To investigate the effects of Liuwei Dihuang Pills(LWDH) on hormone levels,oxidative stress,and granulosa cell autophagy in a mouse model of premature ovarian failure(POF),and to explore its potential mechanisms.Methods:POF in mice was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide(CTX).After successful modeling,the mice were divided into the model group,low-dose LWDH group,high-dose LWDH group,estradiol valerate group,pathway inhibitor group(NVP-BEZ235),and pathway inhibitor+high-dose LWDH group.Mice were administered by gavage for 28 days.Hormones and oxidation-related markers in serum were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),including anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH),estradiol(E2),luteinizing hormone(LH),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),and malondialdehyde(MDA).After euthanizing the mice,the ovaries were weighed to calculate the ovarian index.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to assess pathological changes in ovarian tissues.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the content of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3) in ovarian tissues,and autophagosome counts were assessed by transmission electron microscopy to evaluate autophagy.Western blot and qPCR were performed to detect the expression of autophagy-related and signaling pathway-related proteins and genes.Results:Compared to the model group,the high-dose LWDH group showed significant increases in E2,AMH,SOD,and GSH-Px(P<0.05),and significant decreases in FSH,LH,and MDA(P<0.05).The ovarian index was significantly increased(P<0.05),the number of corpora lutea was increased,and the number of atretic follicles was reduced(P<0.05).Autophagosome counts were significantly decreased,and the autophagy marker LC3 was reduced,while sequestosome 1(P62),phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/total phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(p-PI3K/PI3K),and phosphorylated protein kinase B/total protein kinase B(p-AKT/AKT) were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:LWDH protect the ovaries from CTX-induced ovarian damage and oxidative stress.The possible mechanism of action involves the activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway,which inhibits excessive autophagy in granulosa cells and improves ovarian function.
