Abstract
    [Objective] To know the effects of different acupuncture prescription on calcineurin (CaN) mRNA expression in senescence accelerated mouse P10 brain.[Method] Probe was labeled withα-32P-dCTP,mRNA expression was semiquantitatively analyzed with Northern blotting.The 8-month SAMP10 (model group) were respectively punctured with Xingnaokaiqiao (XNKQ) acupuncture method (reducing excess group) and reinforcing liver and kidney acupuncture method (reinforcing deficiency group).The points of XNKQ acupuncture method were Renzhong (DU 26) and Neiguan (PC 6),and that of reinforcing liver and kidney acupuncture method were Ganshu (BL 18) and Shenshu (BL 23).[Result] Compared with normal group,expression level of CaN mRNA decreased.XNKQ acupuncture method could increase CaN mRNA expression to approach normal level (P<0.05),and there was increase tendency in reinforcing liver and kidney acupuncture method (P>0.05).Therefore,XNKQ acupuncture method surpass reinforcing liver and kidney acupuncture method.[Conclusion] CaN mRNA expression decrease might be one of mechanisms in brain aging,acupuncture can increase CaN mRNA expression with prescription specificity.XNKQ acupuncture method might be potential tactic in treating brain aging.
