Pré-condicionamento com nitrosil rutênio promove neuroproteção cerebral envolvendo proteína quinase em ratos in vivo

Abstract

Background and purpose - The NO donors can decrease neuronal injury during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) by increasing the blood flow to the brain. The objective of this study is to study whether a new nitrosyl ruthenium complex makes some effect during I/R and if involves protein kinases. Methods - Used 180 male rats, Wistar rats, with an average weight of 290.27 g, distributed 6 groups: Sham 1h, saline + ischemia/reperfusion 1h, Ru-bpy ischemia/reperfusion 1h, Sham 24h, saline + ischemia/reperfusion 24h, Ru-bpy ischemia/reperfusion 24h. Used global cerebral ischemia model incomplete, with occlusion of bilateral common carotid artery and administration of SF or Rut-bpy in their respective groups by intraperitoneal way. At the end of the experiment, the animals were decapitated and the brain removed to be evaluated to the area of injury by histology with H&E, immunohistochemistry, quantification of brain swelling, nitrite, immunoassay for kinases. During the experiment (phase of ischemia and first hour of reperfusion) PAM of animals was monitored. Results: Decreased number of neurons reds and edema in brain tissue in animals preconditioned with nitrosyl ruthenium. PAM variation was lower in animals treated with Ru-bpy the end of ischemia and early reperfusion. Inhibition of NF-kB. Activates the kinase protein Akt, Erk 1/2, p70S6 and CREB, with inhibition of JNK protein.Conclusion: The Rut-bpy has protective effect during neuronal event of I/R supported by 24h and keeping PAM more stable during the beginning of reperfusion. Involving the protein kinase.
