| Abstract |
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a critical pathophysiological change of ischemic stroke. Heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a rate-limiting enzyme of eliminating excessive free heme by combining with hemopexin (HPX), a plasma protein contributing to alleviating infarct size due to ischemia stroke. This study was to investigate whether HPX could improve angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion via up-regulating HO-1. Rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham, MCAO, MCAO + Vehicle, MCAO + HPX and MCAO + HPX + protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX, an HO-1 inhibitor). Cerebral I/R was induced by MCAO. Saline, vehicle, HPX and HPX + ZnPPIX were respectively given to MCAO group, MCAO + Vehicle group, MCAO + HPX group and MCAO + HPX + ZnPPIX group at the moment after reperfusion by intracerebroventricular injection. Neurological behavioral scores(NBS) was assessed at 24 h and 7d after I/R. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to analyze the mRNA level of HO-1. Angiogenesis in penumbra area was assessed by immunofluorescence detection at 7d after I/R. Serum endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) was assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 24 h and 7d after I/R. Compared with sham group, the NBS and the mRNA levels of HO-1 at 24 h and 7d after I/R in MCAO group decreased notably (P < 0.05), the new vessel density in ischemia penumbra increased notably at 7d after I/R (P < 0.05), the serum eNOS level increased at 24 h and 7d after I/R (P < 0.05). MCAO group and MCAO + Vehicle group showed no significant differences (P > 0.05). In the MCAO + HPX group, compared with MCAO + Vehicle group, the NBS and the mRNA levels of HO-1 increased drastically at 24 h and 7d after I/R (P < 0.05), the new vessel density in ischemia penumbra increased significantly at 7d after I/R (P < 0.05), the serum eNOS level at 24 h and 7d after I/R ascended notably (P < 0.05). Compared with MCAO + HPX group, the NBS assessment, new vessel density and serum eNOS level decreased at corresponding time points after I/R in MCAO + HPX+ ZnPPIX group (P < 0.05). HPX can promote angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats via up-regulating HO-1. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 January 2018.
All research outputs
#17,925,346
of 23,015,156 outputs
Outputs from BMC Anesthesiology
#853
of 1,509 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#310,632
of 442,518 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Anesthesiology
#35
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,015,156 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,509 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,518 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
