Protective Effect and Mechanism of Sodium Ferulate on Cerebral Ischemia-reperfusion Inflammatory Injury in Rats
B p65核转位减轻缺血再灌注大鼠脑神经细胞炎症反应,维持脑部正常形态,这可能是其发挥脑保护作用的机制之一。
Abstract
Objective:
2
To investigate the protective effect of sodium ferulate on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and to explore its possible mechanism.
Method:
2
The cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in SD male rats. 36 modeled rats with neurologic damage were randomly divided into 4 groups: model group
low
medium
high-dose sodium ferulate groups (25
50
100 mg·kg
-1
). Another nine rats were selected as a sham operation group.Neurological function was assessed by neurological scoring system in rats.Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the pathological changes of the rats' brain. The levels of tumor necrosis factor
α
(TNF-
α
)
interleukin-1
β
(IL-1
β
) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum and brain tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of nucleus and cytoplasm nuclear factor-kappa B p65 (NF-
κ
B p65) in brain tissues.
Result:
2
As compared with normal group
neurological deficit score was increased; the neuronal necrosis and inflammatory cell number were present; the serum and brain tissue levels of TNF-
α
IL-1
β
and IL-6 were increased; nucleus/cytoplasm NF-
κ
B p65 protein expression ratio was increased significantly in model group (
P
<
0.01). As compared with model group
sodium ferulate distinctly decreased the neurological deficit score(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
inhibited neuronal necrosis
reduce inflammatory cell number
significantly reduce the serum and brain tissue levels of TNF-
α
IL-1
β
and IL-6(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). Western blot showed that sodium ferulate could inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-
κ
B p65 protein(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
and finally
it can alleviate the inflammatory injury caused by ischemia reperfusion.
Conclusion:
2
Sodium ferulate protects the brain against focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury
and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting nuclear translocation of NF-
