ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen-rich saline on the regulatory T cells (Tregs ) in the peripheral blood during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R ) in rats .Methods Seventy-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats ,aged 2-3 months ,weighing 260-300 g ,were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number tablesham operation group (group S , n=11) ,group I/R (n=33) ,and hydrogen-rich saline group (group H , n=33 ) .Global cerebral I/R was produced by 4-vessel occlusion method .The bilateral carotid arteries were blocked for 15 min followed by reperfusion in I/R and H groups .In group H ,0.6 mmol/L hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 0 and 6 h of reperfusion ,while the equal volume of normal saline was injected instead in the other two groups .Before ischemia (T0 ) in group S and at 6 ,24 and 72 h of reperfusion (T1-3 ) in I/R and H groups ,7 rats were chosen ,the blood samples from the peripheral vein were collected for determination of the number of Tregs . Then the animals were sacrificed and the spleen was removed for measurement of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) content .The left 4 rats of each group were sacrificed at T0 and T1-3 and the brains were obtained for examination of the pyramidal cell morphology in the hippocampal CA 1 region and for determination of the number of pyramidal cells in brain tissues .Results Compared with group S , the number of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 region ,the number of Tregs in the peripheral blood and content of TGF-β1 in the spleen were significantly decreased at T1-3 in group I/R ( P<0.05) .Compared with group I/R ,the number of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA 1 region and the number of Tregs in the peripheral blood at T2-3 ,and the content of TGF-β1 in the spleen at T1-3 were significantly increased ( P<0.05) ,and the pathological changes of pyramidal cells were attenuated in group H .Conclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen-rich saline attenuates global cerebral I/R injury may be related to the increased number of Tregs in peripheral blood and promoted secretion of TGF-β1 in rats .
