摘要:

ROCK抑制剂法舒地尔对中枢神经系统具有保护作用。丰富环境可诱导缺血性脑卒中模型运动障碍的恢复,两者联合应用是否可更有效促进脑卒中后运动功能恢复和皮质轴突再生?实验通过光栓塞左侧感觉运动皮质诱导建立缺血性脑卒中小鼠模型,造模后1-21d每天腹腔注射10 mg/kg法舒地尔,造模第7-21天进行丰富环境干预。结果发现,丰富环境联合法舒地尔可有效改善小鼠的运动功能,并增加梗死侧大脑皮质中生长相关蛋白43的表达以及健侧轴突的再生,并明显下调ROCK,p-LIMK1和p-Cofilin的表达,且效果优于单独丰富环境或法舒地尔干预。结果提示丰富环境联合法舒地尔可部分通过刺激轴突再生来促进脑卒中后运动恢复,其机制与调控ROCK/LIMK1/Cofilin通路有关。实验于2016年2月24日经复旦大学动物伦理委员会批准(批准号20160858A232)。

Abstract: Fasudil, a Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, has a protective effect on the central nervous system. In addition, environmental enrichment is a promising technique for inducing the recovery of motor impairments in ischemic stroke models. The present study aimed to explore whether environmental enrichment combined with fasudil can facilitate motor function recovery and induce cortical axonal regeneration after stroke. First, a mouse model of ischemic cerebral stroke was established by photochemical embolization of the left sensorimotor cortex. Fasudil solution (10 mg/kg per day) was injected intraperitoneally for 21 days after the photothrombotic stroke. An environmental enrichment intervention was performed on days 7–21 after the photothrombotic stroke. The results revealed that environmental enrichment combined with fasudil improved motor function, increased growth-associated protein 43 expression in the infarcted cerebral cortex, promoted axonal regeneration on the contralateral side, and downregulated ROCK, p-LIM domain kinase (LIMK)1, and p-cofilin expression. The combined intervention was superior to monotherapy. These findings suggest that environmental enrichment combined with fasudil treatment promotes motor recovery after stroke, at least partly by stimulating axonal regeneration. The underlying mechanism might involve ROCK/LIMK1/cofilin pathway regulation. This study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Fudan University, China (approval No. 20160858A232) on February 24, 2016.
