Protective Effects ofN-Acetyl-L-Cysteine in Human Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells and Restoration of Motor Function in Neonatal Rats with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy

Abstract: Objective. Since oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are the target cells of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), the present study was aimed at investigating the protective effects of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), a well-known antioxidant and precursor of glutathione, in OPCs as well as in neonatal rats. Methods. In in vitro study, protective effects of NAC on KCN cytotoxicity in F3.Olig2 OPCs were investigated via MTT assay and apoptotic signal analysis. In in vivo study, NAC was administered to … Show more

“…Neonates were obtained from natural delivery, and male pups of post-natal day (PND) 7 underwent HIL; i.e. their left common carotid artery was occluded and placed in an 8% oxygen/92% nitrogen incubator (36°C) for 2 hours 18 , 32 . Finally, the pups were intraperitoneally injected with LPS after 1-hour recovery to induce inflammation, and returned to their dam.…”

“…Each animal was individually placed in a glass cylinder (21 cm in diameter, 34 cm in height) for 3 min. The weight-bearing forepaw to contact the cylinder wall during a full rear was recorded as left (normal), right (impaired), or both 18 , 35 . Paw preference was calculated as [(normal forepaw–impaired forepaw)/(normal forepaw + impaired forepaw + both) × 100%].…”
