 minutes to get the time of entering the closed arm. The number of closed arms is the number of times the mouse stays in the closed arm. The time is recorded when both front paws of the mouse enter the closed arm from the central area. If both front paws are completely withdrawn from the closed arm, it means that the entry is over and is recorded as one time.
