The protective mechanism of TRPV4 channel inhibitor on blood-brain barrier damage after traumatic brain injury in rats
Objective:To investigate the protective mechanism of TRPV4 channel inhibitor on blood-brain barrier(BBB)damage after traumatic brain injury(TBI).Methods:The TBI rat model was established.TRPV4 channel inhibitor HC067047 or PKC-δ inhibitor Rottlerin was used to detect changes in BBB permeability,neurological function score,and the expression of microvascular endothelial tight junction proteins ZO-1 and ZO-2 in brain injury areas after TBI.Results:Compared with the Sham group,BBB permeability significantly increased,brain neurological function score significantly decreased,and the expression of ZO-1 and ZO-2 significantly decreased in TBI group(P＜0.05).Compared with the TBI group,after administration of HC067047 or Rottlerin,changes in BBB permeability,brain neurological function score,the expression of ZO-1 and ZO-2 were partially reversed(P＜0.05).Conclusions:TBI-induced BBB injury may be mediated by TRPV4 channel regulating PKC-δ signaling pathway to affect the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and ZO-2.Inhibition of TRPV4 channel function or PKC-δ signal molecule can partially alleviate BBB damage induced by TBI.This study may provide new ideas for the treatment of clinical TBI.
