Abstract

In this study, we examine the effects of reperfusion on the activation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and assess the relationship between MMP activation during reperfusion and neurovascular injury. Ischemia was produced using suture-induced middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. The MMP activation was examined with in situ and gel zymography. Injury to cerebral endothelial cells and basal lamina was assessed using endothelial barrier antigen (EBA) and collagen IV immunohistochemistry. Injury to neurons and glial cells was assessed using Cresyl violet staining. These were examined at 3 h after reperfusion (8 h after initiation of ischemia) and compared with permanent ischemia at the same time points to assess the effects of reperfusion. A broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor, AHA (p-aminobenzoyl-Gly-Pro-D-Leu-D-Ala-hydroxamate, 50 mg/kg intravenously) was administered 30 min before reperfusion to assess the roles of MMPs in activating gelatinolytic enzymes and in reperfusion-induced injury. We found that reperfusion accelerated and potentiated MMP-9 and MMP-2 activation and injury to EBA and collagen IV immunopositive microvasculature and to neurons and glial cells in ischemic cortex and striatum relative to permanent ischemia.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Basement Membranes

Basement membranes are thin, specialized extracellular matrices surrounding most tissues in all metazoans. Here is the latest research on basement membranes.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
