Abstract:
Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of complement C3,high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)in brain tissue at different time points after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods A total 72 SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group(36 rats)and a model group(36 rats).A rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was established using thread occlusion,and then the rats from the model group were further assigned into 4 subgroups with reperfusion time for 3,6 and 24 h and 3 d,respectively,with 9 rats in each subgroup.Zea Longa scoring was used to assess neu-rological function.R2StarMap imaging,diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI),T1 weighted imaging,and T2 weighted imaging were performed on all the rats.The volume of abnormal DWI signals were detected and the volume of cerebral infarction was measured.The original R2StarMap images were post-processed to generate R2*pseudo color images,and then the R2*values of the areas with blood supply from bilateral middle cerebral artery were measured to detect iron deposition in the brain.The protein expression of C3,HMGB1,and GPX4 was detected by Western blotting.Results The sham operation group showed no neurological damage,while the model group had a significant increase in neurological function scores at 3,6 and 24 h and 3 d after modeling when compared to the sham surgery group(P＜0.05).While the size of right cerebral infarct was in-creased significantly at 3,6 and 24 h and 3 d in the rats of the model group(P＜0.05).The R2*value of the area with blood supply from the right middle cerebral artery in the model group was significantly higher than that in the left side at 3,6 and 24 h and 3 d(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and it was also obviously higher than that in the right side of the sham operation group at these time points(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The R2*ratio of the right and left blood supply areas in the model group at 3,6 and 24 h and 3 d was also statistically higher than that in the sham operation group at corresponding time points(1.82±0.82 vs 1.12±0.31,P＜0.05;1.31±0.26 vs 1.04±0.14,P＜0.05;1.94±0.74 vs 1.06±0.10,P＜0.01;1.99±0.39 vs 1.02±0.11,P＜0.01).Compared with the sham operation group,the expression levels of C3 and HMGB1 was significantly increased in the model group at 3,6 and 24 h and 3 d,while that of GPX4 was notably reduced(P＜0.01).Conclu-sion Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury impairs the neurological function of rats and signifi-cantly affects the cerebral expression of complement C3,HMGB1,and GPX4.
