摘要
目的:探讨依达拉奉对脑创伤后神经细胞凋亡的影响及其机制。方法:雄性SD大鼠随机分为对照组、创伤组、依达拉奉组,Marmarou’s法建立弥漫性脑创伤模型。H—E染色观察皮质区神经细胞组织形态变化;免疫组织化学法和免疫印迹法检测磷酸化ERK1/2及Bax的表达;原位缺VI末端标记法(TUNEL)检测神经细胞的凋亡,并对大鼠综合运动功能进行评定。结果:与对照组比较,创伤组中皮质区部分神经细胞出现变性坏死和凋亡的改变,磷酸化ERK1/2(1、6、24、48h)和Bax(6、24、48、72h)表达水平增高;神经细胞凋亡数目(6、24、48、72h)增多;大鼠综合运动能力评分下降。与创伤组比较,依达拉奉组中脑组织形态结构损伤程度、磷酸化ERK1/2和Bax表达、神经细胞凋亡数目显著下降;大鼠的运动功能评分升高。结论:依达拉奉通过抑制ERK1/2信号途径活化,进而抑制促凋亡蛋白Bax表达,减少神经细胞凋亡,发挥对弥漫性脑创伤的保护作用。
Objective: To investigate the effect of edaravone on neuron apoptosis and potential mechanisms after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into three groups: a control group, a traumatic group, and an edaravone treatment group. The TBI model was duplicated with Marmarou's diffused brain injury meth- od. Morphological changes in the cortex were observed by H-E staining; The ERK1/2 phosphorylation (p-ERK1/2) and Bax were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot; The quantities of neuron apoptosis were observed with TUNEL method. Behavioral tests were performed. Results: Compared with the control group, some neurons displayed histopathologic changes of necrosis and apoptosis; The expressions of ERK1/2 phosphorylation (1, 6, 24, 48 h), Bax (6, 24, 48, 72 h) and the number of apoptotic neurons (6, 24, 48, 72 h) increased in the traumatic group; The neurological scores of behavior were decreased. Compared with the traumatic group, the morphological damage of brain tissue, the expressions of ERK1/2 phosphorylation and Bax, and the number of apoptotic neurons were decreased obviously in the edaravone group; Meanwhile, the neurological scores of behavior were enhanced (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Edaravone can inhibit ERK1/2 path- way activation, and then down-regulate Pax expression and reduce neuron apoptosis thus to exert the protective effect on se- vere traumatic brain injury.
