- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rehabilitation training on Notch1 and synaptophysin (SYN) levels in brain tissues of rats with chronic cerebral ischemia., Methods: Eighty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into nine groups: three Sham groups, three Model groups, and three training groups. There were nine rats in each group. At different time points, the apoptosis cell rate was analyzed by the TUNEL assay, and the expression levels of Notch1 and SYN in brain tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining and RT-qPCR assay., Results: The apoptosis cell rate of training groups was significantly higher on day 28 ( P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA levels of both Noth1 and SYN in training groups were significantly higher on day 28 ( P < 0.05)., Conclusion: Rehabilitation training could improve nerve cell apoptosis by increasing the expression of both Notch1 and SYN., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest: The authors state no conflict of interest, (© 2020 Mao Jing et al., published by De Gruyter.)
