摘要:

有报道显示中药单体葛根素可在脑缺血再灌注损伤中发挥神经保护作用,实验希望揭示其作用机制,采用线栓法制作大脑中动脉缺血再灌注大鼠模型,于再灌注前30 min和再灌注后8 h腹腔内注射葛根素(100 mg/kg),再灌注24 h后发现,葛根素能显著改善脑缺血大鼠神经缺损评分,减少脑梗死区面积和脑水含量,显著减少缺血区脑组织炎性因子Toll样受体4、髓样分化因子88、核转录因子κB和肿瘤坏死因子α的表达。说明葛根素对缺血再灌注损伤脑组织有保护作用,其作用途径下调多种炎性因子的表达发挥抗炎效应而实现其目的。

Abstract:

Puerarin, a traditional Chinese medicine, exerts a powerful neuroprotective effect in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, but its mechanism is unknown. Here, we established rat models of middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion injury using the suture method. Puerarin (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 30 minutes before middle cerebral artery occlusion and 8 hours after reperfusion. Twenty-four hours after reperfusion, we found that puerarin significantly improved neurological deficit, reduced infarct size and brain water content, and notably diminished the expression of Toll-like receptor-4, myeloid differentiation factor 88, nuclear factor kappa B and tumor necrosis factor-α in the ischemic region. These data indicate that puerarin exerts an anti-inflammatory protective effect on brain tissue with ischemia/reperfusion damage by downregulating the expression of multiple inflammatory factors.
