Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) plays a role in the generation of post-ischemic edema. Pharmacological modulation of AQP4 function may thus provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of stroke, tumor-associated edema, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and other disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) associated with altered brain water balance. Edaravone, a free radical scavenger, is used for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in Japan. In this study, edaravone significantly reduced the infarct area and improved the neurological deficit scores at 24 h after reperfusion in a rat transient focal ischemia model. Furthermore, edaravone markedly reduced AQP4 immunoreactivity and protein levels in the cerebral infarct area. In light of observations that edaravone specifically inhibited AQP4 in a rat transient focal ischemia model, we propose that edaravone might reduce cerebral edema through the inhibition of AQP4 expression following cerebral infarction. 相似文献

Activated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cause cardiomyocyte injury during acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APT). However, the functional consequences of this alteration are not known. We examined whether doxycycline (a MMP inhibitor) improves right ventricle function and the cardiac responses to dobutamine during APT. APT was induced with autologous blood clots (350 mg/kg) in anaesthetized male lambs pre‐treated with doxycycline (Doxy, 10 mg/kg/day, intravenously) or saline. Non‐embolized control lambs received doxycycline pre‐treatment or saline. The responses to intravenous dobutamine (Dob, 1, 5, 10 μg/kg/min.) or saline infusions at 30 and 120 min. after APT induction were evaluated by echocardiography. APT increased mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance index by ~185%. Doxycycline partially prevented APT‐induced pulmonary hypertension (P < 0.05). RV diameter increased in the APT group (from 10.7 ± 0.8 to 18.3 ± 1.6 mm, P < 0.05), but not in the Doxy+APT group (from 13.3 ± 0.9 to 14.4 ± 1.0 mm, P > 0.05). RV dysfunction on stress echocardiography was observed in embolized lambs (APT+Dob group) but not in embolized animals pre‐treated with doxycycline (Doxy+APT+Dob). APT increased MMP‐9 activity, oxidative stress and gelatinolytic activity in the RV. Although doxycycline had no effects on RV MMP‐9 activity, it prevented the increases in RV oxidative stress and gelatinolytic activity (P < 0.05). APT increased serum cardiac troponin I concentrations (P < 0.05), doxycycline partially prevented this alteration (P < 0.05). We found evidence to support that doxycycline prevents RV dysfunction and improves the cardiac responses to dobutamine during APT. 相似文献

Impaired cerebral energy metabolism may be a major contributor to the secondary injury cascade that occurs following traumatic brain injury (TBI). To estimate the cortical energy metabolic state following mild and severe controlled cortical contusion (CCC) TBI in rats, ipsi-and contralateral cortical tissues were frozen in situ at 15 and 40 min post-injury and adenylate (ATP, ADP, AMP) levels were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the energy charge (EC) was calculated. At 15 min post-injury, mildly brain-injured animals showed a 43% decrease in cortical ATP levels and a 2.4-fold increase in AMP levels (P < 0.05), and there was a significant reduction of the ipsilateral cortical EC when compared to sham-injured animals (P < 0.05). At 40 min post-injury, the ipsilateral adenylate levels and EC had recovered to the values observed in the sham-injury group. In the severe CCC group, there was a 51% decrease in ipsilateral cortical ATP levels and a 5.3-fold increase in AMP levels with a significant reduction of cortical EC at 15 min post-injury (P < 0.05). At 40 min post-injury, a 2.6-fold ipsilateral increase in AMP levels and an 11% and 44% decrease in EC and ATP levels, respectively, remained (P < 0.05). A 37–38% reduction of the total adenylate pool was observed ipsilaterally in both CCC severity groups at the early time-point, and a 19% and 28% decrease remained in the mild and severe CCC groups, respectively, at 40 min post-injury. Significant contralateral ATP and EC changes were only observed in the severe CCC group at 40 min post-injury (P < 0.05). The energy-requiring secondary injury cascades that occur early post-injury do not challenge the brain tissue to the extent of ATP depletion and may provide a window of opportunity for therapeutic intervention. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate whether Actovegin, which is a deproteinized ultrafiltrate derived from calf blood, demonstrates neuroprotective effects in a rat model of transient global cerebral ischaemia. Forty Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to four‐vessel occlusion to induce transient global cerebral ischaemia followed by either saline or Actovegin treatment. Sham operations were performed on 15 rats. Actovegin (200 mg/kg) or saline was administered 6 hrs after carotid artery occlusion and then daily until Day 40. Learning and memory were evaluated using the Morris water maze test over two different 5‐day periods, and grip strength testing was also performed to control for potential motor impairments. Rat brains were harvested for histological analysis on Day 68. In comparison to controls, Actovegin‐treated rats exhibited a decreased latency to reach the hidden platform on the second learning trial of water maze testing (46.82 ± 6.18 versus 27.64 ± 4.53 sec., P < 0.05; 38.3 ± 8.23 versus 13.37 ± 2.73 sec., P < 0.01 for the first and second 5‐day testing periods, respectively). In addition, Actovegin‐treated rats spent more time in the platform quadrant than saline‐treated rats during memory trials (P < 0.05). No differences in grip strength were detected. Histological analyses demonstrated increased cell survival in the CA1 region of the hippocampus following Actovegin treatment (left hemisphere, 166 ± 50 versus 332 ± 27 cells, P < 0.05; right hemisphere, 170 ± 45 versus 307 ± 28 cells, P < 0.05, in saline‐ versus Actovegin‐treated rats, respectively). In rats, Actovegin treatment improves spatial learning and memory following cerebral ischaemia, which may be related to hippocampal CA1 neuroprotection. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated the increased amyloid precursor protein (APP) immunoreactivity around the site of damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the function of APP after TBI has not been evaluated. In this study, we investigated the effects of direct infusion of an anti-APP antibody into the damaged brain region on cerebral function and morphological changes following TBI in rats. Three days after TBI, there were many TUNEL-positive neurons and astrocytes around the damaged region and a significantly greater number of TUNEL-positive cells in the PBS group compared with the anti-APP group found. Seven days after TBI, there were significantly a greater number of large glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive cells, long elongated projections, and microtubule-associated protein-2-positive cells around the damaged region in the anti-APP group compared with the PBS group found. Seven days after TBI, the region of brain damage was significantly smaller and the time to arrival at a platform was significantly shorter in the anti-APP group compared with the PBS group. Furthermore, after TBI in the anti-APP group, the time to arrival at the platform recovered to that observed in uninjured sham operation group rats. These data suggest that the overproduction of APP after TBI inhibits astrocyte activity and reduces neural cell survival around the damaged brain region, which speculatively may be related to the induction of Alzheimer disease-type dementia after TBI. 相似文献

