Study on protective effects of twin drugs of tetramethylpyrazine-scutellarein on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model rats and its mechanism
To study the protective effects of twin drugs of tetramethylpyrazine-scutellarein (TMSC4) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) model rats and its mechanism.
METHODS
2
One hundred and five SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, scutellarein group (0.7 mmol/kg), tetramethylpyrazine group (0.7 mmol/kg), and TMSC4 low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.35, 0.7, 1.4 mmol/kg), with 15 rats in each group. Sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically, and other groups were given relevant drug intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 14 d. Except for sham operation group, all other groups were treated to establish the CIRI model using the thread occlusion method. After 2 hours of ischemia and 22 hours of reperfusion, the brain index and brain water content of the rats were measured. Serum levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) in brain tissues, the situation of neuronal cell apoptosis, and the protein expressions of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and cleaved-caspase-3 were evaluated.
RESULTS
2
Compared with sham operation group, the brain index, brain water content, the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α
,
the levels of MDA in brain tissues, the brain cell apoptosis and the protein expressions of Bax and cleaved-caspase-3 in model group were significantly increased (
P
<0.05); the levels of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT and the protein expression of Bcl-2 in brain tissues were significantly decreased (
P
<0.05). Compared with model group, the above indexes of rats were reversed significantly in administration groups (
P
<0.05), while the reverse effects of TMSC4 medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly better than those of scutellarein group and tetramethylpyrazine group (
P
<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
2
TMSC4 has a certain protective effect in CIRI model rats, the mechanism of which may be related to relieving inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress, inhibiting cell apoptosis.
