摘要
【目的】研究白藜芦醇对高原脑水肿小鼠脑组织的保护作用及血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)基因及蛋白表达的影响。【方法】成年雄性昆明种小鼠随机分为5组:常氧对照组、急性低氧组、白藜芦醇大、中、小剂量组;不同浓度白藜芦醇预处理小鼠1周,将其放入低压氧舱,模拟海拔8 000 m高度,缺氧24 h。HE染色观察小鼠脑组织形态学改变,real-time PCR检测VEGF mRNA表达变化,免疫组化和Western blotting方法检测VEGF蛋白表达变化。【结果】与急性低氧组比较,白藜芦醇预处理组小鼠脑组织形态结构接近常氧对照组,VEGF mRNA及蛋白表达均明显下调(P<0.05)。【结论】白藜芦醇能够减轻急性低压低氧导致的脑水肿,保护脑组织,此作用与其下调VEGF的表达,保护血脑屏障通透性有关。
【Objective】To study the protective effect of resveratrol on brain tissues and its regulation on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in mice with high-altitude cerebral edema.【Methods】The male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group, acute hypoxia group, intervention groups with resveratrol in high, medium and low dose. The mice were pretreated with different concentrations of resveratrol for 1 w and placed in a hypobaric chamber which mimicked the height of 8000 m above sea level for 24 h. The microstructure changes in the cerebral tissues of mice were observed via HE staining, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used for detecting the m RNA and protein expressions of VEGF.【Results】Compared with acute hypoxia group, the microstructures were improved in the intervention groups with resveratrol. The m RNA and protein levels of VEGF were down-regulated obviously(P< 0.05).【Conclusion】Resveratrol can attenuate cerebral edema caused by hypobaric hypoxia and protect brain from injury. This action may be related with its effect of down-regulating the expression of VEGF.
