Abstract
Background
Betanin is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that has attracted the attention of researchers in a variety of diseases in recent years. Therefore, In the present study the effect of pretreatment of betanin nanoparticles (NB) in cerebral ischemia rats was investigated.
Methods
Oral administration of NB started five days before bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) induction and continued for three days thereafter in rats. The neurological disorder scores (NDS), brain swelling and edema were evaluated. After preparing brain homogenate, the intensity of oxidative stress, the activities of antioxidant enzymes, GSH content, the activities of mitochondrial enzymes SDH, MDH and LDH were studied. Also, the expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α cytokines were measured. The expression levels of NF-ĸB and pSTAT3 genes and proteins and ERK and TFEB proteins were also studied.
Results
NB showed strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in cerebral I/R rats and improved mitochondrial and antioxidant enzymes activities. Decreases in NDS, swelling and edema of the brain were also observed in the cerebral I/R rats receiving NB. Also, administration of NB decreased the expressions of inflammatory cytokines and upregulated the expressions of NF-KB and pSTAT3 genes and proteins and overexpressed ERK and TEFB proteins.
Conclusion
NB has neuroprotective effects in cerebral I/R condition due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammation properties, which can be considered as a suitable treatment option in stroke conditions.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
