Abstract:
AIM:To observe the effects of fasudil on inflammatory reaction in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rats.METHODS:Focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model in rats was made by transient occlusion of middle cerebral artery for 1.5 h followed by 24 h reperfusion.Fasudil was injected intraperitoneally before operation and 12 h after operation.The neurological function was scored and the infarct volume was measured after operation.The water content of brain was measured with dry-wet weight;The myeloperoxidase(MPO)activity was determined by spectrophotometer;The permeability of the blood brain barrier was evaluated by measurement of the Evans Blue(EB)content in the brain with spectrophotometer;The brain content of IL-8 was evaluated with ELISA;The level of NF-?B p65 mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR;The expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and NF-?B p65 protein were observed by immunohistochemistry;The MCP-1 and the expression of NF-?B p65 protein in the nuclear extracts were detected by western blotting.RESULTS:Fasudil improved the neurological function,decreased the infarct size,reduced the permeability of blood brain barrier and brain water content,inhibited the MPO activity,decreased the content of IL-8 and the protein expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and MCP-1 in brain tissue,inhibited the expressions of NF-?B p65 mRNA and protein and reduced the content of NF-?B p65 protein in the nuclear extracts significantly(P