There is evidence that electromagnetic stimulation may accelerate the healing of tissue damage following ischemia. We undertook this study to investigate the effects of low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) exposure on cerebral injury in a rabbit model of transient focal ischemia (2 h occlusion followed by 4 h of reperfusion). PEMF exposure (280 V, 75 Hz, IGEA Stimulator) was initiated 10 min after the onset of ischemia and continued throughout reperfusion (six exposed, six controls). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histology were used to measure the degree of ischemic injury. Exposure to pulsed electromagnetic field attenuated cortical ischemic edema on MRI at the most anterior coronal level by 65% (P < 0.001). On histologic examination, PEMF exposure reduced ischemic neuronal damage in this same cortical area by 69% (P < 0.01) and by 43% (P < 0.05) in the striatum. Preliminary data suggest that exposure to a PEMF of short duration may have implications for the treatment of acute stroke. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Objective To explore the expression of HIF-1α, neuronal apoptosis and the influence of traditional Chinese medicine Sanqi on hematoma after brain injury in rats. Methods Ninety SD rats were divided into 3 groups randomly: blank control group, traumatic brain injury (TBI) group and Sanqi intervention group, and they were decapitated after brain injury at different time points: 6 h, 1 d, 2 d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d. The model of cerebral hemorrhage was made by autologous non-coagulation in stereotactic locator, the expression of HIF-1α and TUNEL-positive cells (apoptotic cells) in the perihematomal area was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results In blank control group, a small amount of HIF-1α was expressed and apoptotic cells were observed. The expression of HIF-1α was up-regulated in the brain injury group from 6 h, and the apoptotic cells increased in abundance. The peak of HIF-1α was reached at 3 d, then decreased, and remained at the high level on the 7 d. Compared with blank control group, the TBI group was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The Chinese medicine Sanqi intervention group significantly up-regulated HIF-1α’expression and decreased neuronal apoptosis, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion HIF-1α’s expression was up-regulated around the hematoma after brain injury, and the apoptosis of nerve cells was obviously increased. The traditional Chinese medicine Sanqi can significantly increase the expression of HIF-1α, reduce the apoptosis around the hematoma, and thus play a neuroprotective role. 相似文献

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Synbiotic2000? Forte on the intestinal motility and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) mouse model. Kunming mice were randomly divided into sham operation group (S group), enteral nutrition group with TBI (E group), and Synbiotic2000? Forte group with TBI (P group). The contractile activity of the intestinal smooth muscle, densities and ultrastructure of the ICC, kit protein concentration, weight, and defecation of mice were monitored and analyzed. TBI markedly suppressed contractile activity of the intestinal smooth muscle (P < 0.01), which led to a reduction of defecation (P < 0.01) and weight (P < 0.01). However, application of Synbiotic2000? Forte significantly improved contractile activity of the small intestine (P < 0.01), which may be related to protective effects to the interstitial cells of Cajal, smooth muscle cells, and enteric neurons. TBI impaired ICC networks and densities (P < 0.01), events that were protected by the application of Synbiotic2000? Forte. Synbiotic2000? Forte may attenuate TBI-mediated inhibition of the kit protein pathway. Synbiotic2000? Forte may improve intestinal motility and protect the ICC in the TBI mouse. These findings provide a novel support for the application of Synbiotic2000? Forte in intestinal motility disturbance after TBI. 相似文献

