摘要: 目的 探讨大脑中动脉内低剂量促红细胞生成素(erythropoietin, EPO)或联合组织纤溶酶原激活剂(tissue plasminogen activator, tPA) 注射是否有神经保护作用及对内质网应激通路的影响。方法 将60只成年雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠采用数字表法随机分为5组,假手术(sham)组、大脑中动脉栓塞(middle cerebral artery occlusion, MCAO)模型对照组、EPO组、tPA组及EPO联合tPA组,线栓法制备右侧大脑中动脉缺血2 h/再灌注24 h模型,在缺血2 h/再灌注即刻通过大脑中动脉单独注射EPO(800 IU/kg)、tPA(10 mg/kg)以及联合注射EPO(800 IU/kg)及tPA (10 mg/kg)。再灌注24 h后评价神经功能缺损,测定梗死体积,检测C/EBP 同源蛋白(C/EBP-homologous protein, CHOP)及磷酸化的真核起始因子(phosphorylated form of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α, p-eIF2α)的表达。结果 与MCAO模型组相比,EPO、tPA+EPO可以显著减小大鼠脑缺血/再灌注(ischemia/reperfusion, I/R)后的梗死体积,改善神经功能,并显著降低微血管和脑组织中p-eIF2α和CHOP的表达,但单独给予tPA没有作用;与tPA组相比,tPA+EPO可以显著减小梗死体积、改善神经功能,并显著降低微血管和脑组织中p-eIF2α和CHOP的表达。免疫荧光显示,CHOP与末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导的缺口末端标记法(terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling, TUNEL)有共定位。结论 在再灌注即刻通过大脑中动脉内注射低剂量EPO或者低剂量EPO联合tPA可以减轻脑I/R损伤,可能与EPO抑制内质网应激,从而减少神经细胞凋亡有关。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of intra-arterial infusion of erythropoietin alone or in combination with tissue plasminogen activator on rats following focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, and examine whether the effects are dependent on endoplasmic reticulum stress. Methods Sixty male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operation (sham), untreated control rats (ischemic animals), erythropoietin(EPO)-treated (onset of reperfusion, 800IU/kg), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-treated (onset of reperfusion, 10 mg/kg)and EPO+tPA-treated rats. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was induced by occluding the right middle cerebral artery. Infarct size, neurological deficits, and the levels of phosphorylated form of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α(p-eIF2α) and C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) were measured at 24 hours after reperfusion. Results Compared with the control animals, EPO alone (P<0.05) or in combination with tPA (P<0.05) significantly decreased infarct volume, lessened defective degree of neurological function, and reduced expression levels of p-eIF2α and CHOP. tPA+EPO(P<0.05) significantly decreased infarct volume, lessened defective degree of neurological function, and reduced expression levels of p-eIF2α and CHOP when compared with the tPA-treated animals. Immunofluorescent staining revealed co-localization of CHOP and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) in cerebral cortical neurons. Conclusion Based on our data, treatment with EPO or EPO + tPA at the onset of reperfusion by intra-arterial infusion may be considered as a useful candidate to alleviate I/R injury and the potential mechanism underlying the role of EPO in a transient focal cerebral ischemia model in rats may be attributable to suppression of endoplasmic reticulum stress, which preserve neuronal cell viability and attenuate behavioral deficits.
