Effects of sevoflurane postconditioning on oxidative stress and expression of SIRTl/PGC-1α of hippocampus in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the effects of sevoflurane postconditioning on oxidative stress and the expression of silent information regulation (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator la (PGC-1α) in hippocampus of rats subjected to hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group (Sham group), shock and resuscitation group (Shock group) and 2.4% sevoflurane postconditioning group (Sevo group). The rats in Sevo group were inhaled 2.4% sevoflurane when received resuscitation after hemorrhagic shock, while rats in Sham and Shock group were treated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 in the corresponding period. MAP and arterial blood gases were measured at TO (start bleeding), Tl (30 min after bleeding),T2 (start resuscitation), and T3 (30 min after resuscitation). After 24h of surgery,rats with successful model were chosen for the detection of various indexes. The content of malonaldehyde (MDA) in hippocampus and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mitochondria isolated from hippocampal tissue were detected. Western blot was used to analyze the protein relative expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-la in hippocampus. Results Compared with Sham group, the content of MDA increased, the activity of SOD decreased, and the expression of SIRT1 and PGC-1α a increased in Shock group (P < 0. 05). Compared with Shock group, the content of MDA decreased, the activity of SOD increased, and the expression of SIRT1 and PGC-1α increased in Sevo group (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Sevoflurane postconditioning can alleviate oxidative stress in hippocampus of a model rat of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation, which may be correlated with the up-regulation of the protein relative expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α.
