Effect of Epigaloctechin-3-gallit (EGCG) on the Release of Inflammatory Cytokines and Expression of Neurotrophic Factors in Spinal Cord-injuried Rats
Objective: To investigate the the protective effects of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) on the release of inflammatory cytokines and expression of neurotrophic factors in spinal cord-injuried(SCI) rats. Method: SCI model was reproduced by hemisection
and EGCG was administered for 24 h after hemisection 5 min after SCI. The concentrations of serum IL-6 and IL-8 were measured by ELISA assay
and the expression of neurotrophin-3(NT-3)and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)protein in injured spinal cord tissues were determined by western blot. Result : EGCG significantly reduced the levels of serum IL-6 and IL-8
and increased expression of NT-3 and BDNF at the injured spinal cord in SCI rats. Conclusion : EGCG may protect against spinal cord from injury by inhibiting release of inflammatory cytokines and enhancing the expression of endogenous neurotrophic factors in SCI rats.
