Recently, we reported that PGA1 can inhibit excitotoxin-induced apoptosis of striatal neurons in vivo and rotenone-induced apoptosis ofcultured SH-SY5Y cells, suggesting that PGA1 may have neuroprotective efficacy, possibly mediated by inhibition of NF-kB activation. The present study evaluated the neuroprotective potential of PGA1 and its effect on IKK/I( B/NF-kB/c-myc signaling pathway in rat models of permanent focal cerebral ischemia. METHODS Permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) model was constructed by intraluminal suture cannulation through the internal carotid artery in Wistar rats.展开更多
