Abstract

Objective

To study the protective effect of agrimony extracts from different extracting methods on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats

in order to optimize the extraction scheme of agrimony.

Methods

Male rats were randomly assigned into seven groups: 1. Sham-operated group

2. Untreated MCAO group (MCAO)

3. Petroleum ether extract of

Agrimonia pilosa

treated MCAO group (PEA)

4. Ethyl acetate extract of

Agrimonia pilosa

treated MCAO group (EAEA)

5. Ethanol extract of

Agrimonia pilosa

treated MCAO group (EEA)

6. Water extract of

Agrimonia pilosa

treated MCAO group (WEA)

7. Nimodipine treated MCAO group (NP). Intragastrical drug administration (i.g) was performed at 0 and 6 hours after MCAO. Neurological function tests were performed after reperfusion for 24 hours

then the brain was removed for the evaluations of the cerebral infarction volume (percentage of total brain volume) by immunohistochemistry

histological changes (hematoxylin-eosin staining)

-ATPase

-ATPase (modified method of Svoboda and Mosinger)

mRNA expression of Tumor suppressor gene (P53) and hot shock protein (HSP70) (quantitative real-time PCR).

Results

The neurological function of MCAO group had significantly higher scores than the sham group (

0.01). The WEA group showed a significantly lower neurological score than the MCAO group (

0.05)

indicating the protective effect of WEA on neurological deficits. The mean infarction volumes of WEA (13.5±6.6%

=4.75

0.01)

EEA (19.90±6.90%

=5.23

0.01)

PEA (20.40±5.30%

=4.68

0.01) and EAEA (22.50±10.50%

=6.25

0.05) group were all significantly smaller than that of MCAO group (29.40±6.50%). HE staining demonstrated that

compared to the treated groups

the infarcted cerebral tissue of MCAO group had more swelling neural cells

lighter stained nucleus

fewer and irregularly distributed neurons. The activity of Na

-ATPase and Ca

-ATPase reduced in the MCAO group (3.67±0.48 U/mg

1.28±0.26 U/mg

respectively)

and were significantly higher in WEA group (7.56±0.85 U/mg

=12.65

=0.010; 3.59±0.22 U/mg

=8.32

=0.041

respectively). The MCAO group showed significantly elevated P53 and HSP70 mRNA expressions compared to the sham group (

0.01

0.05). P53 mRNA expressions in Agrimony extracts treated groups were significantly lower than that of the MCAO group (all

0.01)

with the WEA group showing the greatest difference from MCAO group. The HSP70 mRNA level of the treated groups were not significantly different from that of the MCAO group.

Conclusions

Treatment using water extracts of agrimony can promote the best functional and metabolic recovery for rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury

which maybe relate with the upregulation of energy metabolism in nerve cells after MCAO.
