Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Gastrodin can activate the Notch 1 signaling pathway in the ischemic brain area to produce neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, and to elucidate the role of Notch 1 and NF-κB signaling pathways in the Gastrodin-induced cerebral ischemic tolerance. Material and methods: The focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model of middle cerebral artery embolism was established. TTC staining was applied to detect cerebral infarction. Tunel/NeuN immunofluorescence double labeling was employed to detect apoptosis. WB was used to detect the expressions of proteins related to the Notch 1 and NF-κB pathways. Results: Gastrodin can reduce neuron apoptosis in hippocampus after MCAO/R injury. After DAPT blocked Notch 1 signaling, the neuroprotective effects of Gastrodin improving neural function score, reducing cerebral infarction volume, and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, were all reversed. Compared with the MCAO/R group, DAPT blocking Notch 1 signaling can also improve the neurological score of rats after MCAO/R injury, reduce cerebral infarct volume, and reduce neuronal apoptosis. Gastrodin can activate Notch 1 and NF-κB signaling pathways in cerebral ischemic areas and increase the expression of related proteins. After DAPT inhibited the Notch 1 signaling in the ipsilateral brain region, the phosphorylation level was significantly decreased, indicating that the activity of the NF-κB pathway was regulated by the Notch 1 signaling. Conclusion: Gastrodin-mediated protection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is related to the activation of Notch 1 signaling and the up-regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway activity in neurons of ischemic brain area.
