- Paper Abstract
- BACKGROUND/AIM: Stroke is among the most common causes of disability and death in highly developed countries and China. We sought to study the role of oleanolic acid in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS: Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was performed to induce cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. For the short-term effects of oleanolic acid (OA) against MCAO, mice administrated with OA (6 mg/kg /d) for 3 days before the injury were evaluated the infarct volume, neurological scores, blood brain barrier permeability and oxidative stress level, while for the long-term effects, MCAO mice were injected daily with OA for 6 weeks, followed by assessments of motor function, behavior and cerebral infarction area. RESULTS: Pretreatment of oleanolic acid alleviated MCAO-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury as indicated by the significant decreases in cerebral infarction area and neurological symptom score at 24 h post injury, Evans blue leakage, expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and occludin, dihydroethidium fluorescence, and block malonaldehyde generation. In the long run, OA significantly reduced brain loss, enhanced the motor function, promoted the recovery of nerve function, and improved the learning and memory ability 9 weeks after the ischemia-reperfusion injury. OA also inhibited astrocytes proliferation and microglia activation, promoted the expression of synapse-related proteins, and increased the number of DCX+ cells in the hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS: OA exhibits both short-term and long-term protective effects against the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. The short-term protective mechanism is related to the anti-oxidation of blood-brain barrier, while the long-term protective effect lies in neuroglia modulation, promotion of synaptic connection and neuroregeneration.
