Project description:In this work, we discussed the effects Acanthopanax senticosus Harms (ASE) combined with Gastrodia elata Blume (GEB) in the treatment of CIR injury. In pharmacodynamic studies, found that co-administration of ASE and GEB may improve neuronal injury and prevent neuronal apoptosis by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, and also help prevent CIR injury. On the basis of our hypothesis, we combined the results of transcriptomic and metabonomic analyses and found that ASE and GEB could prevent cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion by targeting phenylalanine, pyrimidine, methionine, and sphingolipid metabolism. This study provides the basis for the compatibility and efficacy of ASE and GEB.
