摘要:

 

神经功能障碍恢复涉及大脑内神经发生和轴突重塑。栝蒌桂枝汤在中国用于治疗卒中后肢体痉挛已有悠久的历史,研究显示其对脑缺血损伤有神经保护作用,但是栝蒌桂枝汤对脑缺血后内源性神经发生和轴突重构的影响仍有待研究。实验通过大脑中动脉闭塞建立局灶性脑缺血再灌注大鼠模型,以Longa的5分评分系统在再灌注后即刻评估神经学行为以确定成功模型,然后将成功建模的大鼠随机分为溶剂组和栝蒌桂枝汤组,并另取行假手术大鼠作为假手术组。栝蒌桂枝汤组大鼠在分组后立即灌胃栝蒌桂枝汤水煎剂,1次/d,连续14d,溶剂组和假手术组灌胃蒸馏水。以平衡木平衡试验评分以及足失误试验观察大鼠行为学变化,以尼氏染色检测脑组织病理变化,以免疫荧光染色检测脑组织中增殖细胞标志物BrdU、神经前体细胞标志物DCX、星形胶质细胞标志物胶质纤维酸性蛋白以及轴突再生标志物生长相关蛋白43的免疫反应。结果发现脑缺血再灌注大鼠经栝蒌桂枝汤水煎剂治疗后,脑组织病理损伤明显减轻,且缺血侧脑室下区BrdU、DCX和胶质纤维酸性蛋白阳性细胞数量增加,梗死周围皮质中的生长相关蛋白43表达增加,且大鼠神经行为能力明显改善。表明栝蒌桂枝汤可通过促进损伤部位细胞增殖,增加神经元前体和星形胶质细胞和梗死周围皮质中的轴突再生,促进神经功能的恢复。

Abstract:

Recovery following stroke involves neurogenesis and axonal remodeling within the ischemic brain. Gualou Guizhi decoction (GLGZD) is a Chinese traditional medicine used for the treatment of post-stroke limb spasm. GLGZD has been reported to have neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemic injury. However, the effects of GLGZD on neurogenesis and axonal remodeling following cerebral ischemia remain unknown. In this study, a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion. Neurological function was assessed immediately after reperfusion using Longa’s 5-point scoring system. The rats were randomly divided into vehicle and GLGZD groups. Rats in the sham group were given sham operation. The rats in the GLGZD group were intragastrically administered GLGZD, once daily, for 14 consecutive days. The rats in the vehicle and sham groups were intragastrically administered distilled water. Modified neurological severity score test, balance beam test and foot fault test were used to assess motor functional changes. Nissl staining was performed to evaluate histopathological changes in the brain. Immunofluorescence staining was used to examine cell proliferation using the marker 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) as well as expression of the neural precursor marker doublecortin (DCX), the astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and the axon regeneration marker growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43). GLGZD substantially mitigated pathological injury, increased the number of BrdU, DCX and GFAP-immunoreactive cells in the subventricular zone of the ischemic hemisphere, increased GAP-43 expression in the cortical peri-infarct region, and improved motor function. These findings suggest that GLGZD promotes neurological functional recovery by increasing cell proliferation, enhancing axonal regeneration, and increasing the numbers of neuronal precursors and astrocytes in the peri-infarct area.
