This study aims to investigate whether tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) can stimulate angiogenesis in cerebral microvascular endothelial cells and alleviate cerebral ischemic stroke(CIS) and to explore the underlying mechanisms. In the animal study, adult Sprague-Dawley rats(n=15) were assigned into sham surgery(sham), middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(MCAO/R), and MCAO/R+TMP(intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg·kg~(-1)) groups. The neurological function was evaluated by the Z-Longa method. The cerebral infarction volume was detected by TTC staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), angiopoietin(Ang), and platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF). Immunofluorescence staining was employed to detect Ki67 and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA) and slient information regulator 1(SIRT1). Western blot was employed to determine the expression levels of VEGFA, SIRT1, angiopoietin-2(Ang-2), and platelet-derived growth factor B(PDGFB). In the cell study, mouse brain-derived endothelial cells(Bend.3) were cultured, and the optimal concentration of TMP was determined. Then, VEGF, Ang, and PDGF were detected by ELISA after the addition of cabozantinib. Western blot was employed to measure the expression of VEGFA, Ang-2, and PDGFB. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect CD31, CD34, and Ki67, and the proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability of Bend.3 cells were observed in vitro. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were performed to measure the expression of SIRT1 and VEGFA after addition of the SIRT1-specific inhibitor selisistat(EX-527). The results showed that compared with the sham group, the MCAO/R group had severe neurological function damage, increased infarction volume, up-regulated expression of VEGF, VEGFA, Ang, Ang-2, PDGF, and PDGFB, and down-regulated expression of Ki67 and SIRT1(P<0.01). Compared with the MCAO/R group, the MCAO/R+TMP group presented alleviated neurological function damage, reduced infarction volume, and activated expression of VEGF, VEGFA, Ang, Ang-2, PDGF, PDGFB, Ki67, and SIRT1(P<0.01). The cell experiments showed that compared with the normal group, Bend.3 cells were activated by oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R) treatment(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the OGD/R group, the OGD/R+TMP group upregulated the expression levels of VEGF, VEGFA, Ang, Ang-2, PDGF, PDGFB, SIRT1, Ki67, CD31, and CD34, enhanced the angiogenic ability of Bend.3 cells without being inhibited by BMS or EX-527(P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.001). The results suggest that TMP can activate the SIRT1/VEGFA signaling pathway to stimulate angiogenesis and alleviate CIS injury.
