unassigned: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of modified Dioscorea pills (MDP) on microcirculatory remodeling in the hippocampus of rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) through the angiopoietin (Ang)/tyrosine kinase receptor tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin-like and EGF-like domains (Ang receptor) 2 (Tie-2) signaling pathways, which may underlie the cognitive improvement observed in CCH rats. unassigned: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats raised under specific pathogen-free conditions were randomly divided into three groups: control group (10 rats), model group (15 rats), and MDP group (15 rats). The rats in the model group and MDP group underwent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion using the 2-vessel occlusion (2-VO) method to induce CCH. Rats in the control group underwent the same surgical procedures as those in the model group, except for ligation and occlusion of the carotid arteries. After 1 week of 2-VO, rats in the MDP group were administered MDP condensed decoction intragastrically at a dose of 1?ml/100?g body weight (prepared by the Preparation Room of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) for 45 days, while rats in the other two groups received normal saline intragastrically with the same dose and duration as the MDP group. After the intervention, all rats were euthanized, and brain perfusion was performed to obtain the hippocampal tissue for analysis. Immunohistochemical staining for CD43 was performed to assess microvessel density (MVD); western blot and the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to analyze the expression of proteins and genes in angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), Tie-2, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins and genes in the hippocampal tissue and compute the Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio. unassigned: MDP treatment reduced neuronal loss and promoted restoration of the damaged hippocampal structure in CCH rats. The model group showed significantly higher MVD (14.93 ± 1.92) compared to the control group (5.78 ± 1.65) ( < 0.01), whereas MDP treatment further increased MVD (21.19 ± 2.62). Western blot and RT-PCR analysis revealed that CCH significantly increased the expression of Ang-1, Ang-2, Tie-2, and VEGF proteins and genes, while MDP treatment further significantly upregulated the expression of these proteins and genes. In addition, MDP significantly elevated the gene and protein expression of the Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio compared to the control group ( = 0.041, = 0.029). unassigned: CCH induces microvascular neogenesis in the hippocampus, and MDP promotes angiogenesis and microcirculation remodeling in CCH rats via the Ang/Tie signaling pathway, which may be an important mechanism for its restorative effects on hippocampal perfusion and improvement of cognitive function in CCH rats.
