Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship of proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in SVZ and the expressions of c-jun and c-myc in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) injury model administrated byDanlong XingnaoFormula.Methods The focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury models were prepared by longa method. Totally 150 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, cerebral model group,Danlong XingnaoFormula low-, medium-, and high-dose groups. The treatment groups were given corresponding dose ofDanlong XingnaoFormula, while the sham-operation group and model group were given the same amount of distilled water 24 h after modeling by gavage, once a day, 7 days in a row. 1 d, 3 d and 7 d after reperfusion, modified Neurological Severity Scores (m-NSS) was used to grade neurologic impairment. 7 d after reperfusion taken to the SVZ brain tissue of ischemia side, Brdu immunohistochemical method was used to record the BrdU positive cells number. The hippocampal c-jun, c-myc mRNA and protein expressions were determined respectively by RT-qPCR method and Western blot method.Results Grades of neurologic impairment in others groups were improved obviously than sham-operation group (P<0.01); 3 d, and 7 d after reperfusion, grades of neurologic impairment inDanlong XingnaoFormula groups were obviously lower compared with model group (P<0.05,P<0.01). Brdu positive cell rates in others groups increased obviously compared with sham-operation group; Compared with model group, Brdu positive cell rates inDanlong XingnaoFormula groups increased obviously (P<0.01). The expressions of c-jun and c-myc protein and mRNA inDanlong XingnaoFormula groups improved obviously than sham-operation group and model group (P<0.01).ConclusionDanlong Xingnao Formula can improve the neural function after cerebral ischemia and stimulate the proliferation of NSCs, and the mechanism may be related to activating the expression of c-jun and c-myc and extending the duration.
