Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of Mongolian medicine total flavonoids of Dracocephalum moldavica L (TFDM) on the expression of microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2) in the ischemic penumbra of rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and explore its role in neural plasticity. Methods: Constructing a middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion model using SD rats. The experiment was divided into sham surgery group (Sham), ischemia-reperfusion group (I/R), and TFDM administration group (TFDM). Samples were collected at four time points: 1, 3, 7, 14 days after surgery. The immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of MAP-2 positive labeled cells and dendrites in the ischemic penumbra of the cortex, and Western blot was used to detect the expression of MAP-2 protein in the ischemic penumbra of the cortex. Results: The results of immunohistochemistry and Western Blot showed that the expression of MAP-2 in the ischemic penumbra of the TFDM group was significantly higher than that in the I/R group on the 3rd and 7th day after reperfusion (P<0.05). Conclusion: TFDM may play a neuroprotective role by up-regulating the expression of MAP-2 protein, enhancing the regulation of neural plasticity in the ischemic penumbra, promoting dendritic growth and repairing damaged nerve structure.
