摘要:

黄芩苷是一种从黄芩中提取的黄酮类化合物,对缺血性脑卒中具有神经保护作用,而其对新生儿缺氧缺血性脑损伤是否也有保护作用仍有待研究。实验对7d龄大鼠行左侧颈总动脉结扎,同时行37℃ 8%氧气环境缺氧2h建立新生大鼠大脑缺氧缺血损伤模型,损伤后即刻以120 mg/kg剂量的黄芩苷腹腔注射干预。结果显示,造模后24h时,黄芩苷能有效减少脑梗死体积和神经元缺失,抑制细胞凋亡,上调p-Akt和谷氨酸转运体1的表达。而损伤前30min经侧脑室注射PI3K/Akt抑制剂LY294002则能抑制黄芩苷诱导的p-Akt和谷氨酸转运体1表达变化,并减弱与之相关的神经保护作用。表明黄芩苷可通过PI3K/Akt信号通路上调谷氨酸转运体1表达,对新生大鼠缺氧缺血性脑损伤有保护作用。

Abstract:

Baicalin is a flavonoid compound extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis root. Recent evidence indicates that baicalin is neuroprotective in models of ischemic stroke. Here, we investigate the neuroprotective effect of baicalin in a neonatal rat model of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.Seven-day-old pups underwent left common carotid artery ligation followed by hypoxia (8% oxygen at 37°C) for 2 hours, before being injected with baicalin (120 mg/kg intraperitoneally) and examined 24 hours later. Baicalin effectively reduced cerebral infarct volume and neuronal loss, inhibited apoptosis, and upregulated the expression of p-Akt and glutamate transporter 1. Intracerebroventricular injection of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) inhibitor LY294002 30 minutes before injury blocked the effect of baicalin on p-Akt and glutamate transporter 1, and weakened the associated neuroprotective effect. Our findings provide the first evidence, to our knowledge that baicalin can protect neonatal rat brains against hypoxic-ischemic injury by upregulating glutamate transporter 1 via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
