OBJECTIVE:

This study mainly observed the changes in Intersectin-1 (ITSN-1) expression in rat brain tissue after ischemia-reperfusion intervened by Dicyclopentadiene.

METHODS:

SD rats were randomly divided into non-middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion model group (normal group, sham operation group) and Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) model group [Ischemia reperfusion (cerebral ischemia reperfusion)] reperfusion,IR) (6h, 24h, 72h, 1w, 2w) group, butylphthalein intervention group], First of all, Use Western The expression of ITSN-1 in the cerebral tissue of infarction side after ischemia-reperfusion injury in each group was measured by blotting, and then the loss and degree of nerve function after ischemia-reperfusion injury in each group was evaluated by Zea-Longa scoring method. The morphological changes of cells in the ischemic penumbra region in the normal group and the MCAO model group for 24h were observed by HE staining. Next, 24h was selected as the reperfusion point for intervention with butylphthalein sodium chloride injection. Finally, Zea-Longa scoring method was used to evaluate whether the rats had neurological impairment and its degree, TTC (Triphenyltetrazolium chloride) staining was used to determine whether the rats had cerebral infarction and its extent, and Western The expression of ITSN-1 in the cerebral tissue of infarcted rats after ischemia-reperfusion injury was measured by blotting.

RESULTS:

1. Zea-Longa scoring Scores, except for the normal group and sham operation group (which scored 0), ranged between 2.75 ± 0.46 in the ischemia-reperfusion 24h group and 1.88 ± 0.35 in the Dicyclopentadiene intervention group, showing statistically significant decreases (P<0.05). 2. HE staining

results:

The cell structures in the brain tissues of normal group rats were normal with regular nuclear shapes and sizes. There were no obvious abnormal changes. Rats in the ischemia-reperfusion 24h group showed obviously swollen cells, reduced and aggregated nucleus, and cell necrosis in the ischemic penumbra. 3. TTC staining

results:

Except for the normal group and the sham operation group, which had no infarcts, the ischemia-reperfusion 24h group had the largest volume ratio of cerebral infarction. The volume ratio of cerebral infarction in the Dicyclopentadiene intervention group relatively reduced, making a difference with statistical significance (P<0.05). 4. Western blotting

results:

After cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats, ITSN-1 expression in the infarction-side brain tissue dynamically changed. ITSN-1 expression in the ischemia-reperfusion 24h group was significantly lower among other groups compared to the normal group (P<0.05). After 24 hours, the expression gradually increased after using Dicyclopentadiene intervention, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION:

After cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats, ITSN-1 expression dynamically changed in the infarction-side brain tissue. Dicyclopentadiene can alleviate ischemia-reperfusion injuries in rats, which might be related to the regulation of ITSN-1 expression.
