Abstract:
AIM: To investigate the changes of expression of Nogo-A at different time points in brain ischemic infarct rats.METHODS: The model of 80 cases of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) in rats was established.The expression of Nogo-A mRNA and protein were determined by Western blotting and hybridization,and the relationship between functional scoring and Nogo-A was also evaluated.RESULTS: In the brain of MCAO rats,Nogo-A mRNA expression was decreased on day 3 and increased significantly on day 7.The highest level was observed at the 21th d,keeping the same level at the 28th d.Nogo-A protein expression showed the same results.These results were correlated with the brain function scoring.CONCLUSION: Expression of Nogo-A does not increase in the early stage,but increases significantly in the late stage of MCAO,suggesting that Nogo-A expression may play an important role in the nerve regeneration of brain ischemic injury.
