Abstract

Previous studies proved that AS-IV could prevent blood-brain barrier (BBB) against an increase in permeability. However, its underlying molecular mechanism has not been enlightened yet. The aim of the study is to reveal the potential protective mechanism of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on the blood-brain barrier after ischemia-reperfusion. In vivo, AS-IV neurological protection was measured by Long's five-point scale and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. AS-IV protection for BBB was observed by Evans blue extravasation technique. Endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis-related protein levels were measured by western blot with AS-IV intervention. In vitro, cell apoptosis was analyzed by western blot and flow cytometry.Endoplasmic reticulum stress-related protein levels were quantified through western blot. AS-IV treatment could decrease the infarct size in rats' brain and protect the BBB against Evans blue permeating through brain, after ischemia/reperfusion, significantly. Further, ischemia/reperfusion or oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion was found to have an increase in endothelial cell apoptosis proteins, such as Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3, and endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated proteins, such as phosphory...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
