BBB breakdown promotes inflammation infiltration into the brain, which exacerbates cerebral ischemic injury as a result. Here, we report that 10-O-(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-ginkgolide B methanesulfonate (XQ-1H) , a novel analog of ginkgolide B, alleviates BBB breakdown in hyperlipidemic rats and protects endothelial cells against inflammatory response. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) modeled is- chemic stroke in rats. Before surgery, these rats were fed a cholesterol-rich diet to induce an experimental hyperlip- idemic condition. Additionally, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) incubation with rat brain microvessel endothelial cells (rBMECs) was applied to mimic hyperlipidemia-induced inflammatory injury of BBB. The results indicated more severe infarct size, increased BBB permeability, excessive secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and exaggerated inflammation infiltration of the brain in hyperlipidemic rats following MCAO when compared to rats fed with normal diet. XQ-1H protected BBB integrity, lessoned brain edema and inflammation penetration, down- regulated MMP- 9 and VCMA-1 expressions, and extenuated ischemic infarction. XQ-1H alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory re- sponse in rBMECs, characterized by promoting cell viability, inhibiting TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 releasing, and downregulating NF-KB inflammatory signal and down- stream proteins, such as VCAM-1 and iNOS. In conclusion, the present study shows that XQ-1H stabilizes BBB function following ischemic stroke in hyperlipidemic rats, and the possible mechanisms may be related to inflammation inhibition.展开更多
