Objective To ascertain the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) reducing neuronic apoptosis. Methods The animal models of the right middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion was established by suture method in adult wistar rats. The bFGF(100μg/kg) in physiological saline
or physiological saline alone
was injected intraperitoneally immediately after cerebral ischemia
then once daily
for 7 days.We measured brain apoptotic cells exhibiting DNA fragmentation in paraffin sections with the method of a terminal deoxynucleotidylltransferase(TdT)- mediated dUTP- fluorescein nick end- labelling (TUNEL) after ischemia 2 hour/reperfusion for the first
second
third
fifth and seventh day. Results There were 0~8 apoptotic cells per section in normal or sham-operated groups. After cerebral ischemia/reperfusion
the apoptotic neuron number increased significantly in the ischemic region. After 48h
the apoptotic nouron decreased gradually
up to the seventh day
there were also apoptotic neuron. The number of apoptotic neurons in the bFGF- treated group differed signifficantly from that in the non-treated control group (P<0.05). Conclusion This study suggested that ischemia/reperfusion may induce neuronic apoptosis and bFGF shows the effect of reducing neuronic apoptosis.
