地塞米松对脑损伤大鼠核转录因子-κB水平的影响

Objective To explore the effects of dexamethasone on nuclear factor-kB (NF-κB) expression in brain tissue after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into two groups: dexamethasone treatment and no treatment, and severe brain injury was produced by gas percussion in both groups. At 0, 6, 24, 72 and 120 hours after injury, 5 rats of each group were executed and the histopathological changes in brain tissue in rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stain. The expression of NF-κB in brain tissue of rats was detected by immunohistochemical method. Results NF-κB expression was significantly up-regulated at 6 hours in brain tissue of rats after TBI (P<0.05), reaching the highest level at 24 hours (P<0. 01). It showed a tendency to lower, but was still high at 120 hours after TBI (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). After treatment with dexamethasone, NF-κB level was lowered at 6, 24 and 72 hours (all P<0. 01). Conclusion NF-κB expression is up-regulated in brain tissue in early period after TBI, and keeps on a high level, thus inducing inflammatory response to produce secondary injury to brain tissue. Dexamethasone shows protective effects by regulating the levels of NF-κB and prevents secondary injury which is caused by the inflammatory cytokines in rat brain tissue after TBI.

脊髓损伤大鼠核因子kappa B与细胞凋亡及肢体功能间的相关性分析

Objective To investigate the relationship of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB),Bcl-2 and Bax with limb function after acute spinal cord injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight rats were divided at random into a control group and an experimental group with 24 rats in each.The spinal cords of the rats in the experimental group were injured at the T8,9,10 level through moderate compression.Four hours,8 h,and 1,3,7 and 14 days after the injury,4 rats were selected randomly from each group and graded with a BBB score.They were then sacrificed and their spinal cords were collected.Immunohistochemical measurements were used to observe the expression of NF-κB, Bcl-2 and Bax. Results NF-κB,Bcl-2 and Bax were observed in the injured spinal nerve cells of rats in the exper imental group but were absent in the control group.After injury,the expression of these factors increased at first and then decreased.BBB scores for limb function increased gradually.No correlation was found between the changes in NF-κB and Bcl-2,but the expression of NF-κB was positively correlated with that of Bax.There was negative correla tion between NF-kB levels and BBB scores,and between NF-kB levels and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax. Conclusion In rats,there is a close negative correlation between NF-kappa B levels,the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax and limb function after acute spinaI cord iujury.
