Reperfusion therapy is an effective way to rescue cerebral ischemic injury, but this therapy also shows the detrimental risk of devastating disorders and death due to the possible inflammatory responses involved in the pathologies. Hence, the therapy of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a great challenge currently. Isorhynchophylline (IRN), a tetracyclic oxindole alkaloid extracted from , has previously shown neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in microglial cells. This study systematically investigates the effect of IRN on I/R injury and its underlying mechanism. The effects of IRN on neuronal injury and microglia-mediated inflammatory response were assessed on a rat model with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion-induced injury. We found that IRN treatment attenuated the infarct volume and improved the neurological function in I/R injury rats. IRN treatment also reduced the neuronal death rate, brain water content, and aquaporin-4 expression in the ischemic penumbra of I/R injury rats' brains. Besides, IRN treatment could inhibit the following process, including IκB-α degradation, NF-κB p65 activation, and CX3CR1 expression, as well as the microglial activation and inflammatory response. These findings suggest that IRN is a promising candidate to treat the cerebral I/R injury via inhibiting microglia activation and neuroinflammation.
再灌注疗法是挽救脑缺血损伤的有效方法,但由于该疗法可能涉及病理过程中的炎症反应,也存在引发严重紊乱和死亡的有害风险。因此,缺血/再灌注(I/R)损伤的治疗目前是一项巨大挑战。异钩藤碱(IRN)是从[具体植物]中提取的一种四环氧化吲哚生物碱,先前已在小胶质细胞中显示出神经保护和抗炎作用。本研究系统地探讨了IRN对I/R损伤的影响及其潜在机制。在大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)和再灌注诱导损伤的大鼠模型上评估了IRN对神经元损伤和小胶质细胞介导的炎症反应的影响。我们发现,IRN治疗可减轻I/R损伤大鼠的梗死体积并改善神经功能。IRN治疗还降低了I/R损伤大鼠脑缺血半暗带的神经元死亡率、脑含水量和水通道蛋白-4表达。此外,IRN治疗可抑制以下过程,包括IκB-α降解、NF-κB p65激活和CX3CR1表达,以及小胶质细胞激活和炎症反应。这些发现表明,IRN有望通过抑制小胶质细胞激活和神经炎症来治疗脑I/R损伤。
