Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of puerarin on the local cerebrum renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Methods A total of 60 Wistar rats were selected and divided into the control group (sham operation), the model group (rats in the model group were established as cerebral IRI model by inserting a monofilament into middle cerebral artery) and the treatment group (rats in the treatment group were administered with puerarin after the cerebral IRI model was established) by random number table method. All rats were sacrificed 24 h after operation. The neurological function of rats was evaluated by Zea-Longa method. The denatured cell index (DCI) in cerebrum was observed by HE staining. Main components of renin-angiotensin system including angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin type 1 receptors (AT1R) and angiotensin type 2 receptors (AT2R) were determined using radioimmunoassay, Real-time PCR and Western blot. Results The neurological function scores, DCI, AngⅡ, ACE, AT1R and AT2R in the model group and the treatment group rats increased significantly compared with those in the control group (P < 0.05). The neurological function scores and DCI after puerarin treatment were decreased significantly compared with those in the model group (P < 0.05), in the meantime, the main components of renin-angiotensin system were also inhibited by puerarin (P < 0.05). Conclusion The protective effect of puerarin on cerebral IRI in rats may have certain relationship to the inhibitory of the local RAS in cerebrum.
