Salvia miltiorrhiza (SAL) and Panax notoginseng (PNS) are widely used in treating of ischemic stroke. However, it is unknown which components of SAL and PNS protect brain microvascular pericytes after an ischemic stroke. We evaluated the protective effects and mechanisms of SAL and PNS components in pericytes subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Pericytes were subjected to OGD/R. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to evaluate cell viability. ROS and SOD kits were used to detect oxidative stress. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell apoptosis. To evaluate cell migration, a scratch assay was performed. Expression of cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, VEGF, Ang-1, PDGFR-β, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and JNK/ERK/P38 signaling pathways were identified using western blot. The results revealed that salvianolic acid B (Sal B), salvianolic acid D (Sal D), notoginsenoside R1 (R1), ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), and ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) increased the cell viability of pericytes subjected to OGD/R, reduced the level of ROS, and increased the expression of SOD. The components reduced cell apoptosis, increased the protein level of Bcl-2/Bax, reduced the level of cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3, increased cell migration, and enhanced the levels of Ang-1, PDGFR-β, and VEGF. The components could activate PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway while inhibiting the JNK/ERK/P38 pathway. Studies found that Sal B, Sal D, R1, Rb1, and Rg1 inhibited oxidative stress and apoptosis while increasing the release of pro-angiogenic regulators of pericytes related to the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and JNK/ERK/P38 signaling pathways. This provides a potential foundation for developing monomeric drugs for treating ischemic stroke.
丹参(SAL)和三七(PNS)被广泛用于治疗缺血性中风。然而,尚不清楚丹参和三七的哪些成分在缺血性中风后对脑微血管周细胞具有保护作用。我们评估了丹参和三七成分对经历氧糖剥夺/复氧(OGD/R)的周细胞的保护作用及其机制。将周细胞进行OGD/R处理。使用细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)评估细胞活力。使用ROS和SOD试剂盒检测氧化应激。进行流式细胞术分析细胞凋亡。为了评估细胞迁移,进行划痕试验。使用蛋白质免疫印迹法鉴定裂解的半胱天冬酶-3、Bcl-2、Bax、VEGF、Ang-1、PDGFR-β、PI3K/AKT/mTOR和JNK/ERK/P38信号通路的表达。结果显示,丹酚酸B(Sal B)、丹酚酸D(Sal D)、三七皂苷R1(R1)、人参皂苷Rb1(Rb1)和人参皂苷Rg1(Rg1)提高了经历OGD/R的周细胞的细胞活力,降低了ROS水平,并增加了SOD的表达。这些成分减少了细胞凋亡,增加了Bcl-2/Bax的蛋白水平,降低了裂解的半胱天冬酶-3/半胱天冬酶-3的水平,增加了细胞迁移,并提高了Ang-1、PDGFR-β和VEGF的水平。这些成分可激活PI3K/AKT/mTOR通路,同时抑制JNK/ERK/P38通路。研究发现,Sal B、Sal D、R1、Rb1和Rg1抑制氧化应激和细胞凋亡,同时增加与PI3K/AKT/mTOR和JNK/ERK/P38信号通路相关的周细胞促血管生成调节因子的释放。这为开发治疗缺血性中风的单体药物提供了潜在的基础。
