摘要:

远志皂甙元对神经元凋亡有明显抑制作用,从而起到了神经保护作用。实验按照改良Allen打击法建立了急性脊髓挫伤大鼠模型,损伤3h后,连续3d尾静脉注射注远志皂苷元30mg/g,可见大鼠脊髓空洞缩小,凋亡细胞数量明显减少,脊髓损伤区Bax、Caspase-3 mRNA及蛋白表达水平减少,Bcl-2 mRNA及蛋白表达水平增加,近脑端脊髓中神经纤维密度增加,后肢运动和电生理及神经功能明显恢复。结果表明远志皂苷元通过抑制脊髓挫伤区神经元凋亡对脊髓挫伤起到了保护作用。

Abstract:

Senegenin has been shown to inhibit neuronal apoptosis, thereby exerting a neuroprotective effect. In the present study, we established a rat
model of spinal cord contusion injury using the modified Allen’s method. Three hours after injury, senegenin (30 mg/g) was injected into
the tail vein for 3 consecutive days. Senegenin reduced the size of syringomyelic cavities, and it substantially reduced the number of apoptotic
cells in the spinal cord. At the site of injury, Bax and Caspase-3 mRNA and protein levels were decreased by senegenin, while Bcl-2
mRNA and protein levels were increased. Nerve fiber density was increased in the spinal cord proximal to the brain, and hindlimb motor
function and electrophysiological properties of rat hindlimb were improved. Taken together, our results suggest that senegenin exerts a
neuroprotective effect by suppressing neuronal apoptosis at the site of spinal cord injury.
