肢体缺血预处理减少大鼠全脑缺血再灌注诱导的海马CA1区锥体神经元凋亡

探探讨肢体缺血预处理(limb ischemic preconditioning,LIP)对大鼠全脑缺血再灌注后海马CA1区锥体细胞凋亡的影响。46只大鼠椎动脉凝闭后分为假手术组、肢体缺血组、脑缺血组、LIP组。重复夹闭大鼠双侧股动脉3次(每次10min,间隔10min)作为LIP,之后立即夹闭双侧颈总动脉进行全脑缺血8min后再灌注。DNA凝胶电泳、TUNEL和吖啶橙/溴乙锭(AO/EB)双染技术从生化和形态学方面观察海马神经元凋亡的情况。凝胶电泳显示,脑缺血组出现了凋亡特征性DNA梯状条带,而LIP组无上述条带出现。与脑缺血组比较,LIP可明显减少海马CAI区TUNEL阳性神经元数(17.8±5.8vs 69.8±12,P<0.01)。AO/EB染色也显示LIP可明显减少脑缺血再灌注引起的神经元凋亡。以上结果提示,LIP可抑制脑缺血再灌注后海马神经元的凋亡,进而减轻脑缺血再灌注损伤,提供脑保护作用。     

大鼠局灶性脑缺血后不同时间点磷酸化Rb蛋白与凋亡神经元的共定位研究

目的探讨大鼠局灶性脑缺血后磷酸化Rb蛋白(p-Rb,ser 795)的表达定位与神经元凋亡的时空关系。方法制备大鼠大脑中动脉梗塞(MCAO)模型,分为假手术对照组、缺血1h再灌注12h,1d,3d,7d组。利用TUNEL法检测缺血周边区细胞凋亡情况;TUNEL与p-Rb荧光双标观察神经元凋亡与p-Rb表达、定位的关系。结果缺血半暗带内大部分TUNEL阳性细胞为神经元;大鼠MCAO再灌注12h和1d,TUNEL与p-Rb分别以重叠和镶嵌的方式共定位;再灌注3d,7d发生p-Rb核浆转移的神经元与TUNEL染色细胞仍然分别维持在高水平,但是两者却没有明显的共定位关系。结论 p-Rb可能参与短暂局灶脑缺血后神经元早期凋亡过程,间接或者不参与神经元晚期凋亡过程。

Damage to Neurons and Oligodendrocytes in the Hippocampal CA1 Sector after Transient Focal Ischemia in Rats

Focal brain lesions such as transient focal cerebral ischemia can lead to neuronal damage in remote areas, including the ipsilateral substantia nigra and hippocampus, as well as in the ischemic core. In this study, we investigated acute changes in the ipsilateral hippocampus from 1 up to 7 days after 90 min of transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats, using anti-NeuN (neuronal nuclei), anti-Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), anti-Mn-SOD, anti-neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), anti-inducible NOS (iNOS), anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), anti-ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1(Iba 1) and anti-2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) antibodies. In our western blot and histochemical analyses, present results show that transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats can cause a severe and acute damage of neurons and oligodendrocytes in the ipsilateral hippocampal CA1 sector. The present findings also demonstrate that the expression of iNOS produced by Iba 1-immunopositive microglia precedes the damage of neurons and oligodendrocytes in the ipsilateral hippocampal CA1 sector after transient focal cerebral ischemia. In contrast, our results suggest that increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during reperfusion cannot lead to damage of neurons and oligodendrocytes in the ipsilateral hippocampal CA1 sector after transient focal cerebral ischemia, because of an insufficient expression of Cu/Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD. Our double-labeled immunohistochemical study demonstrates that the overexpression of iNOS produced by Iba 1-immunopositive microglia may play a pivotal role in the damage of neurons and oligodendrocytes in the ipsilateral hippocampal CA1 sector at an acute stage after transient focal cerebral ischemia.     

The Involvement of Upregulation and Translocation of Phospho-Rb in Early Neuronal Apoptosis Following Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Rats

The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal and spatial relationship between phospho-Rb (ser 795) and neuronal apoptotic death in rats subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia. We found increased phosphorylation of Rb and translocation from neuronal nucleus to cytoplasm in the penumbra zone at 12 h, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion, compared with sham-operated controls. At 12 h and 1 day, phospho-Rb appeared to be colocalizated with TUNEL staining in neurons, but staining was not colocalizated at 3 days and 7 days. These results demonstrated that cytoplasmic translocation of phospho-Rb from nucleus of neurons occurs in potential apoptotic neurons in the early stages of ischemia/reperfusion, suggesting that the Rb pathway may only be involved in early neuronal apoptosis and may be not an apoptotic signal in the late stages of transient cerebral ischemia.

