International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;19(8):620-624
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is an important subtype of cerebrovascular disease. It is also one of the major reasons for resulting in vascular cognitive impairment or dementia in the elderly. SVD is a small arteriovenous lesion in subcortex caused by a variety of causes, mainly causing subcortical lacunar infarction, white matter damage, microblecds and other pathological changes. There is evidence that vascular endothelial function and blood-brain barrier damage may result in small vessel structures and perivascular changes, which may be the initial factors.of causing SVD. Genetic susceptibility is also one of the risk factors that can not be ignored.

Objective To evaluate the role of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on ehromo-some ten (PTEN) protein in sevoflurane postconditioning-induced mitigation of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury via activating PI3K/Akt pathway in rats.Methods One hundred and eight Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 2-3 months,weighing 250-280 g,were randomly assigned into 6 groups (n =18 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group I/R,I/R + sevoflurane postconditioning group (group I/R + S),I/R + normal saline group (group I/R + NS),I/R + selective PTEN inhibitor pic group (group I/R + P),and I/R + pic + sevofluraue postconditioning group (group I/R + P+ S).Focal cerebral I/R was induced by right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal chloral hydrate.In I/R + P and I/R + P + S group,pic 20 μg/100 g (0.4 ml/100 g) was injected intraperitoneally every 3 h for 4 times before MCAO,and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of pic in I/R + NS group.The rats in all sevoflurane postconditioning groups inhaled 2.5 % sevoflurane for 30 min starting from the onset of reperfusion,and the rats in the other groups inhaled oxygen for 30 min instead.At 24 h of reperfusion,neurological deficit scores (NDSs) were measured and the rats were then sacrificed.Their brains were removed for determination of infarct size (by TTC),cell apoptosis (by TUNEL),and expression of phosphorylated PTEN (p-PTEN) protein and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) (by Western blot).Apoptosis index was calculated.Results Compared with S group,the NDSs,percentage of cerebral infarct size and apoptosis index were significantly increased,and the expression of p-Akt and p-PTEN protein was up-regulated in the other 5 groups.Compared with I/R and I/R + NS groups,the NDSs,percentage of cerebral infarct size and apoptosis index were significantly decreased,and the expression of p-Akt and p-PTEN protein was up-regulated in I/R + S,I/R + P and I/R + P + S groups.There were no significant changes in the parameters mentioned above between I/R + S,I/R + P and I/R + P + S groups,and between I/R and I/R + NS groups.Conclusion Sevoflurane postconditioning can activate PI3K/Akt pathway via inhibiting PTEN protein,thus mitigating focal cerebral I/R injury in rats.
