Neuroprotective effects of salidroside against focal celebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the effect of Salidroside on the focal celebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats and its underlying mechanism. Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 260-300 g, were ran-domly divided into three groups sham, MCAO, MCAO+salidroside ( Sal ) groups. The rats were sub-jected to local celebral ischemia reperfusion with su- ture-occluded method. The rats of MCAO +Sal group were treated intraperitoneally with salidroside ( 50 mg ·kg-1 ) for 6 days. Neurological deficit testing was performed with Longa’ s Scale. The mRNA expressions of Neun,Nogo-A,and NgR were detected by RT-qPCR in ischemic brain. The protein expressions of Neun, NGF , BDNF , Nogo-A and NgR were determined by Western blot. Results Compared with MCAO group, salidroside significantly improved the neurological defi-cit,promoted the expressions of Bcl-2,Neun,NGF,BD-NF, and inhibited the expressions of Nogo-A, NgR. Conclusion Salidroside can reduce neurological defi-cit, increase the number of Nissl’ s Body and the ex-pression of Neun, and protect rats against focal cele- bral ischemia/reperfusion injury,which may be accom-plished by increasing the expressions of Bcl-2, NGF, BDNF, and inhibiting the expressions of Nogo-A, NgR.
