RESUMEN

Objective To identify lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction;To explore the intervention effect of Huoxue Rongluo Prescription.Methods Multi-chip combined differential analysis(GSE61616,GSE30655)was used to identify lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction in combination with Reactome database,and the expression differences of lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction were identified and verified in GSE97537 chip;Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of 51 cerebral infarction samples in GSE61616,GSE30655,GSE97537,GSE137595,GSE22255,GSE163614,and GSE78731 datasets;PPI,GO and KEGG analysis of lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction were performed through STRING database and R clusterProfiler package.SD rats were made to the model of cerebral infarction,and was administered with Huoxue Rongluo Prescription extract 11.7 g/kg by intragastric administration for 7 days.The symptoms of neurological deficit,the changes of Nissl bodies and the mRNA expressions of PLA2G4A,SPHK1,and PTGES key genes in lipid metabolism in cerebral infarction were observed.Results TSPO,CYP1B1,PLIN2,CH25H,PLA2G4A,ANGPTL4,PTGS1,SPHK1,and PTGES were identified as lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction,and were significantly highly expressed and positively correlated in cerebral infarction.Among them,PTGS1,PLA2G4A,and SPHK1 interacted with each other,which were the key genes of lipid metabolism in cerebral infarction;the lipid metabolism gene in cerebral infarction mainly exerted molecular functions such as oxidoreductase activity,iron ion binding,heme binding,etc.,mediating arachidonic acid metabolism,phospholipase D signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,involved in regulation of lipid metabolism process,fatty acid metabolism process,fatty acid derivative metabolism process.The symptoms of neurological deficit in the model rats with cerebral infarction were severe(P<0.001),and Huoxue Rongluo Prescription could effectively improve the neurological deficit of model rats(P<0.001).The Nissl staining indicated that the neuronal structure was abnormal and the number was significantly reduced after cerebral infarction(P<0.001).Huoxue Rongluo Prescription could increase the number of neurons(P<0.001)and repair the neuronal structure.RT-qPCR showed that the key genes of lipid metabolism in cerebral infarction were significantly higher in cerebral infarction(P<0.001),corroborated with the bioinformatics results,and Huoxue Rongluo Prescription could reduce the expression of key lipid metabolism genes of PTGS1,PLA2G4A,and SPHK1(P<0.001,P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Huoxue Rongluo Prescription can down-regulate the expressions of PTGS1,PLA2G4A,SPHK1,exert molecular functions such as oxidoreductase activity,iron ion binding,heme binding,and mediate arachidonic acid metabolism,phospholipase D signaling pathway,and VEGF signaling pathway.It participates in the process of lipid metabolism regulation,fatty acid metabolism,and fatty acid derivative metabolism,increases the number of Nissl bodies,improves the symptoms of neurological deficits,and exerts neuroprotective effects.
