ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of Shuxuetong Injection (SXT ) on expressions of cell apoptosis and TLR4 a-round ischemic area after focal cerebral infarction in rats and to discuss its neuroprotective mechanism on ischemia-induced brain in-jury .Methods The SD rats were subjected to establish the model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)by nylon monofila-ment suture ,then were randomly divided into the sham-operated group ,the model group and the SXT treatment group ;the cell ap-optosis and the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and protein around ischemic area at 12 ,24 ,48 ,72 h after cerebral ischemia were detec-ted respectively by TUNEL test mediated with DNA ,RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry .Results In the model group ,the number of TUNEL positive cells ,the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and protein were gradually increased at 12 h ,reached the peak at 24 h , then decreased and were still higher than those in the sham-operated group(P<0 .01);in the SXT treatment group ,these expres-sions after 24 h were lower than those in the model group (P<0 .05)and declined as the treatment time increase(P<0 .05) .Conclu-sion In subacute stage of cerebral ischemia injury ,apoptosis is related with the expression of TLR4 ,SXT may inhibit apoptosis , down-regulate the expression of TLR4 around ischemic area ,this may be one of the mechanisms of neuroprotection .
