目的探讨急性高血糖对脑缺血大鼠血一脑脊液屏障(BBB)损伤的作用及机制。方法实验大鼠随机分为假手术组、正常血糖(NG)组、加甘草酸(GL)(NG+GL)组、高血糖(HG)组和加GL(HG+GL)组。于脑缺血再灌注不同时间段检测脑脊液高迁移率族蛋白B1(HMGBl)含量、BBB通透性、脑水肿和脑梗死体积,评估神经缺失。结果与NG组比较,HG组大鼠的脑脊液HMGBl含量显著提高(P〈0.01);同时,伊文思蓝(EB)外渗率,脑梗死体积及脑水肿显著加重(P〈0.01),神经功能缺陷加重(P〈0.05);进行GL干预后,上述指标显著改善(P〈0.01)。结论高血糖可促进缺血脑组织HMGBl的释放,加重BBB损伤。抑制HMGBI的活性,对高血糖大鼠脑缺血后BBB的损伤具有保护作用。
Objective To investigate the effects of acute hyperglycemia on ischemia-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment and the mechanism involved. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, normoglycemia (NG) group, hyperglycemia (HG) group and glycyrrhizic acid (GL) intervention ( NG + GL, HG + GL) groups. Ischemia was induced by 90 minutes middle cerebral artery occlusion. Western blotting was used to detect the release of high mobility group box 1 ( HMGB1 ) in cerebrospinal fluid, and BBB permeability was evaluated by Evan's blue (EB) leakage. Brain edema, infarction volume, neurological deficit scores were evaluated after opera- tion. Results Hyperglycemia significantly enhanced the release of HMGB1 in cerebrospinal fluid, compared with the NG group ( P 〈 0.01 ). Meanwhile, Hyperglycemia significantly increased the brain edema and the infarction volume ( P 〈 0.01 ) and worsened the neurological deficit ( P 〈 0.05 ). Inhibition of HMGB1 with GL significantly reduced EB leakage, brain edema, infarction volume, and neurological deficit (P 〈 0.01 ). Conclusion In transient middle cere- bral artery occlusion, the increased release of HMGB1 may contribute to the hyperglycemia-exacerbated BBB damage. Inhibiting HMGB1 may protect the BBB from the hyperglycemia-exacerbated damage.
