摘要: 摘要:目的 探讨 β-七叶皂苷钠对颅脑创伤(TBI)大鼠脑水肿的保护作用。方法 筛选成年雄性 SD 大鼠 78 只,按随机数字表法分为假手术(Sham)组、颅脑创伤(TBI)组、β-七叶皂苷钠组,每组 26 只。Sham 组仅开骨窗不做 处理;TBI 组和 β-七叶皂苷钠组开骨窗后采用电子脑皮质损伤撞击仪(eCCI)建立大鼠 TBI 模型,其中 TBI 组只建模 但不干预,β-七叶皂苷钠组建立模型后即刻给予腹腔注射 β-七叶皂苷钠(5 mg/kg),每 24 h 重复给药 1 次。损伤后 48 h 采用改良神经功能缺损评分(mNSS)观察 TBI 神经功能改变,伤后 48 h 处死大鼠并取脑组织行 HE 染色(n=6); 采用干/湿比重法测定脑组织含水量变化(n=10);采用伊文思蓝染色(EB)检测血脑屏障(BBB)通透性(n=4);采用免 疫印迹(Western-blot)法检测水通道蛋白 4(AQP4,n=6)的表达水平。结果 与 Sham 组比较,TBI 大鼠神经功能受 损,脑组织含水量增加,BBB 被破坏,AQP4 蛋白表达升高;而 β-七叶皂苷钠可改善 TBI 大鼠的神经功能受损程度, 降低脑组织含水量,改善 BBB 通透性,并显著降低 AQP4 表达水平(均 P<0.05)。结论 β-七叶皂苷钠对 TBI 大鼠 有脑保护作用,可显著改善大鼠受损的神经功能,降低伤后脑水肿,改善 BBB 通透性,其机制可能与下调 AQP4 的表 达有关。

Abstract: Abstract: Objective To explore the neuroprotective effects of β-Aescinate on brain edema in traumatic brain injury (TBI) mice. Method A total of 78 male SD rats (Sprague Dawley Rat) were randomly divided into three groups:sham-operation group (Sham), traumatic brain injury group (TBI), β-Aescinate group, with 18 rats in each. (n=26 per group). The Sham-operated animals were anesthetized and surgically prepared only,but were not induced by cortical contusion;TBI group and β-Aescinate group using eCCI establish TBI model after skullcap was carefully removed, TBI group only establish TBI model,but no deal with; The TBI model of β-Aescinate group was established, and thenβ-Aescinate (5 mg/kg body weight) via intraperitoneal injection,one times per 24 hours. Each of measurement was performed after 48 hours, Neurological function were evaluated by modified neurological severity scores (mNSS); SD rats were sacrificed at 24 h after TBI and stained using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)(n=6); Additionally, the cerebral edema was evaluated from the water content of the brain tissue using the wet-to-dry weight ratio(n=10); and Evans Blue assay were performed to investigate the neurologic deficit, cer- ebral water content (n=8);and blood-brain barrier permeability (BBB) (n=4) ;and the of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was measured by Western Blot assay(n=6).Result Compared with the Sham group, TBI group were shown to neurologic deficit ,and the brain water content and the of AQP4 were increased (all P<0.05).moreover,BBB permeability is destroyed. However, β-Aescinate could improve the neurological function, reduce the brain water content, and significantly decreased the of AQP4 compared with the TBI group (all P < 0.05) BBB permeability of each treatment group was also significantly improved (all P<0.01). Conclusion These finding suggested that β-Aescinate could reduce cerebral edema and improve neurological outcome in SD rat after TBI to exert neuroprotection, through which reverses the high level of AQP4 protein.
