ABSTRACT
Osmundacetone (DHBAc) is an antioxidant compound that has been shown to have neuroprotective and immunomodulatory activities. However, few studies have estimated its effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of DHBAc on the brain tissue of rats with cerebral I/R injury. Rats were respectively given nimodipine (NI), low dose (L-DHBAc) and high dose (H-DHBAc) Osmundacetone, and they were killed under anesthesia after 24 h of reperfusion. And neurological impairment scores, cerebral infarct size and cerebral pathological changes were respectively detected, and mRNA expression of recombinant kelch like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), protein expression levels of caspase 3, cleaved caspase 3, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1) in ischemic brain tissue were measured. Compared with the I/R group, neurological impairment scores of the DHBAc groups were significantly decreased, and their infarct sizes were significantly smaller. DHBAc could improve the pathological status of brain tissue with cerebral I/R injury, including reducing number of inflammatory cells and area of vacuoles and restoring number of normal neurons. Expression levels of Keap1 mRNA and proteins of cleaved caspase3 were significantly decreased in the DHBAc groups than those of the I/R group, while expression levels of Nrf2 mRNA, HO-1 and NQO1 proteins were remarkably increased. The effect of H-DHBAc was similar to those of NI. These results suggest that DHBAc could mitigate damage to brain tissue in rats with cerebral I/R injury.
