Abstract:
      Purpose: To investigate the effects of estrogen G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) agonist G1 on hippocampal neuronal apoptosis and microglial polarization in rat traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham group, TBI þ vehicle group, TBI þ G1 group. Experimental moderate TBI was induced using Feeney's weigh-drop method. G1 (100mg/kg) or vehicle was intravenously injected from femoral vein at 30 min post-injury. Rats were sacrificed at 24 h after injury for detection of neuronal apoptosis and microglia polarization. Neuronal apoptosis was assayed by immunofluorescent staining of active caspase-3. M1 type microglia markers (iNOS and IL-1b) and M2 type markers (Arg1 and IL-4) were examined by immunoblotting or ELISA. Total protein level of Akt and phosphorylated Akt were assayed by immunoblotting. Results: G1 significantly reduced active caspase-3 positive neurons in hippocampus. Meanwhile G1 increased the ratio of Arg1/iNOS. IL-1b production was decreased but IL-4 was increased after G1 treatment. G1 treatment also increased the active form of Akt. Conclusions: GPR30 agonist G1 inhibited neuronal apoptosis and favored microglia polarization to M2 type.
