Effect of erythropoietin on Bcl-xl expression in hippocampal CA1 subregion and cognizing function in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of erythropoietin(EPO) on Bcl-xl expression in hippocampal CA1 subregion and cognizing function in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(IR).Methods Male SD rats were randomly separated into sham-operated group,IR group and EPO group,and the IR models were made.At 3 h before IR models made,rHu-EPO and saline were injected into rat lateral ventricles in EPO group and IR group,respectively,with help of stereotaxic coordinates.Bcl-xl protein expression of Hippocampal CA1 subregion was detected by immunohistochemistry at 24 h after operation.The learning and memory abilities were examined by electricity maze at 4 weeks after operation.Results Compared to sham-operated group,Bcl-xl protein expression in EPO group and IR group were obviously decreased,but EPO group was significantly increased than IR group(all P
