This paper investigated the mechanism of how astragalus polysaccharide (APS) exerts protective effect against acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and found that APS can promote the M2 polarization of rat microglia by inhibiting the expression of purinergic receptor (P2X7R). APS can reverse the effect of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) on the polarization of rat microglia M1/M2 by regulating P2X7R. APS can also inhibit the expression of P2X7R by promoting the degradation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and contribute to maintaining the integrity of blood-brain barrier (BBB) in MCAO rats.
Clinically, the effective treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is very limited. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the mechanism how astragalus polysaccharide (APS) exerts protective effect against AIS and provide a new method for the treatment of AIS. Cell surface antigen flow cytometry and immunofluorescence were used to identify M1 and M2 microglia. Western blot was used to evaluate the expression of associated protein. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) was used to simulate the effect of AIS on rat microglia. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established to simulate the effect of AIS in vivo. Evans blue dye (EBD) was used to evaluate the permeability of blood-brain barrier (BBB). Western blot and cell surface antigen flow cytometry results showed that APS promoted the M2 polarization of rat microglia by inhibiting the expression of purinergic receptor (P2X7R). APS reversed the effect of OGD on the polarization of rat microglia M1/ M2 by regulating P2X7R. APS reversed the effect of MCAO on the polarization of rat microglia M1/ M2 in vivo. Furthermore, APS inhibited the expression of P2X7R by promoting the degradation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the cerebral cortex of MCAO rats. In addition, APS contributed to maintain the integrity of BBB. Summarily, APS can reduce brain injury by promoting the degradation of ATP in microglia and inhibiting the expression of P2X7R after AIS.
