川芎嗪对成年大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤后nNOS的表达和神经的影响

目的 探讨川芎嗪对大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤后脑组织内神经元型一氧化氮合酶免疫阳性细胞表达变化,及其对海马齿状回、侧脑室室下区神经细胞增殖的影响.方法 动物分为正常组、假手术组、对照组、川芎嗪处理组.脑缺血再灌注损伤模型由线栓法阻塞大鼠大脑中动脉(MACO)制成.BrdU标记增殖细胞.免疫组化SABC法测定大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤后,不同脑区在不同时间段的nNOS、BrdU免疫阳性细胞表达,Western blotting测定大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤后,不同脑区在不同时间段的nNOS的表达.结果 免疫组化结果显示在大脑皮层、纹状体与尾壳核和海马均有nNOS的表达,Western blotting结果显示,对照组缺血侧各脑区内,nNOS表达较假手术组升高(P＜0.05),并随时间延长而递增.川芎嗪处理组大脑皮层、纹状区与尾壳核nNOS表达1、3 d组比对照组同时段表达降低(P＜0.05).川芎嗪处理组BrdU阳性细胞在侧脑室室下区(SVZ)缺血再灌注1、3 d组明显高于对照组(P＜0.05),川芎嗪处理组BrdU阳性细胞在海马齿状回(DG)缺血再灌注3 d、7 d组高于对照组(P＜0.05).结论 川芎嗪能抑制缺血后脑组织内早期nNOS的表达,对缺血后脑组织具有早期保护作用,并能促进SVZ和DG神经细胞增殖.

Effect of ligustrazine on nNOS expression and neuranagenesis in adult rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury

Objective To observe the effect of ligustrazine on cell proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and dentate gyrus (DG) and nNOS expression in rat brain after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, sham operation group, model group and ligustrazine treatment group. The latter two groups were further divided into 5 subgroups for observation at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after reperfusion following a 2-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). The cells in S phase were labeled with BrdU, and immunohistochemistry was employed to detect BrdU- and nNOS-positive cells. The numbers of BrdU-positive cells in the SVZ and DG were measured. The expression of nNOS was detected by Western blotting. Results nNOS expression increased significantly in the model group as compared to the sham operation group (P<0.05), and ligustrazine treatment significantly lowered the expression level in comparison with the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, a significant increase in BrdU-positive cells occurred in the SVZ of rats 1 and 3 days after igustrazine treatment (P<0.05), along with an increase of DG BrdU-positive cells. Conclusion Ligustrazine significantly restrains ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced nNOS activity enhancement and promotes cell proliferation in the SVZ and DG of adult rats after ischemia-reperfusion injury.
