ABSTRACT
NMDAR (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor) is one subtype of ionotrophic glutamate receptor which is extensively distributed in the central nervous system (CNS). In the mammalian CNS, NMDAR serves prominent roles in the pathophysiologic process of cerebral ischemia. This study aimed to investigate the pattern of expression of protein and gene of the excitatory neurotransmitter NMDAR in experimental focal cerebral ischemia and the hole of neuroprotection with hypothermia and ketoprofen. 120 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (20 animals each) control - no surgery; sham - simulation of surgery; ischemic - focal ischemia for 1 hour, without reperfusion; ischemic + intraischemic hypothermia; ischemic + previous intravenous ketoprofen, and ischemic + hypothermia and ketoprofen. Ten animals from each experimental group were used to establish the volume of infarct. Transient focal cerebral ischemia was obtained in rats by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery with an intraluminal suture. The infarct volume was measured using morphometric analysis of infarct areas defined by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride and the patterns of expression of the protein and gene NMDA were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR, respectively. Increases in the protein and gene NMDA receptor in the ischemics areas were observed and these increases were reduced by hypothermia and ketoprofen. The increase in the NMDA receptor protein and gene expression observed in the ischemic animals was reduced by neuroprotection (hypothermia and ketoprofen). The NMDA receptor increases in the ischemic area suggests that the NMDA mediated neuroexcitotoxicity plays an important role in cell death and that the neuroprotective effect of both, hypothermia and ketoprofen is directly involved with the NMDA...
RESUMEN
NMDAR (N-metil-D-aspartato) es un tipo de receptor de glutamato ionotrópico y está ampliamente distribuido en el sistema nervioso central (SNC). En el SNC de mamíferos, NMDAR se destaca de manera importante en el proceso fisiopatológico de la isquemia cerebral. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar el patrón de expresión de proteínas y genes para el NMDA neurotransmisor excitatorio experimental de la isquemia cerebral focal y el vacío en la neuroprotección con hipotermia y ketoprofeno. Se dividieron 120 ratas aleatoriamente en grupos de 6 animales cada uno (20) Control - sin cirugía; Sham - simulación de cirugía; isquémicas - isquemia focal durante 1 hora, sin reperfusión isquémica; hipotermia intra-isquémica; isquemia; previa aplicación de ketoprofeno intravenoso, e hipotermia isquémica y ketoprofeno. Diez animales de cada grupo experimental fueron utilizados para establecer el volumen de infarto.La isquemia cerebral focal transitoria fue obtenida en ratas mediante oclusión de la arteria cerebral media con una sutura intraluminal. El volumen de infarto fue medido mediante análisis morfométrico de las áreas de infarto definidas por cloruro de trifenil tetrazolio y patrones de expresión de la proteína y el gen de NMDA, fueron evaluados por inmunohistoquímica y PCR cuantitativa en tiempo real, respectivamente. Se observaron aumentos en la proteína y en el gen del receptor de NMDA en las áreas isquémicas y estos aumentos fueron reducidos por la hipotermia y ketoprofeno. El aumento de la proteína del receptor de NMDA y la expresión génica observada en los animales isquémicos fue reducido mediante hipotermia y ketoprofeno. Los aumentos del receptor de NMDA en el área isquémica sugiere que la neuro excitotoxicidad mediada por NMDA desempeña un papel importante en la muerte celular y que el efecto neuroprotector de ambos, hipotermia y ketoprofeno está directamente relacionado al NMDA...
