| Objective: To investigate the effects of catalpol combined with rosiglitazone on insulin resistance and inflammation in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) by regulating high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1)/Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) pathway. Methods:72 rats were randomly divided into PCOS group, catalpol group, rosiglitazone group, catalpol+rosiglitazone group, catalpol+rosiglitazone+HMGB1 activator(rr HMGB1) group and normal group. Luteinizing hormone(LH)/follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), testosterone, estradiol, fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose levels, insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR), and ovarian index were measured in the rats. Pathological changes in ovarian tissue were detected using HE staining. Using ELISA, levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) were detected in ovarian tissue. TLR4, HMGB1, and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 proteins were detected using Western blotting. Results:Compared with the PCOS group, the ovarian follicular cysts were reduced, the levels of LH/FSH, testosterone in serum, fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, HOMA-IR, ovarian index, levels of TNF-α, IL-1β in ovarian tissue, and TLR4, HMGB1, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 proteins were decreased, the level of estradiol in serum was increased in the catalpol group, rosiglitazone group, and catalpol+rosiglitazone group, the changes of corresponding indicators in catalpol+rosiglitazone group was the most significant(P<0.05). Rr HMGB1 reversed the improvement effect of the combination of catalpol and rosiglitazone on PCOS rats. Conclusion:The effect of catalpol combined with rosiglitazone on insulin resistance and inflammation in PCOS rats may be related to inhibiting the activation of HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB pathway. |
