The study demonstrates that drug-induced hypothermia can reduce ischemic brain damage, with interischemia hypothermia possibly being more effective than inter-reperfusion hypothermia.
Background and Purpose. Studies have shown that interischemia hypothermia is able to reduce the size of myocardial infarctions and improve their clinical outcomes. The present study determined whether interischemia hypothermia induced by the pharmacological approach induced stronger neuroprotection in ischemic brains. Methods. Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were studied in 4 groups: (1) sham; (2) stroke; (3) stroke treated with pharmacological hypothermia before reperfusion (interischemia hypothermia); and (4) stroke treated with pharmacological hypothermia after reperfusion is initiated (inter-reperfusion hypothermia). The combination of chlorpromazine and promethazine with dihydrocapsaicin (DHC) was used to induce hypothermia. To compare the neuroprotective effects of drug-induced hypothermia between the interischemia and inter-reperfusion groups, brain damage was evaluated using infarct volume and neurological deficits at 24 h reperfusion. In addition, mRNA expressions of NADPH oxidase (NOX) subunits (gp91(phox), p67(phox), p47(phox), and p22(phox)) and glucose transporter subtypes (GLUT1 and GLUT3) were determined by real-time PCR at 6 and 24 h reperfusion. ROS production was measured by flow cytometry assay at the same time points. Results. In both hypothermia groups, the cerebral infarct volumes and neurological deficits were reduced in the ischemic rats. At 6 and 24 h reperfusion, ROS production and the expressions of NOX subunits and glucose transporter subtypes were also significantly reduced in both hypothermia groups as compared to the ischemic group. While there were no statistically significant differences between the two hypothermia groups at 6 h reperfusion, brain damage was significantly further decreased by interischemia hypothermia at 24 h. Conclusion. Both interischemia and inter-reperfusion pharmacological hypothermia treatments play a role in neuroprotection after stroke. Interischemia hypothermia treatment may be better able to induce stronger neuroprotection after ischemic stroke. This study provides a new avenue and reference for stronger neuroprotective hypothermia before vascular recanalization in stroke patients.
