PG - 1519-25 LID - 10.1007/s12013-014-0087-1 [doi] AB - To explore the effects of different degrees of hypothermia on brain tissue apoptosis after cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Cardiac arrest for 5 min induced by asphyxia method was used to create CPR model. 30 SD rats were randomly divided into control group (normothermia), 33 degrees C hypothermia group and 30 degrees C hypothermia group with ten rats in each. Rats in control group received routine treatment at 25 degrees C room temperature after CPR; Rats in mild hypothermia and moderate hypothermia groups were given hypothermia treatment 0.5 h after CPR. Brain tissue in all groups was taken 24 h after CPR, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the caspase-3 in cerebral cortex and glial fiber acidic protein (GFAP) expression in astrocyte. Western blotting was used to detect Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression, and histopathological change was observed in brain tissue. Compare to the control group, caspase-3 expression in cerebral neurons in hypothermia group was significantly decreased (p<0.01), which was significantly lower in 30 degrees C group than that in 33 degrees C group (p > 0.05); GFAP level in hypothermia groups was significantly increased (p < 0.01), which was higher in 30 degrees C hypothermia group than that in 33 degrees C hypothermia group (p < 0.05); Bcl-2 expression level in hypothermia group was significantly increased (p < 0.01), which was higher in 30 degrees C hypothermia group than that in 33 degrees C hypothermia group (p < 0.05); The level of Bax had no significant difference among the three groups. Hypothermia-regulated GFAP expression by decreasing caspase-3 expression and increasing Bcl-2 expression to promote brain cell signaling transduction, and further inhibited cell apoptosis and reduced brain injury. Moderate hypothermia therapy is more effective than mild hypothermia in preventing brain injure.
