Dexmedetomidine protects cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting microglial activation
To investigate the protective effect and underlying mechanism of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
Methods
2
Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group
I/R group and Dex treatment group
with 20 animals in each group. Rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was adopted. The neurological function was evaluated
and the pathological changes
apoptotic ratio of nerve cells in penumbra
activation ratio of microglia in penumbra and level of TNF-α in the infarct cerebral cortical homogenate of each group were detected. Mouse microglial BV2 cells were randomly divided into control group
oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) group
1 μmol/L Dex+OGD/R group
10 μmol/L Dex+OGD/R group. The concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant and the protein levels of CD68
NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 in the BV2 cells were detected.
Results
2
Compared with the I/R group
the neurological function score was reduced (
P
<
0.05)
pathological damage in the cerebral cortex was attenuated
and the apoptosis ratio of nerve cells (
P
<
0.05)
activation ratio of microglia (
P
<
0.05) and concentration of TNF-α (
P
<
0.05) in the cerebral cortical homogenate were decreased in the Dex+I/R group. Compared with the OGD/R group
Dex treatment decreased the concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant (
P
<
0.05)
but only 10 μmol/L Dex decreased the expression of CD68 and p-NF-κB p65 in the BV2 cells (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Dex exerts protective effect against cerebral I/R injury by inhibiting microglial activation
which may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway in microglia.
