| Abstract | Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) is the major active chemical component of the flower of the safflower plant, Carthamus tinctorius L. Previously, its neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury was reported by anti-oxidant action and suppression of thrombin generation. Here, we investigate the role of HSYA in cerebral I/R-mediated apoptosis and possible signaling pathways. Male Wistar rats were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 h, followed by 24 h reperfusion. HSYA was administered via tail-vein injection just 15 min after occlusion. The number of apoptotic cells was measured by TUNEL assay, apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax and the phosphorylation levels of Akt and GSK3β in ischemic penumbra were assayed by western blot. The results showed that administration of HSYA at the doses of 4 and 8 mg/kg significantly inhibited the apoptosis by decreasing the number of apoptotic cells and increasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio in rats subjected to I/R injury. Simultaneously, HSYA treatment markedly increased the phosphorylations of Akt and GSK3β. Blockade of PI3K activity by wortmannin dramatically abolished its anti-apoptotic effect and lowered both Akt and GSK3β phosphorylation levels. Taken together, these results suggest that HSYA protects against cerebral I/R injury partly by reducing apoptosis via PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
