Syndecan-1 expression in perilesional zone of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rat / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the expression of syndecan-1 in different intervals following focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rat and the relationship between syndecan-1 and inflammatory cells in the rat brain.Methods The rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MACO) was performed by using the intraluminal filament occlusion for 2 h,then released.The rat brain were cut in the coronal planes at the levels of the hippocampus as the templates.The immunohistochemical staining and HE staining were used to observe the distribution and the quantity of syndecan-1 and inflammatory cell expression in the normal control group,sham operation group and the MCAO groups at 4,24,72 h and 7 d after reperfusion.Results The expression of syndecan-1 was mainly in the cortex and the subcortex in the rats of normal control group and sham operation group.The immunoreactivity of syndecan-1 in the infarcted core and perilesional infarcted zone started decreasing at 4 h after ischemia/reperfusion,reached the lowest at 24 h.The expression of syndecan-1 in the perilesional infarcted zone was up-regulated at 72 h and recovered at 7 d.The relationship between syndecan-1 and inflammatory cells was of negative correlation.Conclusion The decreasing of syndecan-1 may contribute to inflammatory response in the cerebral infarction region after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.
