Platonin possesses potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidative capacities. Because systemic inflammation and oxidative stress are crucial in mediating sepsis-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity loss, this study elucidated the effects of platonin on preserving BBB integrity in septic rats.
A total of 72 adult male rats (200-250 g) were randomized to receive cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), CLP plus platonin, sham operation, or sham operation plus platonin (n = 18 in each group). Systemic inflammation and oxidation levels and BBB integrity in the surviving rats were determined after 24-hour monitoring.
Plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and malondialdehyde (MDA)-markers of systemic inflammation and oxidation-and the grading of Evans blue staining of the brains, BBB permeability to Evans blue dye, and brain edema levels-markers of BBB integrity-in rats that received CLP were significantly higher than rats that received sham operation (all p < 0.001). By contrast, the plasma levels of IL-6 (p < 0.001) and MDA (p < 0.001), and the grading of Evans blue staining (p = 0.015), BBB permeability to Evans blue dye (p = 0.043), and brain edema levels (p = 0.034) in rats that received CLP plus platonin were significantly lower than rats that received CLP. Experimental data further revealed that the concentration of tight junction protein claudin-5, a major structural component of BBB, in rats that received CLP was significantly lower than rats that received CLP plus platonin (p = 0.023).
Platonin could attenuate sepsis-induced BBB integrity loss in rats.
普拉托宁具有强大的抗炎和抗氧化能力。由于全身炎症和氧化应激在介导脓毒症诱导的血脑屏障(BBB)完整性丧失中起关键作用,本研究阐明了普拉托宁对脓毒症大鼠血脑屏障完整性的保护作用。
将72只成年雄性大鼠(200 - 250克)随机分为接受盲肠结扎穿孔术(CLP)、CLP加普拉托宁、假手术或假手术加普拉托宁组(每组n = 18)。24小时监测后,测定存活大鼠的全身炎症和氧化水平以及血脑屏障完整性。
接受CLP的大鼠血浆中白细胞介素 - 6(IL - 6)和丙二醛(MDA)水平(全身炎症和氧化的标志物)以及脑伊文思蓝染色分级、血脑屏障对伊文思蓝染料的通透性和脑水肿水平(血脑屏障完整性的标志物)均显著高于接受假手术的大鼠(所有p < 0.001)。相比之下,接受CLP加普拉托宁的大鼠血浆中IL - 6(p < 0.001)和MDA(p < 0.001)水平,以及伊文思蓝染色分级(p = 0.015)、血脑屏障对伊文思蓝染料的通透性(p = 0.043)和脑水肿水平(p = 0.034)均显著低于接受CLP的大鼠。实验数据进一步显示,接受CLP的大鼠血脑屏障主要结构成分紧密连接蛋白claudin - 5的浓度显著低于接受CLP加普拉托宁的大鼠(p = 0.023)。
普拉托宁可减轻脓毒症诱导的大鼠血脑屏障完整性丧失。
