Ellagic acid attenuates hypoxic-ischemic brain injury by alleviating autophagy

AIM:To investigate whether ellagic acid (EA) attenuates hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) by down-regulating autophagy. METHODS:In vivo, Sprague-Dawley rats (n=17) were randomly divided into 3 groups:5 rats for sham group, 6 rats for HIE group and 6 rats for HIE+EA pretreatment group. The rats in HIE+EA pretreatment group were treated with EA (10 mg/kg, 10 mL/kg, suspended in corn oil, ig). After 24 h of operation, the rats from each group were sacrificed and their brains were collected. TTC staining and HE staining were used to define the infarct areas and brain structure. The autophagy-related proteins beclin-1, P62, LC3-Ⅱ/-I and Atg5 in the cortex in each group were compared by Western blot. In vitro, PC12 cells were divided into 3 groups:control group, CoCl₂ group and CoCl₂+EA pretreatment group. CoCl₂ at 800 μmol/L was added to the PC12 cells to induce an anoxic environment. The PC12 cells were pretreated with EA at 8 μmol/L and the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The production of reactive oxidative species (ROS) in the cells was detected by flow cytometry with DCFH-DA staining. MDC staining and TMRE staining were applied to reflect the extent of autophagy and the state of apoptosis, respectively. The autophagy-related proteins in PC12 cells were also investigated. RESULTS:In HIE group, 7-day-old rats were given the operations and the their large infarct areas in the hemisphere were observed by TTC staining. HE staining displayed the injured hemispheres which contained few neurons, and exhibited edema status and serious structural damage. EA pretreatment decreased the infarct area and alleviated the damage to hemisphere with more visible neurons, compared with HIE group. Compared with sham group, the levels of autophagy-related proteins Atg5, beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ/-I in the cortex were increased (P<0.01), and P62 protein expression was decreased (P<0.01) in HIE group. Compared with HIE group, the protein expression of Atg5, beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ/-I was decreased (P<0.01) and P62 protein expression was increased in HIE+EA pretreatment group (P<0.01). In vitro, compared with CoCl₂ group, the PC12 cells in CoCl₂+EA pretreatment group showed a lower ROS level. Moreover, the cells in CoCl₂+EA pretreatment group exhibited higher mitochondrial membrane potential than that in CoCl₂ group. MDC staining in CoCl₂ group showed high value of fluorescence and increased number of autophagosomes. EA pretreatment reduced the number of autophagosomes and the extent of autophagy to protect PC12 cells. Furthermore, the protein levels of Atg5, beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ/-I in CoCl₂ group were higher (P<0.01), and the protein expression of P62 was lower (P<0.01) than those in control group. In CoCl₂+EA pretreatment group, the protein levels of Atg5, beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ/-I were decreased (P<0.01) and the protein expression of P62 was increased as compared with CoCl₂ group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:EA pretreatment attenuates autophagy to protect the neurons against HIE injury.

Effects of tirofiban on no-reflow and activation of NF-κB after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in rats

AIM: To investigate the effects of platelet glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa receptor inhibitor tirofiban on myocardial no-reflow and activation of NF-κB after acute ischemia/reperfusion in rats. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were randomized into sham operation group, control group and tirofiban treatment group. Control group and tirofiban group were subjected ischemia for 90 min by ligation of coronary artery after thoracotomy and subsequently reperfusion for 120 min to establish acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion no-reflow models. Thioflavine S, Evans blue and triphenyltetra zolium chloride (TTC) staining were performed to evaluate the area of no-reflow (ANR), infracted area (IA) and risk area (RA) of the heart. Immunohistochemistry was used for semi-quantitative analysis of the expression of nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) protein in myocytes and arteriole. Activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in risk area of the heart were detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. RESULTS: After 120 min for reperfusion, compared to sham group, the statistical differences of higher positive expression of NF-κB p65 in myocytes and arteriole, activity of MPO and content of MDA both in control and tirofiban group were observed. Compared to control group, lower positive expression of NF-κB p65 in myocyte and arteriole, activity of MPO and content of MDA in tirofiban group were found (P<0.05, P<0.01). A markedly reduced ANR and IA were observed in tirofiban group than those in control group (34.36%±6.04% vs 52.09%±6.89%, P<0.01; 80.41%±8.48% vs 90.13%±5.72%, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: After myocardial ischemia/reperfusion for 120 min, no-reflow phenomenon can be observed in rats. Tirofiban reduces the areas of anatomic no-reflow and infarction, inhibits the activation of NF-κB in myocyte and arteriole, and decreases the infiltration of neutrophils and release of oxygen free radicals.     

Effects of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton on destruction of blood-brain barrier permeability induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats

AIM: To investigate the influential factors of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and to observe the effects of zileuton, a selective 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor (5-LO), on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI).METHODS: The right middle cerebral artery of the rat was occluded by inserting a thread through internal carotid artery for 2 h, and then reperfused for 24 h. Zileuton (10, 50 mg·kg-1, po) was orally administered 2 h before ischemia and at 0, 5, 10 h after reperfusion. The permeability of blood brain barrier (BBB) was detected by using Evans blue (EB) as a labelling compound. The degree of cerebral edema was estimated by AutoCAD image analysis software. The mRNA of cysteiny leukotrienes receptor1 (CysLTR1) was detected by RT-PCR. The content of LTB4 in serum was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of AQP4 and MMP-9 proteins were measured by immunohistochemical staining method. RESULTS: After middle cerebral artery occlussion 2 h/reperfusion 24 h, the permeability of BBB in the brain tissue of injured side and the brain edema degree were increased. The content of LTB4 in serum was elevated. The expression of CysLTR1 mRNA from the brain tissue of occluded side was enhanced. The expressions of MMP-9 and AQP4 proteins of the ischemia realm and ischemia penumbra (IP) of the infarct focus perimeter were increased. Both 10 and 50 mg·kg-1 doses of zileuton dramatically relieved the BBB permeability destruction and the degree of the brain edema, inhibited the expression of CysLTR1 mRNA in the brain tissue and also reduced the content of LTB4 in serum. The expressions of AQP4 and MMP-9 proteins in the brain tissue were also decreased.CONCLUSION: The permeability of BBB is destroyed after the focal CIRI. The mechanisms of protective effect of zileuton might be attributed to its effects by inhibiting the activation of 5-LO pathways on the brain tissue and circulatory blood, reducing the expressions of AQP4 and MMP-9 proteins of the ischemia and IP realm in the brain tissue.
