Minocycline treatment prevents cavitation in rats after a cortical devascularizing lesion
چکیده انگلیسی
Minocycline, a second-generation tetracycline, has been shown to possess neuroprotective effects in animal models of stroke. Pial vessel disruption in adult Wistar rats leads to a cone-shaped cortical lesion and turns into a fluid-filled cavity surrounded by a GFAP+ glia limitans 21 days after injury. This mimics the clinical situation in lacunar infarcts. Minocycline was given intraperitoneally at a dose of 45 mg/kg 1 and 12 h after lesioning, followed by 22.5 mg/kg twice daily until 6 days after lesioning. Control rats received intraperitoneal injections of equivalent volumes of saline. Cavitation was prevented in five out of six minocycline-treated animals and the glia limitans did not appear as the space was filled with GFAP+ reactive astrocytes. However, the number of activated microglia showed no difference between minocycline-treated and -untreated groups. Minocycline did not reduce the number of infiltrating leukocytes, predominately polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) determined by myeloperoxidase immunoreactivity, or infiltration of CD3+ lymphocytes. The pial vessel occlusion induced a significant upregulation of IL-1β expression; however, minocycline treatment did not significantly alter this upregulation of IL-1β. In this study, we found minocycline facilitated the repopulation of the lesion by reactive astrocytes and therefore prevented cavitation; however, we could not identify the molecular signal.
