摘要: 目的观测电针大鼠双侧合谷穴(LI 4)对局灶性脑缺血再灌注后脑内血管内皮生长因子受体-2(VEGFR-2) mRNA和脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)蛋白表达的影响,探讨神经发生和血管生成间可能的相互联系和作用。方法线栓法制备大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注模型。90 只大鼠随机分为对照组(n=6)、模型组(n=42)和电针组(n=42)。观察局灶性脑缺血1 h 后再灌注2 h、12 h、24h、3 d、7 d、14 d、21 d 共7 个时相点,每个时相点6 只大鼠。采用反转录酶-聚合酶链锁反应(RT-PCR)法检测VEGFR-2 mRNA的表达,免疫组化法检测BDNF蛋白的表达。结果再灌注后12 h、24 h,电针组VEGFR-2 mRNA明显高于模型组(P<0.01),3 d 也高于模型组(P<0.05)。与模型组比较,电针组海马区BDNF蛋白在再灌注后2 h 开始增加(P<0.05),24 h 达高峰(P<0.01),3 d 后仍有显著性差异(P<0.05),但呈现增加幅度降低的趋势。结论电针能促进脑缺血再灌注后VEGFR-2 mRNA、BDNF蛋白的表达;神经血管因子可能是神经发生与血管生成联系与作用的分子学基础。

Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) mRNA and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein in brain tissue of rats with focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Methods The focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model was established with filament occlusion. 90 rats were randomly divided into control group (n=6), model group (n=42) and electroacupuncture group (n=42). They were observed 2 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d after ischemia/reperfusion, 6 rats in each points. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA. Immunohistology method was used to detect the expression of BDNF protein. Results The expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA was higher in the electroacupuncture group than in the model group 12 h, 24 h, 3 d after reperfusion (P<0.05). The expression of BDNF protein in the hippocampus increased 2 h (P<0.05), reached peak 24 h (P<0.01) and still higher 3 d (P<0.05) in the electroacupuncture group than in the model group after reperfusion. Conclusion Electroacupuncture can upregulate the expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA and BDNF protein in brain tissue of rats with focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Neuro-angiogenic factor is possibly the molecular basis of coordinated interaction of the nervous and vascular system.
