Objective:To discuss the effect of Angelicae Sinensis Radix polysaccharide on oxidative stress level and inflammatory cytokine expression of brain tissues in rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Method:Wistar rats were randomly divided into Sham group
ischemia reperfusion (I/R) group
ASRP groups (30
60 mg·kg-1·d-1) and Nimodipine group (15 mg·kg-1·d-1). On the 15th day before the operation
the drugs were intragastrically administered once a day. Line plug method was adopted to establish the rat model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion at 1 h after last administration. Neurological function scores
water content
infarction area
oxidative stress level
inflammatory cytokine expression and Toll like receptor-4 (TLR-4)/nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway were evaluated by Bederon scoring method
wet weight method
radioimmunoassay and Western blot
respectively. Result:Compared with model group
neurological function scores in low and high-dose ASRP groups
water content in high-dose ASRP group
and infarction area in low and high-dose ASRP groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05
P<0.01). Compared with model group
activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathion peroxidase (GSH-Px) were significantly elevated
and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly decreased in low and high-dose ASRP groups(P<0.05
P<0.01). Compared with model group
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) content in high-dose ASRP group
and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) content and expressions of TLR-4 and NF-κB p65 were significantly decreased in low and high-dose ASRP groups. Conclusion:ASRP has a protective effect on ischemia reperfusion injury in rats
which may be correlated with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
