The rat model of sepsis was made by injecting LPS (10 mg/kg) into tail vein. The rats in sham group was given the same amount of normal saline (NS). After LPS injection, resveratrol (8 mg·kgn -1·dn -1) was intraperitoneally injected once daily for 2 days in the resveratrol group; the same amount of NS was given to the sepsis group and sham group. At 24 hours after model establishment, the cognitive function of the experimental rats was assessed by the Morris water maze test. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was evaluated by the brain water content (BWC) and Evans blue (EB) test. The protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), Occludin and Claudin-5 in cortical tissue were detected by Western Blot. Double immunofluorescence was used to verify the co-localization of MMP-9 protein and the marker protein of astrocyte GFAP in the cortical tissue of rats.n Results:Compared with the sham group, the escape latency in the sepsis group was significantly longer [48-hour escape latency (s): 56.56±6.43 vs. 36.62±3.32, 72-hour escape latency (s): 57.72±7.23 vs. 26.46±4.24, both n P < 0.01], the BWC and extravasation of EB were increased [BWC: (84.56±2.03)% vs. (76.82±2.22)%, EB (μg/g): 17.56±2.28 vs. 6.25±1.36, both n P < 0.01], the expression of MMP-9 protein was increased (MMP-9/β-actin: 0.73±0.01 vs. 0.24±0.01, n P < 0.01), the protein expressions of Occludin and Claudin-5 were decreased (Occludin/β-actin: 0.45±0.02 vs. 0.86±0.04, Claudin-5/β-actin: 0.62±0.03 vs. 0.96±0.05, both n P < 0.01). At the same time, the co-localization expression of MMP-9 protein and the astrocytes of the cortical were increased [MMP-9 fluorescence intensity (AU): 38.66±4.26 vs. 17.23±3.04, MMP-9 positive cells: (26.92±1.77)% vs. (12.82±1.46)%, both n P < 0.01]. Compared with the sepsis group, the escape latency in resveratrol group was significantly shorter [48-hour escape latency (s): 41.42±6.27 vs. 56.56±6.43, 72-hour escape latency (s): 33.46±7.17 vs. 57.72±7.23, both n P < 0.01], the BWC and extravasation of EB were decreased [BWC: (77.15±2.27)% vs. (84.56±2.03)%, EB (μg/g): 7.74±1.88 vs. 17.56±2.28, both n P < 0.01], the expression of MMP-9 protein was decreased (MMP-9/β-actin: 0.25±0.01 vs. 0.73±0.01, n P < 0.01), the protein expressions of Occludin and Claudin-5 were increased (Occludin/β-actin: 0.82±0.03 vs. 0.45±0.02, Claudin-5/β-actin: 0.92±0.04 vs. 0.62±0.03, both n P < 0.01). At the same time, the co-localization expression of MMP-9 protein and the astrocytes of the cortical were decreased [MMP-9 fluorescence intensity (AU): 19.44±4.37 vs. 38.66±4.26, MMP-9 positive cells: (13.11±1.29)% vs. (26.92±1.77)%, both n P < 0.01].n Conclusion:Resveratrol can inhibit the expression of MMP-9 protein in the astrocytes of the cortical cortex of rats, and then reduce the degradation of tight junction proteins of Occludin and Claudin-5, thereby reducing BBB permeability and eventually ameliorate the cognitive dysfunction induced by SAE.
