Salvianolic acid A prevented cerebrovascular endothelial injury caused by acute ischemic stroke through inhibiting the Src signaling pathway
Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by ruptured or blocked blood vessels. For the prevention of ischemic stroke, the coagulation state of blood and cerebrovascular protection should be considered.

Zusammenfassung: | Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by ruptured or blocked blood vessels. For the prevention of ischemic stroke, the coagulation state of blood and cerebrovascular protection should be considered. Our previous study has shown that salvianolic acid A (SAA), which is a water-soluble component from the root of

, prevents thrombosis with a mild inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. In this study we investigated the preventive effects of SAA on cerebrovascular endothelial injury caused by ischemia in vivo and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in vitro, and explored the underlying mechanisms. An autologous thrombus stroke model was established in SD rats by electrocoagulation. SAA (10 mg/kg) was orally administered twice a day for 5 days before the operation. The rats were sacrificed at 24 h after the operation. We showed that pretreatment with SAA significantly improved the neurological deficits, intracerebral hemorrhage, BBB disruption, and vascular endothelial dysfunction as compared with model group. In human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs), pretreatment with SAA (10 μM) significantly inhibited OGD-induced cell viability reduction and degradation of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, claudin-5). Furthermore, we found that SAA inhibited the upregulation of Src signaling pathway in vivo and vitro and reversed the increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) after ischemic stroke. In conclusion, our results suggest that SAA protects cerebrovascular endothelial cells against ischemia and OGD injury via suppressing Src signaling pathway. These findings show that pretreatment with SAA is a potential therapeutic strategy for the prevention of ischemic stroke. |
