Abstract:
Objective To observe dynamic changes of Nestin and Erythropoietin(EPO)expression after cerebral ischemia and investigate possible mechanism of intrinsic neurogenesis. Methods A total of 36 SpragueDawley rats were divided into a control group(n=4)and an experimental group(n=32)randomly.The experimental group were further divided into 8 subgroups corresponding to the observation time points of 3,6,12,24 hours and 3,7,14,and 21 days after reperfusion.The model of experimental ischemia was made by 4-VO.The specimens were made into paraffin section.The expression of Nestin and EPO were detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results (1)Nestin detection:No Nestin positive cells were observed in hippocampal zone,subventricular zone (SVZ)and contex in the control group.The expression of Nestin started at 3 h in SVZ but not in hippocampal zone and it started to increase at 6 h after cerebral ischemia and reach a peak at 14d after cerebral isehemia in the hippocampal zone,then decreased at 21 d.The difference of Nestin expression among different time points is statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)EPO detection:A few EPO positive cells were observed in hippocampal zone in the control group.The expression of EPO started to increase at 3 h after cerebral ischemia and reach a peak at 24 h after cerebral ischemia,then decreased with time.The difference of EPO expression among the different time points is statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion (1)The increased expression of EPO and Nestin after cerebral ischemia might be a beneficial protective response of cells to the ischemic injury.(2)The sequence of expression of EPO and Nestin after cerebral ischemia is relevant.EPO may promote proliferation of NSC.
