摘要
背景:非化学性脑卒中是一种严重的临床疾病,难以治愈;因此,减缓ATP的消耗对于通过预处理增强缺血组织的耐受性至关重要。电针预处理诱导脑缺血耐受然而,其潜在机制尚不清楚。目的P2×7受体(P2×7R)介导小胶质细胞的刺激,参与脑缺血再灌注(I/R)损伤的发生。我们假设EA预处理的保护作用与P2×7R表达下调有关。方法以大脑中动脉闭塞模型(MCAO)为基础,建立大鼠脑I/R模型,在“百会”和“奉复”处电休克30 min。MCAO大鼠于EA前30分钟心室注射P2×7R激动剂2 '(3 ')- o -(4-苯甲酰基)三磷酸腺苷(BzATP)。脑I/R后24小时检测神经评分、梗死体积以及缺血半暗区细胞因子、Bcl-2、Bax、Iba1、P2×7R、p38和磷酸化p38 (p-p38)的表达。结果sea预处理改善了神经系统评分,减少了梗死体积,减少了神经元损伤,减少了细胞因子的释放,而BzATP则加重了脑I/R损伤和炎症事件,与EA不同,EA抑制了缺血半暗带Iba-1、P2×7R和p-p38/p38的表达,而BzATP逆转了这一作用。结论sea可通过抑制P2×7R炎症因子的表达和释放,诱导脑对I/R损伤的耐受。
Electroacupuncture protects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury via regulating P2×7R expression
Background
Ischemic stroke is a serious clinical condition that is challenging to cure; therefore, slowing down the depletion of ATP is crucial to enhancing the tolerance of ischemic tissue through preconditioning. Electroacupuncture (EA) preconditioning induces tolerance to cerebral ischemia; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
Objective
The P2×7 receptor (P2×7R) mediates the stimulation of microglial cells and is involved in the development of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) damage. We hypothesized that the protective effect of EA preconditioning is associated with the downregulation of P2×7R expression.
Methods
We performed EA at the "Baihui" and "Fengfu" for 30 min before establishing a rat model of cerebral I/R induced based on the middle cerebral artery occlusion model (MCAO). MCAO rats were administered a ventricular injection of 2 '(3′)-O-(4-benzoyl) adenosine triphosphate (BzATP), a P2×7R agonist, 30 min before EA. Neurologic scoring, infarction volume, and expression of cytokines, Bcl-2 and Bax, Iba1, P2×7R, p38, and phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) in ischemia penumbra were detected 24 h after cerebral I/R.
Results
EA preconditioning ameliorated neurologic scoring, decreased infarction volume, and neuronal injury, and decreased cytokine release, while BzATP exacerbated cerebral I/R damage and inflammation events, unlike the favorable efficacy of EA. EA inhibited the expression of Iba-1, P2×7R, and p-p38/p38 in the ischemic penumbra, whereas BzATP reversed this effect.
Conclusions
EA could induce cerebral tolerance to I/R damage by suppressing P2×7R expression and release of inflammatory factors.
