Effect of Modified Sijunzi Tang on Protein and mRNA Expressions of Occludin, ZO-1 and Claudin-1 in Cerebral Ischemia Rats
To investigate the effect of modified Sijunzi Tang on protein and mRNA expressions of Occludin
Claudin-1 and zonula occludens-1(ZO-1) in cerebral ischemia rats.
Method:
2
Totally 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group
model group
edaravone group
small-dose modified Sijunzi Tang group
middle-dose modified Sijunzi Tang group and high-dose modified Sijunzi Tang group. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was prepared by suture method. After 7 days of treatment
the modeling group was put to death. Western blot was used to detect the contents of Occludin
Claudin-1 and ZO-1 in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats. Detection of Occludin
ZO-1
Claudin-1 mRNA expression in the ischemic cortex of rats by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR).
Result:
2
Compared with the sham operation group
protein expressions of Occludin
Claudin-1
and ZO-1 in the model group were significantly down-regulated (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group
protein expressions of Occludin
ZO-1
Claudin-1 in the positive control group and modified Sijunzi Tang groups increased significantly
with statistically significant differences (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the Sham operation group
the expression of Occludin
Claudin-1
and ZO-1 mRNA in the model group was down-regulated (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group
mRNA expressions of Occludin
Claudin-1
ZO-1 in the positive control group and modified Sijunzi Tang groups increased
with statistically significant differences (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Modified Sijunzi Tang may protect the blood-brain barrier and reduce brain edema in ischemic stroke rats by increasing the expression of tight junction proteins Occludin
ZO-1 and Claudin-1.
