Inhibition of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Reduces Cerebral Infarction Size in Experimental-Induced Focal Cerebral Ischemia in the Rat
Background: The role of Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) in ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injuries is not fully elucidated. Furthermore, it is not clear whether inhibition of RAS by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors has beneficial effects in terms of protecting the brain from I/R injuries. In this study enalapril is used as an ACE inhibitor to evaluate the role of RAS in I/R injuries in...
متن کاملAttenuation of Focal Cerebral Ischemic Injury Following Post-Ischemic Inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Normotensive Rat
Background: Central renin angiotensin system has an important role on the cerebral microcirculation and metabolism. Our previous work showed that inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity prior to induction of ischemia protected the brain from severe ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries. This study evaluated the impacts of post-ischemic inhibition of ACE, enalapril, on brain inf...
متن کاملExpression of a Dominant Negative Mutant of Interleukin-1β Converting Enzyme in Transgenic Mice Prevents Neuronal Cell Death Induced by Trophic Factor Withdrawal and Ischemic Brain Injury
To explore the role of the interleukin (IL)-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) in neuronal apoptosis, we designed a mutant ICE gene (C285G) that acts as a dominant negative ICE inhibitor. Microinjection of the mutant ICE gene into embryonal chicken dorsal root ganglial neurons inhibits trophic factor withdrawal-induced apoptosis. Transgenic mice expressing the fused mutant ICE-lacZ gene under the c...
متن کاملINTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM Interleukin-1 in Cerebral Ischemia
During the past several years, it has become increasingly apparent that interleukin-1 (IL-1), particularly IL-1ƒÀ plays an important role in brain injury during ischemia. Studies from various laboratories have shown that IL-1ƒÀ mRNA and IL-1ƒÀ protein are synthesized early in ischemia and that the injection of IL-1ƒÀ into ischemic brain enhances edema formation. The most direct evidence that IL...
متن کاملThe Effect of Allograft Transplantation of Sertoli Cell on Expression of NF-кB, Bax Proteins, and Ischemic Tolerance in Rats with Focal Cerebral Ischemia
One of the newest methods to reduce cerebral ischemia damages is cell therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sertoli cell transplantation on ischemia-induced injuries in animal models of stroke. Rats were divided into four groups: transplant+ischemia, ischemia, sham, and control. Sertoli cells were separated from the other testis of rats and cultured. Unilateral Sertoli cel...
