Expression of c-fos gene in brain tissue and change of focal cerebral blood flow after experimental intracerebral hemorrhage in rats / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the expression of c-fos gene at early stage and changes of focal cerebral blood flow (CBF) in brain tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) in rats.Methods The rat models with ICH were made by Nath improvement method;fos protein in brain tissue and the expression of c-fos mRNA were measured by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR method;its focal cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured by hydrogen clearing method.Results The expression of fos protein was found at 1 h after ICH in the ipsilateral basal ganglia after ICH,it peaked at 3 h;c-fos mRNA peaked at 1 h after ICH,and had still expression of higher level after 3 h;cBF was reduced at 1 h after ICH,and returned to the level of the control group by 3 h and maintained to 24 h after ICH,and then appeared the reduction of CBF during 24 h again.Conclusion The increase and long induction expression of c-fos gene were showed in brain tissue of hematoma periperal zone and contralateral cortex one.Although focal CBF reduced after ICH in rats,it wasn't consistent with the expression of c-fos gene.
