Objective:To investigate the neuroprotective role of hemin and its effect on the expression of neuroglobin in the hippocampal organotypic tissue cultures(HOTC)after combined oxygen/glucose deprivation(OGD).Methods:SD rats
8~10-days old
were sacri-ficed for brain.HOTC were made and randomly divided into three groups:HOTC
HOTC undergoing OGD(OGD)
HOTC under- going OGD following pretreatment with hemin(Hemin+OGD). The expression of neuroglobin was detected by immunohisto-chemical technique and computer-assisted image analysis.Results:In OGD group
hippocampal organotypic tissue lost normal structure and neurons were damaged severely.Pretreatment with hemin could effectively reverse the damage of the neurons.The expression of neu- roglobin in the Hemin+OGD group were significantly stronger than that in the OGD group.Conclusion:Hemin has protective effect on injury induced by OGD in rat hippaocampal slices
which is associated with enhanced expression of neuroglobin.
