Abstract:

Objective

To investigatetheexpression changesof nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)in rat cortex following traumatic brain injury after hypoxic preconditioning.

Methods

Two hundred and sixteen adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group(Con),hypoxic preconditioning group(HP),traumatic brain injury group(TBI)and hypoxic preconditioning+traumatic brain injury group(HP+TBI).Con and TBI groups had 12 rats respectively,TBI or HP+TBI group was subdivided into 8 groups according to sacrifice time points,namely group 1 h,3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,3 d,7 d and 14d(n=12).TBImodels were made by the Feeney’s improved equipment and hypoxic preconditioning models were made by Hypobaric chamber for 3 days(-50kPa、3 h/d).The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the brain cortex was detected by immunohistochemistry and western blotting.

Results

The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 began to increase at 1 h,reached the peak at 24 h,and decreased slowly at 3 d after TBI.At the time points of 1 h to 7 d,the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the HP+TBIor TBIgroup was significantly higher than those in the Con or HPgroup(p<0.05).After consecutive three days hypoxic preconditioning,the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 had no significant difference between HPand Con groups,but the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the HP+TBI group was higher than those in the TBI group from 1 h to 7 d(p<0.05).

Conclusion

Hypoxic preconditioning up-regulates the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the brain cortex,which enhancestheanti-oxidativeability of brain after TBI.
