Abstract
ObjectiveWe investigated the dynamic changes of Nogo-A protein in brain and the effects of mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) on its expression after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods: Western-blotting and neurological scoring of 45 rats subjected to cardiac arrest and CPR with and without MTR were performed to investigate the changes in the expression of Nogo-A protein in the hippocampus and cortex over a period of time ranging from 6 h to 72 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Results: Nogo-A expression levels were increased at 6 h after CPR in the hippocampus and cortex, peaked at 24 h in the cortex, and at 48 h in the hippocampus. The expression of Nogo-A in the MTR group was significantly lower at 12 h (p < 0.05) compared to those with no MTR after ROSC. Conclusions: MTR blunts the expression of Nogo-A protein in the hippocampus and cortex after cardiac arrest and resuscitation, and MTR may provide cerebral protection after ischemia.
