神经节苷脂GM1对体外缺糖缺氧/再灌注大鼠海马脑片保护作用的研究

目的 :探讨神经节苷脂GM 1对体外缺糖 /缺氧再灌注 (OGD/Rep)大鼠海马脑片的保护作用。 方法 :采用测定脑片OGD/Rep后光通透度改变和 2 ,3 ,5 三苯基氯化四氮唑 (TTC)染色。结果 :①在 0 (对照 )、0 .1、1.0、10 μmol/LGM1四个处理组中 ,1μmol/LGM1组脑片光通透度峰值明显低于对照组和 0 .1μmol/LGM1组 (P <0 .0 1,ANO VA) ,10 μmol/LGM 1组脑片的峰值明显低于其他组 (P <0 .0 1)。脑片OGD后光通透度到达峰值的时间在四组间有显著性差异 (P <0 .0 5 ,Kruskal Wallistest) ,1μmol/LGM1组较对照组有显著差异 (P <0 .0 1,Mann WhitneyUtest)。②GM1与OGD/RP后大鼠海马脑片TTC染色呈现一定的剂量反应关系。在 0 (对照 )、0 .0 1、0 .1、1.0、10μmol/LGM1五组中 ,1μmol/LGM 1组脑片TTC染色最深 (P <0 .0 5vs对照、0 .0 1和 0 .1μmol/L组 ,ANOVA) ,10 μmol/LGM 1组次之 (P <0 .0 5vs对照和 0 .0 1μmol/L组 ,ANOVA)。 结论 :GM 1可以有效的保护体外大鼠海马脑片缺糖 /缺氧再灌注损伤。     

Neuroprotective effects of Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham (Olacaceae) on oxygen and glucose deprivation induced damage in rat hippocampal slices

Alcoholic infusions of Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham (PO, Olacaceae) are used in traditional medicine by patients presenting age associated symptoms and those recovering from stroke. The aim of this study is to evaluate the neuroprotective properties of PO ethanol extract (POEE) using hippocampal slices from Wistar rats exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD, followed by reoxygenation). Mitochondrial activity, an index of cell viability, was assessed by the MTT assay; in addition, the free radicals content was estimated by the use of dichlorofluorescein diacetate as probe. The OGD ischemic condition significantly impaired cellular viability, and increased free radicals generation. In non-OGD slices, incubation with POEE (0.6 microg/ml) increased (approximately 40%) mitochondrial activity, without affecting free radicals levels. In comparison to OGD controls, slices incubated with POEE (0.6 microg/ml) during and after OGD exposure had significantly increased cellular viability. In addition, at this same concentration, POEE prevented the increase of free radicals content induced by OGD. In view of the fact that respiratory chain inhibition and increased generation of free radicals are major consequences of the ischemic injury, this study suggests that Ptychopetalum olacoides contains useful neuroprotective compounds and, therefore, deserves further scrutiny.
