Abstract
Background: Open heart surgery is performed with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) techniques that may cause neuronal injuries.
Objective: This study investigated the potential protective effect of oleocanthal pre-treatment against CPB-induced cerebral injury.
Methods: Oleocanthal 30 mg/kg i.p. was administered 3 h before CPB induction in the treated group. Behavioral neurological scores and cerebral injury were assessed to determine the effects of oleocanthal, based on oxidative stress and serum mediators of inflammation by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to estimate the mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and Interleukin 1 Receptor Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK4) proteins in the cerebral tissue of rats CPB-induced injury. Western blot assay and histopathology were also performed.
Results: The findings suggest that pre-treatment with oleocanthal reduced neurological dysfunction and cerebral injury. Parameters of oxidative stress and cytokine levels were reduced in the serum of the oleocanthal treated group compared with the CPB-only group. Pre-treatment with oleocanthal ameliorated the expression of TLR-4, IRAK4, and Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) proteins in the cerebral tissue of the CPB-injured rats.
Conclusions: The results revealed that treatment with oleocanthal protected against cerebral damage by controlling microglia inflammation through the TLR-4 pathway.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
