Responses of selected neuroregulatory proteins that promote (Caspase 3 and Bax) or inhibit (Bcl-2, high Bcl-2/Bax ratio) apoptotic cell death were measured in the brain of piglets subjected to precisely controlled hypoxic and ischemic insults: 1 h hypoxia (decreasing FiO₂ from 21 to 6%) or ischemia (ligation of carotid arteries and hemorrhage), followed by 0, 2 and 4 h recovery with 21% FiO₂. Protein expression was measured in cortex, hippocampus and striatum by Western blot. There were no significant differences in expression of Caspase-3 between sham operated, hypoxic and ischemic groups. There were significant regional differences in expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in response to hypoxia and ischemia. The changes in Bcl-2/Bax ratio were similar for hypoxia and ischemia except for striatum at zero time recovery, with ischemia giving lower ratios than hypoxia. The Bcl-2/Bax ratio was also lower for the striatum than for the other regions of the brain, suggesting this region is the more susceptible to apoptotic injury.
在接受精确控制的缺氧和缺血性损伤的仔猪的大脑中,测量了促进(Caspase 3 和 Bax)或抑制(Bcl-2、高 Bcl-2/Bax 比值)细胞凋亡的选定神经调节蛋白的反应:1 小时缺氧(将 FiO₂从 21%降低至 6%)或缺血(颈动脉结扎和出血),然后在 21% FiO₂下恢复 0、2 和 4 小时。通过 Western blot 在皮质、海马体和纹状体中测量蛋白表达。在假手术、缺氧和缺血组之间 Caspase-3 的表达没有显著差异。Bcl-2 和 Bax 的表达在缺氧和缺血反应中存在显著的区域差异。Bcl-2/Bax 比值的变化对于缺氧和缺血是相似的,除了在零时间恢复的纹状体,缺血的比值低于缺氧。Bcl-2/Bax 比值对于纹状体也低于大脑的其他区域,表明该区域更容易受到凋亡损伤。
