Effect of electroacupuncture at “Shuigou” (GV26) and “Baihui” (GV20) on autophagy of hippo-campal neurons in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury
Objective To explore the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) at “Shuigou”(GV6) and “Baihui”(GV20) on autophagy of hippocampal neurons in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) injury rats. Methods Forty-eight healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation
model and EA groups
with 16 rats in each group. The rat model of cerebral I/R injury was established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery(MCAO). Rats of the EA group received EA at GV26 and GV20 for 20 min
once daily for 5 days. The neurological function of rats in each group was evaluated by Longa neurological function score. The cerebral infarction volume was measured by TTC staining. The levels of IL-6
IL-18 and TNF-α in cerebrospinal fluid were detected by ELISA. Real-time PCR and Western blot were respectively used to detect the expressions of autophagy-related proteins AMPK
Beclin-1
VPS34 and LC3B. Results Compared with the sham operation group
neurological function scores of rats in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.01); the volume of cerebral infarction was significantly increased(P<0.01); the contents of IL-6
IL-18 and TNF-α in cerebrospinal fluid were increased(P<0.01
P<0.05); the mRNA expression levels of AMPK
Beclin-1
VPS34 and LC3B were significantly increased(P<0.01); the protein expressions of AMPK
Beclin-1
VPS34 and the ratio of LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ were increased(P<0.01
P<0.05). After intervention and in comparison with the model group
the neurological function scores were decreased(P<0.05); the cerebral infarct volume were decreased(P<0.05); the contents of IL-6
IL-18 and TNF-α in cerebrospinal fluid were decreased(P<0.05); the mRNA expressions of AMPK
Beclin-1
VPS34 and LC3B were significantly decreased(P<0.01); the protein expressions of AMPK
Beclin-1
VPS34 and the ratio of LC3 B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ were decreased(P<0.05
P<0.01). Conclusion EA can improve the neurological function and alleviate the degree of nerve injury in rats with cerebral I/R injury
which may be related to inhibiting the autophagy level of hippocampal neurons.
