Caspase-3和cytochrome c 水平的升高,而上调抗凋亡蛋白Bcl-2蛋白的表达。所有证据表明,藏红素是一种可能通过调控凋亡蛋白活性及线粒体机能障碍机制有效保护I/R损伤的药物。
Abstract
Crocin pretreatment markedly improved the neurological dysfunction and decreased the infarct volume in a dosedependent manner in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats. Western blot analysis showed that crocin up-regulated B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) expression, down-regulated Bcl-2 associated protein X (Bax) and cleaved caspase-3 expression of hippocampus in MCAO rats. Because oxidative/nitrative stress is a very important factor in ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury
thus
a sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-impaired PC12 cell model was set up to mimick nitric oxide (NO) excitotocixity in I/R brain. The results showed that crocin protected PC12 cells against SNP-induced cytotoxicity via attenuating the caspase activation and mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro . Crocin significantly attenuated apoptosis
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release
caspase-3 activation
mitochondria membrane potential corruption and the intracellular accumulation of ROS induced by SNP in PC12 cells. Moreover
SNP decreased the expression level of Bcl-2
induced the expression of cytochrome c and Bax in PC12 cells
which is similar to the case of hippocampus in MCAO rats; and crocin reversed all these effects. All these evidences support that crocin is an effective agent to protect I/R injury via reasonable mechanism.
