Effect of acupuncture on HIF-1α/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling pathway in the rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury
(regaining consciousness and opening orifices) acupuncture therapy on the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats
and to explore the mechanism of acupuncture against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Methods
2
Seventy-two ma
le SD rats were randomly divided into a sham-operation group
a model group
an acupuncture group and a non-point acupuncture group
with 18 rats in each one. Using modified Longa thread embolization method
the rat model of acute focal cerebral ischemia was prepared; and after 2 h ischemia
the reperfusion was performed to prepared the model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Immediately after reperfusion
Xingnao Kaiqiao
acupuncture method was applied to bilateral "Neiguan" (PC 6) and "Shuigou" (GV 26) in the acupuncture group
while in the non-point acupuncture group
acupuncture was delivered at non-points and all of the needles were retained for 30 min in these two groups. The samples were collected 24 h after reperfusion in the rats of each group. Zea-Longa neurological deficit score was used to evaluate the degree of cerebral neurological impairment
TTC staining was adopted to observe the volume percentage of cerebral infarction
HE staining was provided to observe the morphological changes of brain
and Western blot was applied for detecting the expression of HIF-1α and NLRP3 proteins in the cerebral cortex on the right side.
Results
2
Compared with the sham-operation group
neurological deficit score and volume percentage of cerebral infarction were increased in the model group (
P<
0.01)
and HIF-1α and NLRP3 protein expression was elevated (
P<
0.01). Compared with the model group
neurological deficit score and volume percentage of cerebral infarction were decreased (
P<
0.01)
and HIF-1α and NLRP3 protein expression was lower (
P<
0.01) in the acupuncture group. There was no significant difference in above indexes in the non-point acupuncture group compared with the model group
(P
>
0.05). Compared with the sham-operation group
the brain tissue of the rats in the model group and the non-point acupuncture group was loose and edema
and the nuclei were shriveled. The
brain tissue morphology in the acupuncture group was similar to that of the sham-operation group.
Conclusion
2
Acupuncture can alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury
and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of HIF-1α/NLRP3 signaling pathway to attenuate inflammatory response.
