The invention discloses an application of
ginsenoside Ro in preparation of a
medicine for treating cerebral
ischemia-
reperfusion injury. According to the application disclosed by the invention, by preparing a
middle cerebral artery occlusion / reperfusion (MCAO) mouse model, the
ginsenoside Ro is found to be capable of reducing the
cerebral infarction volume of the model mouse, improving the
pathological injury of brain tissues and increasing the
cerebral blood flow at the ischemic side. Meanwhile, the
ginsenoside Ro up-regulates the expression of
brain tissue tight junction proteins ZO-1 and
Occludin, inhibits the expression of
matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 / 2, reduces the leakage amount of
Evans blue, and improves the
blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. Besides, by preparing an
oxygen glucose deprivation / reperfusion (OGD / R) induced mouse brain microvascular endothelial
cell line 3 (bEnd.3)
cell model, it is found that the ginsenoside Ro can improve the damage of the
barrier function of the bEnd.3
cell induced by the OGD / R, it is proved that the ginsenoside Ro can be used for the novel medical application of treating the
cerebral arterial thrombosis, and the ginsenoside Ro has a wide application prospect.
