Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Xiande’an Pills (XAP) combined with sodium valproate (VPA) on post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) through in vivo and in vitro studeies. Methods (1) Animal experiment:A post-ischemic stroke epilepsy model was established in rats using unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion combined with common carotid artery ligation (MCA/CCAo). Forty successfully modeled epileptic rats were randomly divided into the model group,VPA group,XAP group,and XAP+VPA combination group. Ten additional rats underwent sham surgery (vessel exposure only followed by wound closure) as the sham group. After 4 weeks of administration,seizure frequency and duration were recorded. Hippocampal histopathology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining,Nissl bodies were assessed by Nissl staining,and levels of glutamate (Glu),γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in the brain were measured. mRNA and protein expression of TNF- α, TNF receptor 1(TNFR1), nuclear factor- κB (NF-κB) p65,phosphorylated p65(p-p65),cyclooxygenase-2(Cox2),matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9),and c-Fos in hippocampal tissue were detected by RT-qPCR and Western Blot.(2) Cell experiment: RAW264.7 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and divided into blank control,lipopolysaccharide (LPS),VPA, XAP,and XAP+VPA combination groups. After 6 hours of incubation,LPS was added for 24 hours. mRNA and protein expression of IL-1β,TNF-α,TNFR1,NF-κB p65,p-p65,Cox2,and MMP9 in RAW264.7 cells were detected by RT-qPCR and Western Blot. Results(1) Animal experiment:Compared with the sham group, the model group showed significantly increased seizure frequency and duration (P<0.01),disorganized pyramidal neuron arrangement,cell atrophy,and deepened staining in the hippocampal CA1 region,significantly reduced Nissl body count,decreased GABA content in serum and brain,increased Glu content,Glu/GABA ratio,and IL-1β and TNF-α levels (P<0.01),upregulated hippocampal mRNA expression of TNF-α,TNFR1,NF-κB p65,Cox2,MMP9 and c-Fos (P<0.01),and increased protein expression of TNF-α,TNFR1,p-p65,Cox2 and MMP9(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The XAP+VPA groups exhibited significantly reduced seizure frequency and duration, demonstrated superior improvements in neuronal arrangement regularity, cell body contour clarity, uniform nuclear staining,and Nissl body distribution,increased GABA content brain,decreased Glu content, Glu/GABA ratio,and IL-1β and TNF-α levels,downregulated hippocampal mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, TNFR1,NF-κB p65,Cox2,MMP9 and c-Fos,and decreased protein expression levelsof TNF-α,TNFR1, p-p65,Cox2 and MMP9,the differences being statistically significant compared with the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the curative effects were superior to the XAP group or VPA group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).(2)Cell experiment:After LPS stimulation,all treatment groups showed decreased mRNA expression of IL-1β,Cox2, and MMP9,and decreased protein expression of TNF-α,p-p65,Cox2,and MMP9 compared to the LPS group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The VPA and XAP+VPA groups exhibited decreased TNF-α mRNA expression (P<0.05) and TNFR1 protein expression (P<0.01) compared to the LPS group. The XAP+VPA group showed lower MMP9 mRNA and p-p65 protein expression than the VPA group (P<0.01), and lower TNF- α and TNFR1 protein expression than the XAP group (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of XAP and VPA alleviates seizures, neuroinflammatory responses in rats with post-stroke epilepsy,potentially through inhibition of the TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway.
