The present study analyzed the effects of IP on integrin αvβ3 mRNA expression following cerebral ischemia through the use of hematoxylin-eosin staining and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction techniques. Integrin avid3 mRNA expression in the ischemia group peaked at 24 hours after ischemia-reperfusion. In the IP ＋ ischemia group, integrin αvβ3 mRNA expression increased after 24 hours, but remained significantly less than the ischemia group, and expression continued to increase until 7 days after ischemiaJreperfusion. These results demonstrate that IP effectively attenuated upregulation of integrin αvβ3 mRNA expression at 24 hours after ischemia.展开更多
