Abstract
Objective To study the expression of Nogo-A in cerebral white matter after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) in rats,and explore the relationship between Nogo-A and cerebral white matter lesions after ischemia. Methods Sprague-Dawley male rats were subjected to 2 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Relative quantification PCR(RQ-PCR) was performed to examine the expressions of Nogo-A gene at different reperfusion time. Results The expression level of Nogo-A gene in the white matter was decreased in 1 d group(P0.05 vs sham group),and was the weakest in 7 d group. It was increased in 14~21 d group,and in 21 d the expression level was still lower than that of sham group(P0.001). Conclusions Nogo-A expreesion has dynamic changes in the white matter after focal cerebral I/R. Nogo-A could be as one of the targets for neuroprotective therapy after cerebral ischemia.
