Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of Xiaoshuan enteric-coated capsule on neuronal damage and the expression of cystein-aspartate protease-3 (Caspase-3), amyloid precursor protein (APP) and β- amyloid protein (Aβ) in thalamus of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)rats. Methods The animal model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)were adopted. Xiaoshuan enteric-coated capsule(420、140、47 mg·kg-1) was given orally to rats once each day for 15 days after ischemia. The expression of Caspase-3 was detected by using immunofluorescence and APP, Aβ42 were detected by using immunohistochemistry at 15d after ischemia. Results Compared with control rats, the number of neurons was reduced and the number of Caspase-3 was added, the expression of APP and Aβ42 was increased in MCAO rats(P <0.01); The number of neurons was added and the number of Caspase-3 was reduced, the expression of APP and Aβ42 was decreased in Xiaoshuan enteric-coated capsule rats to compared with the model group(P <0.05). Conclusion Xiaoshuan enteric-coated capsule increased the number of neurons, reduced the number of Caspase-3 and decreased the expression of APP and Aβ42. As a result, Xiaoshuan enteric-coated capsule can protect the thalamus of ischemia.

Key words: Xiaoshuan enteric-coated capsule, cerebral ischemia, cystein-aspartate protease-3, amyloid precursor protein, β-amyloid protein
