Abstract: | AIM: To observe the expression of CRF and PKC in rats with cerebral ischemia.METHODS: Using immunohistochemistry technique we measured the expression quantitatively of CRF and PKC proteins in the hippocampus in rats induced by MCAO at 2 h,6 h and 24 h after reperfusion,contrast to CRF antagonist.RESULTS: (1) CRF: there were lots of positive and deeper dyeing neurons in hippocampus in model group and normal saline group rats,while there were a few positive and lighter dyeing neurons in sham group and CRF antagonist group.The positive expression areas of CRF protein in hippocampus in model group and normal saline group were significantly bigger than those in sham group and CRF-antagonist group(P<0.01),respectively.(2) PKC:there were a great number of denser positive granules in hippocampus in model group and normal saline group rats,while there were a few of scattered positive granules in sham group and CRF antagonist group.The positive expression areas of CRF protein in hippocampus in model group and normal saline group were significantly bigger than that in sham group and CRF-antagonist group (P<0.01),respectively.CONCLUSION: The high expression of CRF and PKC induced by cerebral ischemia may be one important factors that resulted in the delayed neuronal death in hippocampus.The CRF protein activated PKC expression,indicating an important pathology mechanism of nerve tissue damage induced by CRF. |
