Abstract

We aimed to investigate the protective effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) damage in a mouse ischemia model and the possible underlying mechanism. Mice were divided equally into five groups: Sham, I/R, Vehicle, I/R plus CsA (10 mg/kg), and I/R plus CsA (20 mg/kg). Nerve function scores, infarct volume, brain water content, and Evans blue (EB) leakage were evaluated, and western blotting was performed to analyze the changes in CypA, p-Akt, NF-κB, MMP-9, and Claudin-5 expression. CsA can attenuate I/R damage in a mouse ischemic stroke model, as indicated by improved neurological function scores and decreased infarct volume, brain water content, and EB leakage. Additionally, high-dose CsA showed better protective effects than low-dose. The molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of CsA were explored, and it was found that CsA could inhibit the increase in CypA, p-Akt, NF-κB, and MMP-9 protein expression after middle cerebral artery occlusion, while Claudin-5 expression was decreased. CsA showed potential as a neuroprotective drug for the treatment of ischemic stroke patients; besides interfering with the typical NF-κB signaling pathway, the Akt pathway may also be involved in the effects of CsA.

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.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
