Objective To study the effects of Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) induced pluripotent stem cells-derived neural stem cells (iPSCs-NSCs) on restoration of nerve function, expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in rats after ischemia reperfusion injury, and explore the role of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) signal pathway in these processes. Methods The iPSCs-NSCs were induced and differentiated into NSCs, and immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect the nestin expression in the cells. (1) NSCs were further induced into neurons; these neurons were divided into routine medium group, Sal B group (adding 50 μmol/L Sal B), Sal+GM6001 group (adding 50μmol/L Sal B+25 μmol/L GM6001), and Sal B+LY294002 group (adding 50 μmol/L Sal B+25 μmol/L LY294002). The cells were counted under microscope, and microtubule-associated protein (MAP) 2 expressions were detected by immunofluorescent staining and real time PCR. The protein levels of matrix metalloprotein (MMP)-2, phosphorylated (p-) Akt and Akt were detected by Western blotting. (2) Forty-eight SD rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were randomly divided into 3 groups: PBS blank group (giving PBS), iPSCs-NSCs group (giving PSCs-NSCs), Sal B+iPSCs-NSCs group (giving Sal B+iPSCs-NSCs); local injection was performed into the corpus striatum. Seven and 14 d after that, Longa grading and SMA grading were performed to evaluate the neurological functions; 7 d after that, immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect the nestin expression; 14 d after that, immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect the MAP2 and glial fibriUary acidic protein (GFAP) expressions. Western blotting was employed to detect the MMP-2 and TIMP-2 protein expressions. Results (1) In vitro, the number of neurons and MAP2 mRNA expression level in Sal B group were significantly larger/higher as compared with those in routine med
