Research articleDexmedetomidine confers neuroprotection against transient global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats by inhibiting inflammation through inactivation of the TLR-4/NF-κB pathway
چکیده انگلیسی


- Pre-ischemic dexmedetomidine treatment provided neuroprotection from transient global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.
- The expression of TLR-4/NF-κB was significantly lower in dexmedetomidine-treated rats.
- The serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were significantly lower in dexmedetomidine-treated rats.
- The anti-inflammatory reactions of dexmedetomidine may be in part responsible for neuroprotection after cerebral ischemia.

Dexmedetomidine (DXM) has anti-inflammatory effects, which is considered an important mechanism of DXM-induced neuroprotection from cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. We determined whether the anti-inflammatory effects of DXM are associated with inhibition of the toll-like receptor (TLR)-4/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway in a rat model of transient global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Fifty rats were randomly assigned to one of five groups (10 rats/group): Group S received no treatment; Group C underwent transient global ischemia (10 min); Group D received DXM 30 min before ischemia; Group R received resatorvid, a selective TLR-4 antagonist, 30 min before ischemia; and Group RD received resatorvid and DXM 30 min before ischemia. The numbers of necrotic and apoptotic cells and the levels of TLR-4, NF-κB, and caspase-3 were assessed 1 day after ischemia, and pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were measured before ischemia and 2, 6, and 24 h thereafter. The necrotic and apoptotic cell counts and levels of TLR-4, NF-κB, and caspase-3 were higher in Group C than in other groups. TNF-α were higher in Group C than in other groups 2 h after ischemia, whereas IL-6 were higher in Group C 6 h after ischemia. IL-1β was higher in Group C than in Group D 6 and 24 h after ischemia. Our findings suggest that the anti-inflammatory action of DXM via inactivation of the TLR-4/NF-κB pathway, in part, may explain DXM-induced neuroprotection after cerebral ischemia.
