Objective To investigate the protective function and its mechanisms of eyclosporin A to immature brain tissue with convulsive brain damage. Methods 21-day-old SD rats were given lithium-pilocarpine to make the epilepsy model. Total 67 male rats had been investigated. Cyclosporin A (CsA) were injected three times at 6, 30, 54 hrs after model had been established. Three dosages had been chosen: 5, 10 and 25 mg/kg each time. The level of apoptotic cells, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in CA1 area of hippocampus had been determined, and compared with the rats without giving CsA. Results Rats from epilepsy model group had higher level of apoptosis, P-gp, GFAP expression than those from pseudo-model group. CsA injection by dose 5 mg/kg each time for three times reduced the level of P-gp, GFAP. Model group and pseudo-model group were same. Both the interventions of CsA injection by 10 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg can reduce the level of P-gp, GFAP, however neither of their effectiveness was better than CsA 5 mg/kg each time. Conclusions Small dosage of CsA may protect the immature brain tissue from convulsive brain damage by reducing the level of P-gp, GFAP in CA1 area of hippocampus.

Objective To explore the mechanism of insulin resistance regulated by fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21)and identify its role in oxidative stress.Methods High-fat diet-induced obese mice were treated with FGF21 ,and hepatic oxidative stress markers such as iNOS and insulin signaling molecules such as IRS-1 and Akt were assessed by Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation.Meanwhile,liver steatosis was assessed in liver sections stained with oil red O.Results Obese mice in FGF21 group showed reduced body weight,blood glucose and serum insulin levels,and improved insulin sensitivity as measured by glucose tolerance testing (GTT)and insulin tolerance testing (ITT)compared with obese mice in vehicle group.Meanwhile,FGF21 treatment in obese mice decreased protein expressions of iNOS and TNF-α,and increased insulin-stimulated IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and Akt Ser-473 phosphorylation,indicating that FGF21 inhibited hepatic oxidative stress and restored impaired insulin signaling.Additionally,we found significantly reduced lipid accumulation in liver sections stained with oil red O in FGF21-treated obese mice.Conclusion Our results support the notion that FGF21 is an important regulator of insulin resistance and that FGF21 may reduce lipid accumulation in the liver,restore hepatic insulin signaling and improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice,at least in part,by inhibiting hepatic oxidative stress.Therefore,FGF21 has a potential value in clinical application.
