摘要
Acute hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)mainly occurs in adults as a result of perioperative cardiac arrest and asphyxia.The benefits of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids(n-3 PUFAs)in maintaining brain growth and development are well documented.However,possible protective targets and underlying mechanisms of mfat-1 mice on HIBD require further investigation.The mfat-1 transgenic mice exhibited protective effects on HIBD,as indicated by reduced infarct range and improved neurobehavioral defects.RNA-seq analysis showed that multiple pathways and targets were involved in this process,with the anti-inflammatory pathway as the most significant.This study has shown for the first time that mfat-1 has protective effects on HIBD in mice.Activation of a G protein-coupled receptor 120(GPR120)-related anti-inflammatory pathway may be associated with perioperative and postoperative complications,thus innovating clinical intervention strategy may potentially benefit patients with HIBD.
