摘要
目的:探索紫檀芪(pterostilbene,PTE)对小鼠脑缺血再灌注(IR)后线粒体氧化损伤的作用及可能机制。方法:通过双侧颈总动脉阻断法建立小鼠脑IR模型,腹腔注射PTE或Zn PP(血红素加氧酶-1抑制剂),动物随机均分为IR组、PTE+IR组、PTE+Zn PP+IR组、Zn PP+IR组,并且PTE有2.5 mg/kg、5 mg/kg、10 mg/kg三个剂量组。然后,进行神经功能评分;通过干湿比重法测定脑水肿;火焰光度法测定Na~+含量;Neu N和TUNEL法测定细胞存活和凋亡;通过线粒体膜电位(MMP)、线粒体活性氧(ROS)产物和线粒体复合物I和IV活性测定来检测线粒体的氧化应激损伤;通过Western Blot检测血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)、NADPH醌氧化还原酶-1(NQO1)、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GST)、线粒体和胞浆细胞色素c蛋白的表达。结果:PTE可以提高小鼠的神经功能评分、减轻脑水肿和降低脑Na~+含量。PTE上调HO-1、NQO1和GST的表达,提高MMP、线粒体复合体I/IV活性和线粒体细胞色素c水平,减少线粒体ROS产物和降低胞浆细胞色素c水平,并且有一定的剂量依赖性。但是,PTE的这些作用可以被HO-1的抑制剂Zn PP逆转。结论:在脑IR模型小鼠,PTE通过激活HO-1信号减轻线粒体氧化应激损伤和细胞死亡,从而发挥脑保护作用。
Objective: To explore the effects of pterostilbene(PTE) on mitochondrial oxidative damage in mice cerebral ischemia reperfusion( IR) model and the possible mechanisms. Methods: IR injury was induced by bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion in mice using non-traumatic aneurysm clips. The mice received PTE or Zn PP,the inhibitor of heme oxygenase-1( HO-1) by intraperitoneal injection. The mice were randomly divided into four groups: IR; PTE +IR; PTE + Zn PP + IR; Zn PP + IR. The dose of PTE used was 2. 5 mg/kg,5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg. The neurological scores were assessed and the brain edema was detected by wet-dried weight method. The sodium ion level in the brain was measured by flame photometry. The neuronal survival and the apoptotic ratio in IR-injured brains were detected by Neu N and TUNEL assay. The mitochondrial oxidative stress injury was evaluated through the measurements of mitochondrialmembrane potential( MMP),reactive oxygen species( ROS) production,mitochondrial complex I and IV activity. The protein expressions of HO-1,NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1( NQO1),glutathione s-transferases( GST),mitochondrial and cytosolic cytochrome c was detected by Western Blot. Results: PTE improved neurological scores of mice,lowered brain edema and decreased the sodium ion content of brain. It up-regulated HO-1,NQO1 and GST expression.Moreover,PTE resulted in a well-preserved mitochondrial MMP,mitochondria complex I/IV activity,mitochondrial cytochrome c level while it reduced mitochondrial ROS production and cytosolic cytochrome c level. However,the dosedependent PTE-elevated mitochondrial function was reversed by Zn PP. Conclusion: In mice cerebral IR model,PTE plays a role in the brain protection by reducing mitochondrial oxidative damage and cell death through the activation of HO-1 signal.