Apelin-13 Inhibits Apoptosis of Cortical Neurons Following Brain Ischemic Reperfusion Injury in a Transient Model of Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Stroke is the third leading cause of death world-wide, affecting 15 million people annually. Diminished blood supply to the brain cells is the main cause of damage following stroke. When focal ischemia occurs, the core of brain tissue influenced by reduced blood supply undergoes necrotic cell death. The adipocytokine Apelin is a peptide that was isolated from a bovine stomach for the first time. This peptide and its receptor are abundantly expressed in the nervous and cardiovascular systems. According to previous studies, Apelin-13 protects cardiomyocytes from ischemic injury and apoptosis. In addition, this peptide has neuroprotective effect on hippocampal and cultured mouse cortical neurons against NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity as well as cortical neurons from ischemic injury. The present study was conducted to determine whether Apelin-13 inhibits apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra in transient focal cerebral ischemia. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced in male Wistar rats by 60 min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using a filament method, followed by 23-h reperfusion. Saline as a vehicle and Apelin-13 at doses of 50 and 100 μg were injected intracerebro-ventriculary (ICV) at the beginning of ischemia. Apoptosis and neurological dysfunction were assessed 24-h after MCAO. Our results indicated that administration of Apelin-13 at doses of 50 and 100 μg ICV markedly reduced apoptosis by decreasing positive TUNEL cells (P < 0.001). In addition, Apelin-13 at doses of 100 μg significantly change neurological dysfunction (P < 0.05). Our findings demonstrate that treatment by Apelin-13 exerts its protective effects in ischemic models via blocking programmed cell-death. We suggest that Apelin-13 might be a promising therapeutic target for stroke, although more researches are necessary to take into account the potential therapeutic effects of Apelin-13 in stroke patients.     

细胞周期抑制剂对大鼠局灶性脑缺血后神经元的保护作用

目的通过观察选择性细胞周期抑制剂olomoucine对局灶性脑缺血边缘区神经元凋亡的影响,以探讨细胞周期调控与神经元细胞凋亡的关系。方法建立光化学法诱导大鼠局灶性脑缺血模型,随机分为脑缺血组(对照组和干预组)和假手术组,采用HE染色显示梗死灶并测定其面积;应用免疫荧光化学法检测梗死灶周围神经元核心抗原(NeuN)的表达及通过TUNEL方法检测神经元凋亡;免疫印迹(Western blot)观察损伤侧皮层NeuN、周期素蛋白A(cyclin A)和周期素蛋白B1(cyclin B1)蛋白的表达。结果缺血后3d对照组梗死灶面积占脑片面积百分比值的平均值明显大于干预组(P<0.05);缺血后缺血边缘区NeuN表达减弱,对照组NeuN表达明显弱于干预组(P<0.05);缺血后梗死灶周围可见大量TUNEL阳性染色细胞,而且对照组数量明显多于干预组(P<0.05);干预组大鼠NeuN(TUNAL双标阳性表达明显弱于对照组大鼠(P<0.05);NeuN的蛋白量的表达,干预组较对照组明显增加(P<0.05),而对照组cyclin A和cyclin B1蛋白量的表达明显高于干预组(P<0.05)。结论通过对细胞周期的调控,可减少神经元凋亡和脑梗死体积,从而为缺血性脑损伤后的神经元提供一个保护作用。     

Aminoguanidine Administration Ameliorates Hippocampal Damage After Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Rat

The effects of a selective inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor aminoguanidine (AG) on neuronal cells survival in hippocampal CA1 region after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were examined. Transient focal cerebral ischemia was induced in rats by 60 or 90 min of MCAO, followed by 7 days of reperfusion. AG treatment (150 mg/kg i.p.) significantly reduced total infarct volumes: by 70% after 90 min MCAO and by 95% after 60 min MCAO, compared with saline-treated ischemic group. The number of degenerating neurons in hippocampal CA1 region was also markedly lower in aminoguanidine-treated ischemic groups compared to ischemic groups without AG-treatment. The number of iNOS-positive cells significantly increased in the hippocampal CA1 region of ischemic animals, whereas it was reduced in AG-treated rats. Our findings demonstrate that aminoguanidine decreases ischemic brain damage and improves neurological recovery after transient focal ischemia induced by MCAO.     

大鼠脑缺血再灌注后血清中血管内皮生长因子与神经元凋亡的研究

Neuroprotective effects of hydroxyethylpuerarin against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats

Our present study was performed to investigate whether hydroxyethylpuerarin (HEP) has a neuroprotective effect on brain injury after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in adult male Wistar rats. Animals were subjected to one hour of middle cerebral artery occlusion and 48 hours of reperfusion with the pretreatment of drugs (HEP 15, 30, 60 mg/ kg or nimodipine 0.4 mg/kg i.v.) or vehicle. The behavioral tests were used to evaluate the damage to central nervous system. The percentage of brain infarct area was assessed in the brain slices stained with 2% solution of 2, 3, 5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC). The pathologic histological changes were observed by H&E staining and the occurrence of apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The results showed that pretreatment with HEP at doses of 15, 30, 60 mg/kg exhibited significant neuroprotective effects on rats against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by markedly decreasing neurological deficit scores and the percentage of infarct area, reducing necrosis and apoptosis of neurons. All these findings suggest that HEP might provide neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury probably through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory property.     

