中枢八肽胆囊收缩素对大鼠局部脑缺血/再灌注损伤的影响

目的:探讨八肽胆囊收缩素(CCK-8)对局部脑缺血/再灌注损伤的影响及其可能机制。方法:采用线栓法大鼠局部脑缺血再灌注模型,观察侧脑室(icv)注射CCK-8或其受体拮抗剂-丙谷胺对脑缺血1h再灌注24h大鼠脑梗死体积、局部脑血流量(rCBF)、不同脑区一氧化氮(NO)、丙二醛(MDA)含量的影响。结果:(1)脑缺血前给予不同剂量的CCK-8均可缩小脑梗死体积,但只有CCK-8剂量为1.0μg、2.0μg时这种差别才有显著性(均P＜0.05)。预先给予丙谷胺可完全拮抗CCK-8的作用;单纯给予丙谷胺可加重脑缺血损伤。(2)CCK-8可显著抑制脑缺血/再灌注损伤引起的梗死区、半暗区NO水平的升高;抑制梗死区MDA含量的增加(P＜0.05);再灌注24h时,CCK-8组rCBF显著高于正常值(P＜0.05)。结论:中枢内、外源性CCK-8均具有减轻局部脑缺血/再灌注损伤的作用,其机制可能和抑制脑缺血或再灌注时的自由基损伤及增加rCBF有关。

Effect of cholecystokinin-octapeptide on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

AIM:To examine the effect of cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and its underlying mechanisms.METHODS:By using the suture model of focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of CCK-8 and proglumide, nonselective CCK receptors antagonist, on the infarct size, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), and the levels of nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) were observed in different brain regions of rats subjected to 1 h focal cerebral ischemia followed by 24 h reperfusion.RESULTS:(1) pretreatment with different doses of CCK-8 (0.3 μg,1.0 μg,2.0 μg or 4.0 μg) could attenuate the infarct size, but the statistically significant effects of CCK-8 were obtained only at the doses of 1.0 μg and 2.0 μg(P＜0.05). The neuroprotective effects of CCK-8 were blocked by pretreatment with proglumide. Administration of proglumide alone could worsen the ischemia/reperfusion injury. (2) CCK-8 (1.0 μg) inhibited the increase in NO, MDA levels in the ischemic core, and also inhibited the increase in NO level in the ischemic penumbra. The rCBF in the CCK-8 group was significantly higher than the normal value at 24 h after reperfusion (P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest that both endogenous and exogenous CCK-8 alleviate focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Such an action may be associated with inhibition of free radical-induced injuries and the improvement in rCBF.
