Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on hippocampal endoplasmic reticulum stress during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Seventy-two pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-320 g,aged 8-10 weeks,were divided into 3 groups (n=24 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group Sham),global cerebral I/R group (group I/R) and global cerebral I/R plus sodium hydrosulfide group (group I/R+NaHS).Cardiac arrest was induced with transoesophageal cardiac pacing followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation to establish the global cerebral I/R model.Immediately after recovery of spontaneous circulation,sodium hydrosulfide 2.5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in group I/R+NaHS,and normal saline 5 ml/kg was given in group I/R.The hippocampi were immediately removed at 24 h of reperfusion for determination of the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78),C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 in hippocampal tissues (by Western blot).At 1,3 and 7 days of reperfusion,the hippocampal tissues were obtained and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for examination of the pathological changes in hippocampal CA1 region (under a light microscope) and for determination of apoptosis in hippocampal cells (using TUNEL staining),and the apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group Sham,the apoptosis rate of hippocampal tissues at 1,3 and 7 days of reperfusion in group I/R and at 3 and 7 days of reperfusion in group I/R+NaHS were significantly increased,and the expression of GRP78,CHOP and caspase-12 in hippocampal tissues was significantly up-regulated in I/R and I/R+NaHS groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group I/R,the apoptosis rate of hippocampal tissues was significantly decreased,and the expression of GRP78,CHOP and caspase-12 was down-regulated at 1,3 and 7 days of reperfusion (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group I/R+NaHS.Conclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen sulfide reduces apoptosis in hippocampal cells is related to inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress during global cerebral I/R in rats.