Early ischemic preconditioning against focal transient and permanent brain ischemia in rats: role of collateral circulation

We hypothesize that early ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can afford protection against focal brief and prolonged cerebral ischemia with subsequent reperfusion as well as permanent brain ischemia in rats by amelioration of regional cerebral blood flow. Adult male Wistar rats (n=97) were subjected to transient (30 and 60 minutes) and permanent middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. IPC protocol consisted of two episodes of 5-min common carotid artery occlusion + 5-min reperfusion prior to test ischemia either followed by 48 hours of reperfusion or not. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride and Evans blue were used for delineation of infarct size and anatomical area at risk (comprises ischemic penumbra and ischemic core), respectively. Blood flow in the MCA vascular bed was measured with use of Doppler ultrasound. The IPC resulted in significant infarct size limitation in both transient and permanent MCA occlusion. Importantly, IPC caused significant reduction of area at risk after 30 min of focal ischemia as compared to controls [med(min-max) 11.4% (3.59-2 0.35%) vs. 2.47% (0.8-9.31%), p = 0.018] but it failed to influence area at risk after 5 min of ischemia [med(min-max) 7.61% (6.32-10.87%) vs. 8.2% (4.87-9.65%), p > 0.05]. No differences in blood flow were found between IPC and control groups using Doppler ultrasound. This is suggestive of the fact that IPC does not really influence blood flow in the large cerebral arteries such as MCA but it might have some effect on smaller arteries. It seems that, along with well established cytoprotective effects of IPC, IPC-mediated reduction of area at risk by means of improvement in local cerebral blood flow may contribute to infarct size limitation after focal transient and permanent brain ischemia in rats.

目的比较研究大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注后神经元和星形胶质细胞的凋亡规律。方法建立大鼠大脑中动脉阻塞(middle cerebral artery occlusion,MCAO)再灌注模型,在缺血再灌注后1、3、7、14d断头取脑,应用流式细胞分选技术和原位末端标记法分别检测各组MCAO后不同时期神经元和星形胶质细胞凋亡情况。结果局灶性脑缺血再灌注后,海马区星形胶质细胞凋亡数量超过神经元,其凋亡以再灌注3d最为显著,而神经元则以7d最为显著;而皮层区神经元凋亡数量超过星形胶质细胞,两种细胞凋亡均在再灌注后7d达高峰。结论脑缺血再灌注后,皮层和海马区的神经元及星形胶质细胞均可发生凋亡,海马区星形胶质细胞比皮层区更易凋亡,而皮层区神经元比海马区更易凋亡。     

Changes in cerebral free fatty acids and triacylglycerols in focal cerebral ischemia

1. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced in anesthetized rats by occluding the stem of the proximal middle cerebral artery. 2. The levels of free fatty acids, such as stearic and arachidonic acids, in the ischemic cerebral cortex increased progressively until 60 min after occlusion, but thereafter they decreased rapidly. 3. In contrast to the time-dependent changes in free fatty acids, the levels of triacylglycerol (TAG) in the ischemic cerebral cortex continued to increase for 120 min after occlusion. Increases in TAG-palmitate, -stearate and -arachidonate accounted for the increase in the triacylglycerol level. 4. The pattern of the lipid changes in focal cerebral ischemia differs from those reported in bilateral diffuse cerebral ischemia induced by arterial occlusion or in decapitation ischemia.

The Akt/GSK-3β pathway mediates flurbiprofen-induced neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

Apoptosis is one of the major mechanisms of cell death during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury. Flurbiprofen has been shown to reduce cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in both focal and global cerebral ischemia models, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between the neuroprotective effect of flurbiprofen and the apoptosis inhibiting signaling pathways, in particularly the Akt/GSK-3β pathway. A focal cerebral ischemia rat model was subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 120 min and then treated with flurbiprofen at the onset of reperfusion. The infarct volume and the neurological deficit scores were evaluated at 24 h after reperfusion. Cell apoptosis, apoptosis-related proteins and the levels of p-Akt and p-GSK-3β in ischemic penumbra were measured using TUNEL and western blot. The results showed that administration of flurbiprofen at the doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg significantly attenuated brain ischemia/reperfusion injury, as shown by a reduction in the infarct volume, neurological deficit scores and cell apoptosis. Moreover, flurbiprofen not only inhibited the expression of Bax protein and p-GSK-3β, but also increased the expression of Bcl-2 protein, the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax as well as the P-Akt level. Taken together, these results suggest that flurbiprofen protects the brain from ischemia/reperfusion injury by reducing apoptosis and this neuroprotective effect may be partly due to the activation of Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway.