Objectives and methods: Compared to age-matched healthy controls (n?=?55), patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (n?=?26) showed increased oxidative stress as indicated by a significantly increased percentage of oxidized coenzyme Q10 (%CoQ10) in total plasma coenzyme Q10, a significantly decreased level of plasma uric acid, and a significantly decreased percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids in total plasma free fatty acids (FFA). Therefore, the efficacy of edaravone, a radical scavenger, in these ALS patients was examined.Results and discussion: Among 26 ALS patients, 17 received edaravone (30?mg/day, one to four times a week) for at least 3 months, and 13 continued for 6 months. Changes in revised ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) were significantly smaller in these patients than in edaravone-untreated ALS patients (n?=?19). Edaravone administration significantly reduced excursions of more than one standard deviation from the mean for plasma FFA levels and the contents of palmitoleic and oleic acids, plasma markers of tissue oxidative damage, in the satisfactory progress group (ΔALSFRS-R?≥?0) as compared to the ingravescent group (ΔALSFRS-R?<??5). Edaravone treatment increased plasma uric acid, suggesting that it is an effective scavenger of peroxynitrite. However, edaravone administration did not decrease %CoQ10. Therefore, combined treatment with agents such as coenzyme Q10 may further reduce oxidative stress in ALS patients. 相似文献

Long-term alcohol consumption can cause oxidative stress and cytokines induction, which are associated with free radicals.
Quercetin, one of the most widely distributed flavonoids in plants, is a natural antioxidant. We investigated the hypothesis
that quercetin could prevent the ethanol-induced oxidative stress and decreases tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ
(INF-γ) as pro-inflammatory cytokines. Twenty-eight rats were randomly divided into control group (C), ethanol treatment group
(EtOH) (~1 ml/day, 80%; 2 g/kg body wt), intragastrically (i.g.), quercetin treatment group (Q), (100 mg/kg-body wt per 3 days)
i.g. and ethanol plus quercetin treatment group (EtOH + Q) (1 ml/day, 80% of ethanol and 100 mg/kg-body wt of quercetin per
3 days) i.g. for 30 days Plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels and protein carbonyl content were significantly
higher in the EtOH group than the C group (P < 0.01). On the other hand, TBARS level and protein carbonyl content in the EtOH + Q group was decreased significantly by
quercetin (P < 0.05, P < 0.01; respectively). While GSH levels in whole blood decreased in EtOH group compared to C group, they increased significantly
by quercetin (P < 0.05). Plasma ALT, TNF-α and IFN-γ levels increased significantly in the EtOH group compared to control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.01, respectively), but they decreased significantly in the EtOH + Q group in comparison with EtOH group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.01, respectively). Our results demonstrate that quercetin treatment may provide a protection as reflected by decreased
plasma TBARS, protein carbonyls, TNF-α, INF-γ and ALT levels against ethanol-induced oxidative damage. 相似文献

Ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is known to be a risk factor influencing both short and long-term graft function following transplantation. The pathophysiology of IR injury is suggested to involve elevated reactive oxygen species production resulting in oxidative damaged cellular macromolecules.The objective of this study was to evaluate oxidative damage following IR using an isolated organ perfusion model of the transplanted kidney, in order to determine a simple, preferably non-invasive biomarker for IR injury.Porcine kidneys were retrieved with 10 or 40 min warm ischaemic (WI) time and haemoperfused for 6 h on an isolated organ perfusion machine. ELISA was used to detect carbonyls, 8-isporostane and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, representing protein, lipid and DNA damage respectively in pre and post reperfusion samples of plasma, urine and biopsy material.Plasma carbonyl and 8-isporostane and were significantly increased in the 40 min group compared to pre-perfusion (0.96 ± 0.10 vs. 0.62 ± 0.06, P < 0.001 and 1.57(1.28–4.9) vs. 0.36(0.09–0.59), P < 0.05). The levels also correlated with creatinine clearance used to determine renal function (r = ? 0.6150, P < 0.01 and r = ? 0.7727, P < 0.01).The results of this study suggest both plasma carbonyl and 8-isporostane to be reliable biomarkers to predict the level IR injury. 相似文献

