Objective To observe the influence of minocycline on the expressin of COX-2
NF-κB in the rats of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Methods Fifty-four healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group (N)
sham-operation group (NS)
minocycline group (M)
minocycline preconditioning group (MP) in which the rats were intragastrically administered with minocycline 30 min before I/R and respectively ischemia for 12 and 24 h; minocycline treatment group (MT) in which the rats were intragastrically administered with minocycline after ischemia for 12 or 24 h and reperfusion
IR group. The expressions of COX-2 and NF-κB were measured by immunohistochemistry. The light density value was measured by image analyzer. Results The light density values and cell positive rates of NF-κB and COX-2 after reperfusion in MP and MT group were significantly higher than that of in NS group (P0.01) and obviously less than that of in IR group (P0.05). Conclusion Minocycline can decrease the expression of COX-2
NF-κB in rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion to protect brain function.
