Objective:Investigating the effect of scutellarin on the expression of silent information regulator 1/nucle-ar factor κB(SIRT1/NF-κB)signaling pathway in microglia of cerebral ischemic rat.Methods:Male SD rats were de-vided into sham group,middle cerebral artery occlusion group(MCAO group),MCAO+scutellarin treatment group(MCAO+S group)randomly.Western Blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of SIRT1 and NF-κB(p65)and phosphorylation of NF-κB(p-p65)of ischemic cortex of rats.Results:Results of Western Blot and immunofluorescence showed that scutellarin pretreatment significantly increased the expression of SIRT1 and reduced phosphorylation of NF-κB p65(P<0.05).Conclusion:Scutellarin could regulate SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway in microglia of cerebral ischemic rat.
