High levels of NGF during anxiety-like behavior in a murine model of brain ischemic stroke
Purpose
Neuropsychiatric disorders following stroke, including depression and anxiety, are often associated with long-term disability. Neurotrophic factors play an important role in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. In the current study, we investigated a potential participation of neurotrophic factors in stroke-associated behavioral and pathological changes 14 days after ischemia.
Methods
Transient global cerebral ischemia was induced by bilateral occlusion of common carotid arteries (BCCAo) in C57BL/6 mice. Neurological evaluation was performed daily up to 14 days after induction. The Open Field (OF) and Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) tests were performed. After behavioral tests, brains from sham and ischemic mice were removed and processed to evaluate histopathology and immunomarcation for cleaved caspase-3 as well as the neurotrophic factors brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), and neural growth factor (NGF) by ELISA.
Results
Ischemic animals presented anxiety-like behavior and histopathological alterations mainly characterized by formation of small necrotic cavities surrounded by penumbra zone and neuropil vacuolation in the frontal cortex, ischemic neurons in the hippocampus and gliosis in the midbrain. Some immunopositive neurons for cleaved caspase-3 were observed in the penumbra by immunohistochemical analysis. Higher levels of NGF were found in the brain of BCCAo mice compared with sham animals. Similar concentrations of BDNF and GDNF were detected in both groups.
Conclusion
Our results suggested the participation of NGF in anxiety-like behavior at 14 days after induction of experimental cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.
期刊介绍:
Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research publishes original papers and reviews in
biological psychiatry,
brain research,
neurology,
neuropsychiatry,
neuropsychoimmunology,
psychopathology,
psychotherapy.
The journal has a focus on international and interdisciplinary basic research with clinical relevance. Translational research is particularly appreciated. Authors are allowed to submit their manuscript in their native language as supplemental data to the English version.
Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research is related to the oldest German speaking journal in this field, the Centralblatt fur Nervenheilkunde, Psychiatrie und gerichtliche Psychopathologie, founded in 1878. The tradition and idea of previous famous editors (Alois Alzheimer and Kurt Schneider among others) was continued in modernized form with Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research. Centralblatt was a journal of broad scope and relevance, now Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research represents a journal with translational and interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on clinically oriented research in psychiatry, neurology and neighboring fields of neurosciences and psychology/psychotherapy with a preference for biologically oriented research including basic research. Preference is given for papers from newly emerging fields, like clinical psychoimmunology/neuroimmunology, and ideas.
