- Abstract
- Ischemic strokes originate whenever the circulation to the brain is interrupted, either temporarily or permanently, resulting in a lack of oxygen and other nutrients. This deprivation primarily impacts the cerebral cortex and striatum, resulting in neurodegeneration. Several experimental stroke models have demonstrated that the potent antioxidant quercetin offers protection against stroke-related damage. Multiple pathways have been associated with quercetin's ability to safeguard the brain from ischemic injury. This study examines whether the administration of quercetin alters glutamate NMDA and GluR1 receptor signaling in the cortex and striatum 72 h after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. The administration of 10 mg/kg of quercetin shielded cortical and striatal neurons from cell death induced by ischemia in adult SD rats. Quercetin reversed the ischemia-induced reduction of NR2a/PSD95, consequently promoting the pro-survival AKT pathway and reducing CRMP2 phosphorylation. Additionally, quercetin decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory pathways while increasing the expression of the postsynaptic protein PSD95. Our results suggest that quercetin may be a promising neuroprotective drug for ischemic stroke therapy as it recovers neuronal damage via multiple pathways. © 2024 The Authors
