Study of Salidroside on Expression of Synaptophysin and Tau in Rats after Local Cerebral Ischemia-reperfusion Injury by Yanqing SU, Yingzheng WANG, Xuwen WANG, Baiying SONG, Yu LIN, Guizhu HONG

“…The rats were treated with drugs one more time at two hours before sacrifice. The mRNA expression of SYN and Tau in ischemic brain tissue were detected by RT-qPCR, the protein expression of phosphorylated Tau at threonine 231 (p-Tau231) was detected by immunohistochemical method, and the protein expression of SYN and p-Tau231 in ischemic brain tissue were detected by Western Blot.Results:Compared with the sham group, SYN expression in model group was decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05);SYN expression in salidroside group was increased compared with the model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); p-Tau231 expression in model group was increased compared with the sham group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01). p-Tau231 expression in salidroside group was decreased compared with model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Conclusion:Salidroside can increase the injury-induced downregulation of SYN when the injury caused by MCAO, and decrease hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein in the ipsilateral thalamus of rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.…”
