We established the middle cerebral artery occlusion model in rats via the suture method. Ten minutes after middle cerebral artery occlusion, the animals were intraperitoneally injected with hydrogen sulfide donor compound sodium hydrosulfide. Immunofluorescence revealed that the immunoreactivity of P2X7 in the cerebral cortex and hippocampal CA1 region in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury decreased with hydrogen sulfide treatment. Furthermore, treatment of these rats with hydrogen sulfide significantly lowered mortality, the Longa neurological deficit scores, and infarct volume. These results indicate that hydrogen sulfide may be protective in rats with local cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by down-regulating the expression of P2X7 receptors.展开更多

MSCs were administrated via carotid artery at 24 hours after MCAo in T groups. At 1, 2, 4 and 12 weeks after MCAo, rats were killed in batches to investigate dynamically the regeneration of microvessels and proliferation of neuronal progenitors in ischemic region by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.Results ①Notable microvessel proliferation in the injured cortex was found 1 week after MCAo and peaked at 2 weeks, then decreased at 4 and 12 weeks. The microvessel density (MVD) in the focal cortex of rats treated with MSC was significantly higher than that of C groups at 1,2,4 and 12 weeks after MCAo (P<0.05). Plenty of VEGFmRNA positive signals were found in cortical and perivascular neurons at 1 and 2 weeks after MCAo, and were more intensive in the T groups than those in C groups at 4 and 12 weeks after MCAo. ②At 1 week after MCAo, numerous nestin -positive cells (NPC) in the injured cortex of parietal lobe, caudate putamen, ependyma ,subependymal zone were observed and the NPC count showed the greatest amount of positive cells at the first week after MCAo, decreased at 2 weeks; and at 12 weeks after MCAo, only scanty NPC scattered in the focal cortex of C groups, whereas, in the T groups, the amount of positive cells remained great.The NPC amount of T groups at each time interval was significantly higher than that of C group(P<0.05) . ③At 1 week after MCAo, large amounts BrdU-labeled cells in the ischemic cortex, caudate putamen, ependyma ,subependymal zone were seen and positive-cell count appeared highest at the first week after MCAo, decreased after 2 weeks; and at 4 and 12 weeks , only scanty BrdU positive cells scattered in the focal cortex of C groups, while, in T groups, a number of positive cells could still be seen in the focal cortex.The BrdU positive cell count of the T group was significantly higher than that of the C group at each time interval(P<0.05).Conclusion These results suggest that MSC transplantation can improve neurological function in cerebral ischemic rats through promoting revascularization and proliferation of neuronal progenitors in the injured region.展开更多

Estrogen is used clinically to alleviate injury caused by cerebral ischemia, it has been hypothesized that the neuroprotective role of estrogen relates to angiopoietin (Angpt), which plays an important role in vascularization, vascular remodeling and maturation. OBJECTIVE: To observe and validate the effect of estradiol on angiopoietin-1 (Angptl) mRNA expression in ovariectomized rats with focal cerebral ischemia after reperfusion, so as to explore the molecular mechanisms of estradiol-mediated protection from cerebral ischemic damage. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized, controlled, molecular biology, prospective animal study. The experiment was performed at the Central Laboratory of Chongqing Medical University from September to December 2005. MATERIALS: Fifty healthy female wild type (WT) rats aged 6 months and fifty female rats aged 6 months with knockout of the estrogen-alpha receptor gene (ERKO). METHODS: WT rats and ERKO rats were divided into estradiol and control groups (n = 25), and injected intramuscularly with estradiol benzoate (100μg/kg per day) or corn oil (l mL/kg per day) for 7 days, 30 days after bilateral ovariectomy. Rat models of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion were established with the middle cerebral artery occlusion method. After 30 minutes of middle cerebral artery occlusion, rats from the estradiol and control groups were injected intramuscularly with estradiol benzoate or corn oil at the above dose. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We used radio-immunity analysis and laser-Doppler flowmetry to measure plasma estradiol levels and changes in cerebral blood flow. We used immunohistochemical staining of CD34 epitopes to measure changes in the capillary density in brain following cerebral iscbemia/reperfusion, and quantitative RT-PCR analysis to assess mRNA expression levels of Angptl, Angpt2, Tie2, vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf), VegfR1, and Veg, fR2. RESULTS: In WT ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol, the change in cerebral blood flow following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, capillary density in the basal nuclei and parietal lobe cortex and Angptl mRNA level were significantly higher than in the control group (P 〈 0.01 ). We did not identify any such changes in ERKO rats treated with estradiol. In addition, the plasma estradiol levels in WT and ERKO ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol were remarkably higher than in their corresponding control groups (P 〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: Angptl is a critical factor in many processes during the repair of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. For example, it confers estrogen-mediated protection, restoration of cerebral blood flow and increases in brain capillary density. It is emerging as an important molecule for estradiol-mediated neuroprotection.展开更多
