RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Salidroside (SAL), extracted from Rhodiola rosea, has been widely used in coronary heart disease and myocardial ischemia for decades. Previous studies have demonstrated that SAL could reduce arteriosclerosis, and thus combat ischemic brain damage. However, the in-depth function of the salidroside in Cerebral Small Vascular Disease (CSVD) has not been discovered, and related molecular mechanism is still unclear. OBJECTIVES: The present study aims to explore the effects of salidroside in angiogenesis as well as repair of blood brain barrier (BBB) and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: We established a rat model of SHR via 2-vessel gradual occlusion (SHR-2VGO) to mimic the CSVD. Subsequently, the MRI, pathomorphism, as well as Morriss water maze test were conducted to determine CSVD-related indicators. 8 weeks post-surgery, animals were randomly administered SAL, DAPT, ATN161 or saline.The aim was to explore the protective effects of SAL in CSVD as well as its possible mechanism. RESULTS: Here we found that SAL could attenuate cerebral hypoperfusion-induced BBB disruption, promote the pro-angiogenesis through enhancing the cell budding. Further investigations demonstrated that SAL could significantly increase the expression of Notch1, Hes1, Hes5, and ITGB1. In addition, we confirmed that SAL could activate Notch signal path, and then up-regulate ITGB1 to promote pro-angiogenesis and thus protect BBB from disruption. CONCLUSION: The aforementioned findings demonstrated that SAL could protect BBB integrity through Notch-ITGB1 signaling path in CSVD, which indicated that SAL could be a potential medicine candidate for CSVD treatment.
RESUMO
[ ABSTRACT] AIM: To investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for endothelial dysfunction of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) rats fed with high-salt diet.METHODS:Type 1 DM was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (70 mg/kg).Normal and diabetic rats were fed high-salt food (HS, 8% NaCl) and standard food for 6 weeks, respectively.Isometric tension of the mesenteric arteries were measured .The expression of Akt , endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and caveolin-1 (Cav-1) was examined by Western blot .RESULTS:The rats in DM+HS group exhibited more pronounced impairment of vasorelaxation to acetylcholine and insulin compared with either DM group or HS group (P<0.01).Akt and eNOS phosphorylation levels, and nitric oxide (NO) concentration in DM +HS group were significantly lower than those in DM group (P<0.01).The level of Cav-1 in DM+HS group was significantly higher than that in DM group and HS group .CONCLUSION:Impaired endothelial Akt activation , increased Cav-1 expression and re-sultant decreased eNOS activation contribute to aggravate high-salt diet-induced endothelial dysfunction and hypertension in DM rats.
RESUMO
Local medical college is the mainstream of altitude medical college education in our country.Facing furious competition,we must make a reasonable orientation,construct the characteristics of running school,establish scientific concept,construct specific subject and specialty and make an all-around development in order to walk up to national stage by depending on powerful unity,serve the regional economy and social development,and form a new situation of two patterns by converting single medical colleges to all-around college and remaining the existing single medical college.
