Effects of Gualou Guizhi Granules (栝楼桂枝颗粒) on Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Apoptosis in Brain Tissue of the Cerebral Ischemic Area of Cerebral Ischemia-reperfusion Injury Model Rats
(栝楼桂枝颗粒, GGG) in the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CI-RI).
Methods
2
Fifty-four SD rats were randomized into sham-operation group, model group and GGG group, with 18 rats in each group. The CI-RI model was established in the model group and the CI-RI group with thread occlusion to induce middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), while thread occlusion was not performed in the sham operation group. Two hours after the modelling, the sham operation group and the model group were given normal saline (10 ml/kg) by gavage, and the GGG group was administered with GGG 3.6 g/(kg·d) by gavage; the interventions in all the groups were given once daily for seven consecutive days. The modified neurological severity score (mNSS) and rotation angle test were used to assess the neurological damage in rats. TUNEL method was used to detect cell apoptosis in the brain tissue of the ischemic area, and Western blot was used to detect the relative expression of B lymphoma-2 gene (Bcl-2) related X protein (Bax), Bcl-2 and neuron specific nuclear protein (NeuN) in brain tissue. Real-Time PCR method was used to detect mRNA expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related factors in the ischemic zone including eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (elF2α), protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), endoplasmic reticulum-derived transcription factor (CHOP), activator of transcription 4 (ATF4) and glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78). Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of ATF4, CHOP, PERK, elF2α, phosphorylated elF2α (p-elF2α) and phosphorylated PERK (p-PERK) in the ischemic brain tissue of rats.
Results
2
Compared to those of the sham operation group, the mNSS score and the rotation angle rate of the model group increased; the apoptosis rate and the Bax protein expression in the brain tissue of the ischemic area increased; the Bcl-2 and NeuN protein expression decreased (
P
<0.01); the mRNA expressions of GRP78, PERK, eIF2α, CHOP, ATF4, the protein expressions of CHOP and ATF4, and the value of p-PERK/PERK and p-elF2α/elF2α all increased (
P
<0.01). Compared to those of the model group, all the above indicators of the GGG group were significantly improved (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01).
Conclusion
2
GGG can inhibit the endoplasmic reticulum stress, thereby inhibiting neuronal apoptosis after cerebral ischemia injury and then preventing the occurrence of CI-RI.
