Objective To investigate the mechanism of Jiawei Tongluo Formula-containing serum on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced injury in primary rat cortical neurons based on the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. Methods Primary cortical neurons were isolated and cultured from fetal rats. Jiawei Tongluo Formula-containing serum and blank serum were prepared from rats. The OGD/R cell model was established by subjecting neurons to OGD for 6 hours followed by reoxygenation for 12 hours or 24 hours. Primary rat cortical neurons were randomly divided into the following groups: blank control,medicated serum,OGD6 h/R12 h,OGD6 h/R12 h + medicated serum,OGD6 h/R12 h + inhibitor,OGD6 h/R12 h + combination,OGD6 h/R24 h,and OGD6 h/R24 h + medicated serum. One hour prior to OGD treatment,the blank control group received 10% blank serum;the medicated serum group received 10% Jiawei Tongluo Formula-containing serum; the inhibitor group received 20 µmol·L-1 SP600125(JNK pathway inhibitor, dissolved in DMSO, final concentration <0.1%); and the combination group received 10% medicated serum + 20 µmol·L-1 SP600125. Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence (ICC-IF) was used to detect Nestin expression levels;CCK-8 assay was used to measure cell proliferation rate;Annexin V/PI double staining was used to detect apoptosis rate;qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of MAPK8,JUN, Bcl-2,Fas,and Caspase-3;Western Blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of JNK,p-JNK,c-Jun, Fas, Cleaved-Caspase-3, and Bcl-2. Results (1) Compared with the blank control group, the medicated serum group showed significantly increased Nestin fluorescence intensity and cell proliferation rate (P<0.05, P<0.01), with no significant change in apoptosis rate (P>0.05); the OGD6 h/R12 h and OGD6 h/R24 h groups exhibited significantly decreased Nestin fluorescence intensity and cell proliferation rate (P<0.01),and significantly increased apoptosis rate (P<0.01);the OGD6 h/R12 h group showed significantly upregulated protein expression of p-JNK, c-Jun,Fas,and Cleaved-Caspase-3(P<0.01),significantly downregulated Bcl-2 protein expression (P<0.01), and significantly upregulated mRNA expression of MAPK8, JUN, Fas, and Caspase-3(P<0.01), along with significantly downregulated Bcl-2 mRNA expression (P<0.01).(2) Compared with the model group at the same time point,the OGD6 h/R12 h + medicated serum,OGD6 h/R12 h + inhibitor,and OGD6 h/R24 h + medicated serum groups showed significantly increased Nestin fluorescence intensity and cell proliferation rate (P<0.01), and significantly decreased apoptosis rate (P<0.01);the OGD6 h/R12 h + medicated serum and OGD6 h/R12 h + inhibitor groups exhibited significantly downregulated protein expression of p-JNK,c-Jun,Fas,and Cleaved-Caspase-3(P< 0.01),significantly upregulated Bcl-2 protein expression (P<0.01),and significantly downregulated mRNA expression of MAPK8,JUN,and Fas (P<0.01),along with significantly upregulated Bcl-2 mRNA expression (P<0.01);the OGD6 h/R12 h + medicated serum group showed significantly upregulated Caspase-3 mRNA expression (P<0.05), while the OGD6 h/R12 h + inhibitor group exhibited significantly downregulated Caspase-3 mRNA expression (P< 0.01).(3) Compared with either the OGD6 h/R12 h + medicated serum group or the OGD6 h/R12 h + inhibitor group, the OGD6 h/R12 h + combination group showed significantly increased Nestin fluorescence intensity and cell proliferation rate (P<0.01),and significantly decreased apoptosis rate (P<0.01);protein expression of p-JNK, c-Jun, Fas, and Cleaved-Caspase-3 was significantly downregulated (P<0.01), Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.01),and mRNA expression of MAPK8,JUN,Fas,and Caspase-3 was significantly downregulated (P<0.01), while Bcl-2 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.01).(4) Compared with the OGD6 h/R12 h group, the OGD6 h/R24 h group showed no significant differences in Nestin fluorescence intensity or cell proliferation rate (P>0.05);however,compared with the OGD6 h/R12 h + medicated serum group, the OGD6 h/R24 h + medicated serum group exhibited a significantly decreased cell proliferation rate (P<0.01). Conclusion Jiawei Tongluo Formula-containing serum exerts a protective effect against oxygen-glucose deprivation/ reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced injury in primary cortical neurons, and its mechanism may be associated with inhibiting the activation of the JNK signaling pathway and regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and genes.
