Buyang-Huanwu decoction attenuates rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting autophagy of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells
摘要
Abstract
AIM:This study aims to investigate the protective effect of Buyang-Huanwu decoction(BYHWD)on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIRI)in rats,focusing on its role in regulating the autophagy of cerebral micro-vascular endothelial cells(BMECs).METHODS:(1)We established a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion/re-perfusion(MCAO/R)and divided the subjects into four groups:sham group,model(MCAO/R)group,BYHWD group,and 3-n-butylphthalide(NBP)group.Neurological deficits were assessed using the Zea Longa score,while the volume of cerebral infarction was measured through 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.Pathological damage in the ischemic penumbra was evaluated using HE staining,and blood-brain barrier(BBB)permeability was assessed by Evans blue(EB)staining.The ultrastructure of BMECs was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy,and the co-expres-sion and positive cell rate of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3)in BMECs were determined through im-munofluorescence double staining.Additionally,the protein expression levels of ZO-1,claudin-5 and occludin in the cor-tical region of the ischemic penumbra in rats were examined using Western blot analysis.(2)A rat BMEC model of oxy-gen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)was also established.Rat BMECs were categorized into normal control(CON),OGD/R,dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO),rapamycin and 3-methyladenine groups to observe autophagy levels by monodansylcadaverine(MDC)staining.Furthermore,rat BMECs were divided into CON,OGD/R,BYHWD-containing serum(BHDS)and NBP groups.The cell autophagy was assessed by MDC staining and Western blot,while cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay.RESULTS:(1)The rats in MCAO/R group exhibited significantly higher neurological scores(P<0.01)and increased cerebral infarction volumes(P<0.01)compared with sham group.Severe damage in the ischemic penumbra was observed,characterized by disordered tissue structure,widened intercellular spaces,and compro-mised cellular integrity.The EB dye permeability was notably elevated(P<0.01),and BMECs showed structural destruc-tion,including damaged cell membranes,swollen Golgi apparatus,dilated endoplasmic reticulum vesicles,and damaged mitochondria.The ratio of LC3+CD31+/CD31+and the protein levels of ZO-1,claudin-5 and occludin were significantly el-evated(P<0.01).In contrast,the rats in BYHWD and NBP groups demonstrated lower neurological scores(P<0.01)and reduced cerebral infarction volumes(P<0.01).Furthermore,EB permeability decreased(P<0.01),BMEC morphol-ogy improved,and the protein expression levels of ZO-1,claudin-5 and occludin increased(P<0.05).(2)Rat BMECs in OGD/R group had a significantly elevated autophagy level compared with CON group(P<0.01),with increased expres-sion of LC3 and beclin-1 proteins and decreased level of P62 protein(P<0.05).Notably,the cells in BHDS and NBP groups displayed decreased autophagy level compared with OGD/R group,with increased cell viability(P<0.01),re-duced LC3 and beclin-1 protein expression,and increased P62 protein expression(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Buyang-Huanwu decoction alleviates cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by inhibiting the autophagy of cerebral microvas-cular endothelial cells.关键词
