Effects of Yangxue Qingnao Granule on RGMa expression and axonal regeneration in rats with focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion
Objective To determine the effect of Yangxue Qingnao Granule
a drug based on traditional Chinese medicine
on axonal regeneration in rats after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion and investigate its potential mechanism. Methods Forty-eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (SD) were randomly divided into sham-operation group
cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group
vehicle group and Yangxue Qingnao Granule treatment group. After the establishment of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion
Yangxue Qingnao Granule was given the rats at 2 g/kg (i.g.)
once per day for 2 weeks. The expression of repulsive guidance molecular A (RGMa) was detected by immunohistochemical assay and Western blotting. NF-200 immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate axonal regeneration. Neurological function recovery was evaluated by modified neurological severity score (mNSS) at 2
7
14 and 28 d after ischemic reperfusion. Results The expression of RGMa at protein level in ischemic cortex and hippocampus was significantly lower (P0.01)
but that of NF-200 was increased (P0.05) in treatment group than cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group. The rats in Yangxue Qingnao Granule group exhibited a better neurological function recovery (P0.05). Conculsion Yangxue Qingnao Granule improves neurological function recovery after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats
which may be due to its down-regulating RGMa and promoting axonal regeneration.
