Effect of Yiqi Huoxue Recipe on Oxidative Stress Response in Rats with Cerebral Ischemia Injury Based on Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathway
To investigate the protective effect of Yiqi Huoxue recipe on rats with cerebral ischemia injury by using oxidative stress injury as an entry point.
Method:
2
SD rats were randomly divided into model group
sham operation group
nimodipine group (20 mg·kg
-1
)
Yiqi Huoxue recipe high
medium and low dose group (2.916
1.458
0.729 g·kg
-1
). After 14 days of stomach
acute cerebral ischemic injury model was established by ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries. Ultrasound of synapse was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and dialdehyde (MDA)
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)
horizontal adenine nucleoside triphosphate (ATP) levels were detected by biochemical method. Western blot and Real-time PCR was used to determine the expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and nuclear factor E

-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein and mRNA in the ischemic cortex of rats.
Result:
2
Transmission electron microscopy showed that Yiqi Huoxue recipe had a significant improvement on the degree of cerebral ischemic injury. Compared with sham operation group
MDA levels in the brain homogenate of model group increased significantly
T-SOD and GSH-Px levels were significantly decreased (
P

P
<
0.01). The levels of HO-1 and Nrf2 protein and the expression of HO-1 and Nrf2 mRNA in brain tissue were significantly decreased (
P
<
0.01). Compared with model group
the medium and high dose group of Yiqi Huoxue recipe significantly decreased MDA content in brain tissue and increased the levels of T-SOD and GSH-Px(

P
<

Conclusion:
2
Yiqi Huoxue recipe may protect against cerebral ischemic injury by inhibiting oxidative stress through Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
