Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of cerebroprotein hydrolysate on nuclear factor-E2 correlation factor 2-cored Keap1-Nrf2/ARE (Nrf2) oxidative stress signaling pathway in patients with acute stroke (AS). Methods Totally 195 AS patients treated in the hospital from October 2017 to October 2020 were divided into study group (n=98) and control group (n=97) according to therapeutic methods. The patients in control group were administered with conventional therapies involving the enhancement of cerebral circulation, improvement of brain function and antiplatelet aggregation, and patients in study group additionally with cerebroprotein hydrolysate on the basis of control group. All patients were treated for 14 days, the efficacy was observed, The key observation was National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, Activity Ability-daily Life (Barthel) Index, inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-8(IL-8) and interleukin-19(IL-19) oxidative stress indexes including serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), vascular endothelial function such as serum adiponectin (APN), and plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF), protein expressions of Nrf2 oxidative stress signaling pathways Keap1, NQO1, ARE and Nrf2.Results Total effective rate in study group (91.84%) and control group (60.82%) was statistically significant difference (P<0.01). After treatment, NIHSS score were significantly lower in study group than in control group. Barthel index was significantly higher in study group than in control group (P<0.01). TNF-α, IL-8, IL-19, MDA, vWF and Keap1 were significantly lower in study group than in control group. Serum SOD, APN, NQO1, ARE and Nrf2 were significantly higher in study group than in control group(P<0.01). Conclusion For AS patients, cerebroprotein hydrolysate can effectively regulate Nrf2 oxidative stress signaling pathway related proteins, and deliver significant effects in improving the vascular endothelial function, controlling inflammation and oxidative stress, and enhancing the neurological function and quality of life.
