■和目标:脑缺血/再灌注(I/R)损伤,全球第二大死因,涉及增加的NMDA受体活性导致神经元损伤由于过量的钠和钙离子进入。因此,靶向NMDA受体可能潜在地减少脑损伤引起的细胞死亡。我们的研究目的是探讨NMDA受体在I/R诱导的海马神经元活动中的作用。
■在这项研究中,Wistar大鼠分为四组:假,I/R,I/R+MK801和I/R+NMDA。脑I/R损伤是通过暂时阻塞颈总动脉和椎动脉引起的,其次是再灌注。在特定的再灌注时间后对大鼠施用MK801或NMDA。使用Nissl和H&E染色评估海马CA1区的神经元密度和细胞形态。BDNF的表达,p-CREB,和c-fos通过蛋白质印迹分析进行评估。此外,使用单单位记录技术检查CA1锥体神经元的神经元活性。
■我们的结果表明,与假手术组相比,脑I/R损伤对CA1锥体神经元造成了显着损伤。然而,与I/R组相比,MK-801治疗改善了海马细胞的存活率.此外,在I/R大鼠中施用MK-801增加BDNF,c-fos,和p-CREB水平,同时与I/R组相比降低切割的半胱天冬酶-3活性。此外,电生理数据显示,MK-801在再灌注阶段增加了CA1锥体神经元的放电率。
■MK-801有望通过增强细胞存活作为脑I/R损伤的治疗剂,上调神经可塑性因子,并增加CA1锥体神经元的放电率。它对脑I/R损伤具有特定的保护作用。
UNASSIGNED: & Objective: Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, the second cause of death globally, involves increased
NMDA receptor activity leading to neuronal damage due to excessive sodium and calcium ion entry. Therefore, targeting
NMDA receptor may potentially reduce cell death induced by brain injury. Our study aimed to investigate the role of
NMDA receptors in hippocampal neuronal activity induced by I/R.
UNASSIGNED: In this study, Wistar rats were divided into four groups: sham, I/R, I/R + MK801, and I/R +
NMDA. Cerebral I/R injury was induced by temporarily occluding the common and vertebral carotid arteries, followed by reperfusion. MK801 or
NMDA was administered to the rats after a specific reperfusion time. Neuronal density and cell morphology in the hippocampal CA1 region were assessed using Nissl and H&E staining. The expression of BDNF, p-CREB, and c-fos was evaluated through Western blot analysis. Additionally, neuronal activity in CA1 pyramidal neurons were examined using single unit recording technique.
UNASSIGNED: Our results showed that cerebral I/R injury caused significant damage to CA1 pyramidal neurons compared to the sham group. However, treatment with MK-801 improved hippocampal cell survival compared to the I/R group. Furthermore, MK-801 administration in I/R rats increased BDNF, c-fos, and p-CREB levels while decreasing cleaved caspase-3 activity compared to the I/R group. Additionally, electrophysiological data showed that MK-801 increased firing rates of CA1 pyramidal neurons during the reperfusion phase.
UNASSIGNED: MK-801 shows promise as a therapeutic agent for cerebral I/R injury by enhancing cell survival, upregulating neuroplasticity factors, and increasing firing rates of CA1 pyramidal neurons. It exerts a specific protective effect against cerebral I/R injury.
