Danshensu Enhances Cerebral Angiogenesis in Mice by Regulating the PI3K/Akt/Mtor/VEGF Signaling Axis.
Cerebral infraction seriously affects the life quality of patients. Danshensu has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effects. However, the therapeutic function of Danshensu in cerebral vascular injury is still unclear.. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was used to construct the cerebral infraction model. Wound healing and tube formation assays were used to evaluate angiogenesis in vitro. Western blot assay was used to evaluate the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. The laser Doppler scanner was used to measure the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the area around the infarction, and the adhesion removal test was used to measure the sensorimotor function. The Modified Neurological Severity Score was performed to evaluate the cognitive functions of mice.. Danshensu promoted the proliferation of bEnd.3 cells and angiogenesis in vitro. Danshensu upregulated the expression of VEGF through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in bEnd.3 cells. Danshensu improved rCBF restoration and attenuated the behavioral deficits in mice post-MCAO/R.. Danshensu enhances angiogenesis through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/VEGF signaling pathway in a mouse model of cerebral ischemic injury.

Neuroprotective effect of Danshensu derivatives as anti-ischaemia agents on SH-SY5Y cells and rat brain.
Novel Danshensu derivatives (3-8) were designed and synthesized to improve bioactivity based on the strategy of 'medicinal chemical hybridization'. Our previous studies indicated that these compounds exhibited noticeable cardioprotective activities. Here, we investigate whether these novel Danshensu derivatives exert neuroprotective activities. An in vitro study revealed that these compounds could increase cell viability and reduce LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) leakage. Moreover, Danshensu-cysteine derivative compounds 6 and 8 could significantly inhibit lipid peroxidation of cell membrane and regulate the expression of apoptosis-related protein (Bcl-2, Bax and caspase 3). An in vivo study demonstrated that treatment with compound 6 at 30 mg/kg markedly decreased the infarct volume of MCAO (middle cerebral artery occlusion) insulted rat brain. Furthermore, treatment with compound 6 showed the antioxidant capacity by increasing the activity of SOD (superoxide dismutase) and GPx (glutathione peroxidase) and decreasing the level of MDA (malondialdehyde) and the ROS (reactive oxygen species) production significantly. These results suggested that these novel conjugates exert significant neuroprotective effects as anti-ischaemia agents and those with high potential merit further investigation.
