ABSTRACT
Aim To study whether ginsenoside Rg1 could improve white matter injury caused by chronic cerebral ischemia.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into Sham group,Model group,Donepezil group,and ginsenoside Rg1(10,5 mg·kg-1)group.BCAS was established by using bilateral common carotid artery stenosis.Drug treatment was started one day after the operation,and the stomach was given continuously for 30 days.During this period,the body weight and CBF changes were observed,and observed by climbing rods,new object recognition and Y maze experiments.The movement coordination and cognitive abilities of each group of animals were improved.The improvement of the myelin sheath of the corpus callosum was detected by LFB staining,the damage of corpus callosum neurons was observed by Nissl staining,and the expression level of MBP in the corpus callosum was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results The test results of body weight and CBF showed that compared with model group,ginsenoside Rg1 group did not significantly improve the animal's body weight and CBF values; the results of climbing rod,new object recognition,and Y maze experiment showed that ginsenoside Rg1 group significantly shortened the time it took animals to climb rods,and improved the animal's new object recognition index and the number of autonomous alternations; LFB and Nissl staining results showed that ginsenoside Rg1 group significantly improved the myelin and neuron damage of the animal corpus callosum.The results of immunofluorescence and Western blot showed that ginsenoside Rg1 group significantly increased the expression level of animal myelin basic protein MBP.Conclusion Ginsenoside Rg1 can significantly improve white matter injury caused by chronic cerebral ischemia.
