Effect of Acupuncture on MMP-2/9 and VEGF Expression in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Model Rats by Xinyi HUANG, Zhuolin YANG, Qiulei MA, Qingzhang ZHOU, Xiaozhuo SUN

“…Objective:To observe the effect of acupuncture at different time points on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2/9 (MMP-2/9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in rats at acupoints Neiguan and Shuigou, so as to explore the mechanism of acupuncture on angiogenesis and neural protection.Methods:A total of 135 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into mock surgical group, model 3 h group, model 9 h group, model 24 h group, model 48 h group, 3 h acupuncture group, 9 h acupuncture group, 24 h acupuncture group, 48 h acupuncture group, with 15 animals in each group; the ICH model was made by the caudate nucleus autologous slow blood injection method and the MMP-2/9 and VEGF positive cell counts were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results:The blood-brain barrier MMP-2,MMP-9 and VEGF positive cells in the 3,9,24,48 h acupuncture groups were significantly lower than those of model group at the same time, compared with the 9,24,48 h acupuncture groups, the reduction of MMP-2 and MMP-9 positive cells was more obvious in the 3 h acupuncture group. …”
