摘要


Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) causes serious neurological disability; there are, however, currently few promising therapies for it. We have recently shown that δ-opioid receptor (DOR) is neuroprotective by downregulating TNF-α. Since hypoxia-ischemia (HI) triggers a robust inflammatory response, which exacerbates HI brain damage, we investigated, in this study, whether DOR activation could regulate inflammatory cytokine expression, thereby playing a protective effect on the neonatal brain under HI. Twenty-five neonatal rats were randomly divided into five groups: (1) control (control); (2) HI; (3) HI with saline (HI + NS); (4) DOR activation with UFP-512 (a potent and specific DOR agonist) under HI conditions (HI + U); and (5) DOR inhibition using NT treatment under HI conditions (HI + NT). The rats were sacrificed by decapitation at 24 h after HI, and their brains were rapidly removed for measurements. The protein expression of TNF-α, IL-6, ICAM-1, IL-10, IL-18, NQO-1, Nrf-2, and HO-1 was measured using Western blot. In the hemispheres exposed to HI, DOR activation significantly decreased the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and ICAM-1 in the cortex, while it significantly increased IL-10 and had no effect on IL-18 in the same region. In contrast, DOR had no appreciable effect on inflammatory cytokine expression in non-cortical tissues including hippocampal, subcortical, and cerebellar tissues. Moreover, HI stress triggered an upregulation of Nrf-2 nuclear protein as well as some of its downstream anti-inflammatory genes such as HO-1 and NQO-1 in the cortex, while DOR activation further augmented such a protective reaction against HI injury. DOR plays an important role in protecting against HI by regulating the expression of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the cortex, which is likely mediated by the Nrf-2/HO-1/NQO-1 signaling.
