Abstract:
:Cerebral edema is a clinical problem that frequently follows ischemic infarcts. Sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) is an inducible protein that can form a heteromultimeric complex with aquaporin 4 (AQP4) that mediate the ion/water transport involved in brain tissue swelling. Transcription of the Abcc8 gene coding for SUR1 depends on the activity of transcriptional factor SP1, which is modulated by the cellular redox environment. Since oxidative stress is implicated in the induced neuronal damage in ischemia and edema formation, the present study aimed to evaluate if the antioxidant resveratrol (RSV) prevents the damage by reducing the de novo expression of SUR1 in the ischemic brain. Male Wistar rats were subjected to 2 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by different times of reperfusion. RSV (1.9 mg/kg; i.v.) was administered at the onset of reperfusion. Brain damage and edema formation were recognized by neurological evaluation, time of survival, TTC (2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride) staining, Evans blue extravasation, and water content. RSV mechanism of action was studied by SP1 binding activity measured through the Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay, and Abcc8 and Aqp4 gene expression evaluated by qPCR, immunofluorescence, and Western blot. We found that RSV reduced the infarct area and cerebral edema, prevented blood-brain barrier damage, improved neurological performance, and increased survival. Additionally, our findings suggest that the antioxidant activity of RSV targeted SP transcription factors and inhibited SUR1 and AQP4 expression. Thus, RSV by decreasing SUR1 expression could contribute to reducing edema formation, constituting a therapeutic alternative for edema reduction in stroke.
