Age-related difference in protective effect of early post-conditioning on ischemic brain injury : possible involvement of MAP-2/Synaptophysin role

Brain Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to the failure of the microtubules function and neuronal death. Ischemic post-conditioning is defined as a series of rapid alternating interruptions of blood flow in the first seconds of reperfusion. In the present study, the caspase-3, Microtubule-Associated Protein-2 (MAP-2), Protein Kinase C α (PKCα), c-fos, and synaptophysin were evaluated in the hippocampus of focal I/R post-conditioning model in a time -dependent study in aged and young rats. Adult and aged rats were subjected to right MCAO for 30 min and post-conditioned (10 s) for 3 cycles. Sensory-motor tests were performed, and locomotion and anxiety-like behavior were evaluated. Molecular tests were done by detection kit, RT-PCR, and Western blotting techniques. Ninety-six hours after I/R post-conditioning, neurological signs, locomotion, anxiety-like behavior, and ischemic area were improved in young rats compared to 6 h after I/R post-conditioning (P < 0.001). Caspase-3 activity declined in the hippocampus and cortex of I/R post-conditioned young rats in 96 h after I/R post-conditioning compared with 6 h after I/R post-conditioning (P < 0.001). Also, MAP-2 mRNA, MAP-2 protein level, PKCα, c-fos and synaptophysin protein levels were enhanced during post-conditioning in young rats in 96 h after I/R post-conditioning compared with 6 h after induction of I/R post-conditioning. The results of the present study suggested that, early post-conditioning might be considered as a candidate for therapeutic methods against I/R in the adult animals not aged rats. Moreover, inhibition of cell death in post-conditioned ischemic rats was found to be regulated by some neuroprotective molecules as well as MAP-2 and c-fos in young rats.
