Study of Salidroside on Expression of Synaptophysin and Tau in Rats after Local Cerebral Ischemia-reperfusion Injury by Yanqing SU, Yingzheng WANG, Xuwen WANG, Baiying SONG, Yu LIN, Guizhu HONG

“…The mRNA expression of SYN and Tau in ischemic brain tissue were detected by RT-qPCR, the protein expression of phosphorylated Tau at threonine 231 (p-Tau231) was detected by immunohistochemical method, and the protein expression of SYN and p-Tau231 in ischemic brain tissue were detected by Western Blot.Results:Compared with the sham group, SYN expression in model group was decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05);SYN expression in salidroside group was increased compared with the model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); p-Tau231 expression in model group was increased compared with the sham group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01). p-Tau231 expression in salidroside group was decreased compared with model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Conclusion:Salidroside can increase the injury-induced downregulation of SYN when the injury caused by MCAO, and decrease hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein in the ipsilateral thalamus of rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.…”
