Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and compatibility mechanism of Wumei Wan on diabetic gastroparesis(DGP)mice. Methods Sixty-nine C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group(12 mice)and model group(57 mice). The DGP model was constructed by 60% high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ). After successful modeling,the mice in the model group were randomly divided into model group,Wumei Wan whole prescription group,Wumei Wan sour medicine group,Wumei Wan bitter medicine group,Wumei Wan sweet medicine group and Wumei Wan pungent medicine group,with nine mice in each group. After 28 days of treatment,the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of mice were measured. The pathological changes of gastric antrum were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining. The fasting blood glucose(FBS)of mice was detected by blood glucose meter. The levels of triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were detected by colorimetry. The contents of gastrin (GAS), motilin (MTL)and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP)in gastric antrum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Western Blot was used to detect the expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap-1),nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf-2),NAD(P) H:quinone oxidoreductase 1(Nqo-1)and superoxide dismutase 1(Sod-1)in gastric antrum tissue. Results (1)Compared with the normal group,the levels of serum FBS,TG,TC and LDL-C in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001);compared with the model group,the blood glucose level of the whole prescription group,the sour medicine group and the bitter medicine group was decreased significantly at the end of the third and fourth week(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001),the serum TG,TC and LDL-C levels of the whole prescription group were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),the serum TC level of the sour medicine group, the bitter medicine group,the sweet medicine group and the pungent medicine group was significantly decreased(P<0.05),and only the LDL-C level of the sour medicine group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).(2)Compared with the normal group,the glandular cells in the gastric antrum mucosa and submucosa of the model group were disordered;compared with the model group,the pathological damage of gastric antrum tissue in Wumei Wan whole prescription group was significantly improved,the recovery effect of gastric antrum tissue damage in DGP mice in the sour medicine group and the bitter medicine group was superior to that in the sweet medicine group and the pungent medicine group.(3)Compared with the normal group,the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of the model group were decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.001);compared with the model group,the gastric emptying rate of the whole prescription group,the sour medicine group and the bitter medicine group was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.001), and the intestinal propulsion rate of the whole prescription group,the sour medicine group,the bitter medicine group,the sweet medicine group and the pungent medicine group was significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001). (4)Compared with the normal group,the content of VIP in the gastric antrum tissue of the model group was significantly increased(P<0.01),and the contents of GAS and MTL were significantly decreased(P<0.01 or P<0.001). Compared with the model group,the content of GAS in Wumei Wan whole prescription group,the sour medicine group,the bitter medicine group and the sweet medicine group was significantly increased(P<0.01 or P<0.001),the content of MTL in the whole prescription group and the bitter medicine group was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the content of VIP in gastric antrum tissue of mice in Wumei Wan whole prescription group,sour medicine group,bitter medicine group and sweet medicine group was significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001).(5)Compared with the normal group,the expression level of Keap-1 in the gastric antrum tissue of the model group was increased(P<0.05),and the expressions of Nrf-2,Nqo-1 and Sod-1 were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.001). Compared with the model group,the expression level of Keap-1 protein in the whole prescription group and the bitter medicine group was significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.001),and the expression levels of Nrf-2,Nqo-1 and Sod-1 in the whole prescription group,the sour medicine group and the bitter medicine group were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.001). Conclusion Wumei Wan can effectively regulate glucose and lipid metabolism,improve gastric antrum injury and promote gastrointestinal motility in DGP mice. The efficacy of the whole prescription is superior to that of each disassembled prescription. The mechanism may be related to the synergistic compatibility of sour medicine,bitter medicine,sweet medicine and pungent medicine,and mainly through sour medicine and bitter medicine regulating Nrf-2/Keap-1 pathway further to improve oxidative stress injury.
