Abstract

Experimental in vivo data have recently shown complementary neuroprotective actions of rhEPO and growth hormone (rhGH) in a neonatal murine model of hypoxic brain injury. Here, we hypothesized that rhGH and rhEPO mediate stabilization of the blood−brain barrier (BBB) and regenerative vascular effects in hypoxic injury to the developing brain. Using an established model of neonatal hypoxia, neonatal mice (P7) were treated i.p. with rhGH (4000 µg/kg) or rhEPO (5000 IU/kg) 0/12/24 h after hypoxic exposure. After a regeneration period of 48 h or 7 d, cerebral mRNA expression of Vegf-A, its receptors and co-receptors, and selected tight junction proteins were determined using qRT-PCR and ELISA. Vessel structures were assessed by Pecam-1 and occludin (Ocln) IHC. While Vegf-A expression increased significantly with rhGH treatment (p < 0.01), expression of the Vegfr and TEK receptor tyrosine kinase (Tie-2) system remained unchanged. RhEPO increased Vegf-A (p < 0.05) and Angpt-2 (p < 0.05) expression. While hypoxia reduced the mean vessel area in the parietal cortex compared to controls (p < 0.05), rhGH and rhEPO prevented this reduction after 48 h of regeneration. Hypoxia significantly reduced the Ocln+ fraction of cortical vascular endothelial cells. Ocln signal intensity increased in the cortex in response to rhGH (p < 0.05) and in the cortex and hippocampus in response to rhEPO (p < 0.05). Our data indicate that rhGH and rhEPO have protective effects on hypoxia-induced BBB disruption and regenerative vascular effects during the post-hypoxic period in the developing brain.

摘要

最近的体内实验数据表明,促红细胞生成素(rhEPO)和生长激素(rhGH)在新生鼠缺氧性脑损伤模型中具有互补的神经保护作用。在这里,我们假设 rhGH 和 rhEPO 介导了缺氧性脑损伤后血脑屏障(BBB)的稳定和再生血管作用。使用已建立的新生鼠缺氧模型,在缺氧暴露后 0/12/24 小时,对新生鼠(P7)进行腹腔注射 rhGH(4000μg/kg)或 rhEPO(5000IU/kg)治疗。在 48 小时或 7 天的再生期后,通过 qRT-PCR 和 ELISA 测定脑内 Vegf-A 及其受体和协同受体和选定的紧密连接蛋白的 mRNA 表达。通过 Pecam-1 和 occludin(Ocln)免疫组化评估血管结构。虽然 rhGH 治疗显著增加了 Vegf-A 的表达(p<0.01),但 Vegfr 和 TEK 受体酪氨酸激酶(Tie-2)系统的表达保持不变。rhEPO 增加了 Vegf-A(p<0.05)和 Angpt-2(p<0.05)的表达。与对照组相比,缺氧导致顶叶皮层的平均血管面积减少(p<0.05),而 rhGH 和 rhEPO 在再生 48 小时后可防止这种减少。缺氧显著降低了皮质血管内皮细胞中 Ocln+的分数。rhGH(p<0.05)和 rhEPO(p<0.05)在皮质和海马中增加了 Ocln 信号强度。我们的数据表明,rhGH 和 rhEPO 在发育中的大脑的缺氧后期间对缺氧诱导的 BBB 破坏和再生血管作用具有保护作用。