Edaravone protects against lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in rat 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a critical and triggering event in the development of distal organ dysfunction, frequently involving the lungs. Respiratory failure is a common cause of death and complications after intestinal I/R. In this study we investigated the effects of edaravone (3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one) on the prevention of lung injury induced by intestinal I/R in rats. Edaravone has been used for protection against I/R injury in patients with cerebral infarction. When rats were subjected to 180 min of intestinal ischemia, a high incidence of mortality was observed within 24 h. In this situation, intravenous administration of edaravone just before the start of reperfusion reduced the mortality in a dose-dependent manner. To examine the efficacy of edaravone on the lung injury induced by intestinal I/R in more detail, we performed 120 min of intestinal ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Edaravone treatment decreased the neutrophil infiltration, the lipid membrane peroxidation, and the expression of proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 mRNA in the lungs after intestinal I/R compared to the I/R-treated rat lungs without edaravone treatment. Histopathological analysis also indicated the effectiveness of edaravone. In conclusion, edaravone ameliorated the lung injury induced by intestinal I/R, resulting in a reduction in mortality. 相似文献

We compared the effects of early and late stage hypothermia treatment after spinal cord injury. Five groups each consisting
of seven rats were included in this study. In Group 1a (Clip applied-non-treatment group) and Group 1b (Clip applied-treated
group) the spinal cords were harvested 1 h after the injury. In Group 2a (clip applied, non-treated group) and Group 2b (clip
applied-treated group) the injured segments were harvested 24 h after injury. Group 3 was designed as the sham-operated group.
The significantly lower levels of TBARS and GSH-Px in Group 2a, as compared with Group 1b suggests that the hypothermia was
effective in the early stage of treatment (P < 0.05). In contrast, TBARS and GSH-Px levels were significantly increased at the 24 h timepoint following treatment (P < 0.05).Short-term systemic hypothermia reduces lipid peroxidation in the early stages after spinal cord injury. This beneficial
effect disappears 24 h following systemic hypothermic treatment. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is one of the major secondary injury mechanisms after traumatic brain injury (TBI). 2-[[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)oxidoimino]-methyl]-3,5,6-trimethylpyrazine (TBN), a derivative of the clinically used anti-stroke drug tetramethylpyrazine armed with a powerful free radical-scavenging nitrone moiety, has been demonstrated promising therapeutic efficacy in ischemic stroke and Parkinson’s models. The present study aims to investigate the effects of TBN on behavioral function and neuroprotection in rats subjected to TBI. TBN (90 mg/kg) was administered twice daily for 7 days by intravenous injection following TBI. TBN improved neuronal behavior functions after brain injury, including rotarod test and adhesive paper removal test. Compared with the TBI model group, TBN treatment significantly protected NeuN-positive neurons, while decreased glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells. The number of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)-positive and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)-positive cells around the damaged area after TBI were significantly decreased in the TBN treatment group. In addition, TBN effectively reversed the altered expression of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase 3, and the down-regulation of nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf-2) and hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) proteins expression stimulated by TBI. In conclusion, TBN improves neurobehavioral functions and protects neurons against TBI. This protective effect may be achieved by anti-neuronal apoptosis, alleviating oxidative stress damage and up-regulating Nrf-2 and HO-1 expression. 相似文献

本研究旨在探讨依达拉奉(edaravone,ED)在脑缺血再灌注损伤中发挥神经元保护作用与Nrf2信号分子间的关系。体内实验利用脑内脑中动脉闭塞(middle cerebral artery occlusion model,MCAO)建立SD大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤模型,体外实验采用过氧化氢(H2O2)损伤PC12细胞建立氧化应激模型。通过TTC染色、HE染色、Nissl染色来检测大脑的病理状态。测定活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)、丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)含量、超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)活性,来反映氧化应激水平。此外,通过Hoechst 33342染色和线粒体膜电位(mitochondrial membrane potential,MTP)测定,探究细胞水平的损伤。采用免疫组织化学和蛋白质印记测定Nrf2的表达。构建Nrf2敲除的PC12细胞系,证实Nrf2信号分子抑制氧化应激损伤的作用。结果提示,经依达拉奉给药后,在动物体内水平,TTC染色证实,脑缺血再灌注损伤(cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury,CIRI)大鼠的脑组织梗死体积减小(P<0.001),ROS和MDA水平下降(P<0.01),SOD活性上升(P<0.01);在细胞水平,凋亡细胞减少(P<0.05),MTP上升(P<0.01),ROS和MDA水平下降,SOD活性上升(P<0.01);在分子水平,免疫组化和Western印迹结果均提示,Nrf2蛋白质含量较正常组增加。H2O2诱导Nrf2基因敲除的PC12细胞损伤加重,且依达拉奉的治疗效果明显削弱。综上所述,Nrf2在依达拉奉减轻脑缺血再灌注诱导的氧化应激损伤中发挥关键作用。 相似文献
