Abstract Objective To investigate the protective effect of berberine on oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) induced blood-brain barrier injury in vitro in rats and its mechanism. Methods Primary cultured rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMECs) were divided into the control group, the model group and the berberine administration group. Fresh medium was added to the control group. The model group and the berberine administration group were preincubated with berberine at different concentrations (0, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100 μmol/L) for 24 h, then the low glucose medium was replaced and the culture medium was placed in a three-gas incubator without oxygen (95%N2/5%CO2) for 2 h (oxygen glucose deprivation, OGD). then replaced with fresh medium, at 37℃ and 5%CO2 incubator continue to develop 2 h (Reoxygenation, R). Cell survival was determined by MTT assay, cell tightness was determined by transendothelial electrical resistance, protein expression levels of tight junction protein ZO-1, occludin and nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) were detected by Western blot assay, and levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were detected by ELISA assay. Results Compared with the the control group, rBMECs cell survival rate, ZO-1 expression level and occludin expression level in the model group were significantly reduced, transendothelial electrical resistance showed a decreasing trend, and NF-κB p65 expression level, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels were significantly increased in the model group, the differences were highly statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the survival rate of rBMECs cells in the berberine administration group increased to different degrees, the ZO-1 expression, occludin expression, the transmembrane electrical resistance increased significantly in the berberine 10 and 30 μmol/L concentration groups, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Meanwhile, the NF-κB p65 expression and the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly decreased in the berberine 10 and 30 μmol/L concentration groups, the differences were highly statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Conclusion Berberine plays a protective role of blood brain barrier on OGD/R injury by inhibiting NF-κB entry into the nucleus, reducing the release of inflammatory factors, and improving the damage of OGD/R-induced rBMECs.
