目的 评价乳化异氟醚预处理对大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注时海马CA1区神经元凋亡的影响.方法 健康成年雄性SD大鼠48只,体重250～300 g,月龄4～6月,采用随机数字表法,将大鼠随机分为6组(n=8),假手术组(S组)腹腔注射生理盐水10.5 ml/kg,24 h后只分离血管,不置入线栓;缺血再灌注组(I/R组)和乳化异氟醚预处理组(EI组)分别腹腔注射生理盐水或8%乳化异氟醚10.5 ml/kg(120 mg/ml);LY294002+乳化异氟醚预处理组(L+EI组)缺血侧侧脑室注射LY294002(磷脂酰肌醇-3激酶特异性抑制剂)25 mmol/L 5 μl,30 min后腹腔注射8%乳化异氟醚10.5 ml/kg;LY294002组(L组)和DMSO(LY294002溶剂)组缺血侧侧脑室注射LY294002 25 mmol/L(5 μl)或DMSO 5 μl.于给 药后24 h采用大脑中动脉缺血2 h恢复再灌注的方法制备局灶性脑缺血再灌注模型.于再灌注24 h时行神经功能缺陷评分,检测海马CA1区神经元凋亡情况和磷酸化丝氨酸-苏氨酸蛋白激酶(p-Akt)表达,观察海马CA1区病理学改变.结果 与S组比较,其余各组神经功能缺陷评分、凋亡细胞计数升高.p-Akt表达上调(P＜0.05);与I/R组比较,EI组神经功能缺陷评分、凋亡细胞计数降低,p-Akt表达上调(P＜0.05),L+EI组、L组、DMSO组上述各指标差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05);与EI组比较,L+EI组神经功能缺陷评分、凋亡细胞计数升高,p-Akt表达下调(P＜0.05).EI组病理学损伤程度明显轻于I/R组,L+EI组、L组、DMSO组与I/R组相似.结论 乳化异氟醚预处理可减少大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注时海马CA1区神经元凋亡,其神经元保护作用与PI3K/Akt通路激活有关.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the effect of preconditioning with emulsified isoflurane (eISO) on neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal CA1 region induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight healthy adult male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 8 each): sham operation group (group S); I/R group; eISO + I/R group (group EI); LY294002 (a specific PI3K inhibitor) + eISO + I/R group (group L+ EI); LY294002 + I/R group (group L) and DMSO (solvent for LY294002) + I/R group (group DMSO). Focal cerebral I/R was induced by 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion ( MCAO). A nylon thread (0.26 mm in diameter) with rounded tip was inserted into internal carotid artery and advanced cranially until resistance was met (depth of insertion about 18-20 mm) . eISO 10.5 ml/kg (120 mg/ml) was injected intraperitoneally (IP) in groups EI and L+ EI. LY294002 (25 mmol/L) 5 pi was injected into cerebral ventricle on the ischemic side in group L + EI ( at 30 min before eISO) and group L. DMSO 5 μl was injected into the cerebral ventricle on ischemic side before MCAO in group DMSO. Neurologic deficit was assessed and scored (0 = normal, 4 = unconscious) at 24 h of reperfusion. The animals were then killed and their brains were removed for detection of neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL) and p-Akt expression (by immuno-histochemistry) in hippocampal CA1 region. Results Cerebral I/R significantly increased the neurologic deficit scores, the number of apoptotic cells and p-Akt expression in group I/R as compared with group S. Preconditioning with elSO attenuated the I/R-induced increase in neurologic deficit scores and number of apoptotic cells but further increased p-Akt expression. The neuroprotective effect of eISO preconditioning against I/R-induced changes was counteracted by LY294002. Conclusion eISO preconditioning can attenuate focal cerebral I/R-induced neuronal apoptosis in rats by activating PI3K/Akt pathway.
