摘　　要：目的探讨电针(EA)刺激足三里、内关穴对脑缺血大鼠的影响及对mTOR信号通路的调控作用。方法将75只大鼠按随机数字表法分为假手术(Sham)组、大脑中动脉阻塞(MCAO)模型3 d组、EA干预3 d组、MCAO模型7 d组、EA干预7 d组,每组15只。除Sham组外,其余组采用Longa线栓法构建永久性MCAO大鼠模型,EA干预组术后每日治疗内关和足三里穴20 min。于相应时间点对各组行神经功能缺损评分,采用2,3,5-三苯基四氮唑(TTC)染色分析脑梗死体积,HE和尼氏染色评估脑缺血后病理改变,Western blot法检测梗死侧大脑皮层中雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)通路相关因子蛋白激酶B(AKT)、磷酸化mTOR(p-mTOR)、总mTOR蛋白的表达,实时荧光定量PCR检测梗死侧大脑皮层中LC3B、Beclin-1和B淋巴细胞瘤-2相关蛋白X(Bax)mRNA的表达。结果与Sham组相比,MCAO模型组各时间点神经功能缺损评分升高(P<0.05),大脑皮层区出现大片坏死及炎性浸润,大量神经元坏死,细胞排列紊乱,完整神经元数量显著减少(P<0.05),LC3B、Beclin-1 mRNA表达显著降低(P<0.05),MCAO模型7 d组的Bax mRNA表达显著增加(P<0.05),并且mTOR磷酸化水平(p-mTOR/t-mTOR)显著高于MCAO模型3 d组(P<0.05)。与MCAO模型组相比,EA干预7 d组大鼠神经功能缺损评分降低,EA干预3 d组和7 d组脑梗死面积百分比均明显降低(P<0.05),大脑皮层区坏死灶显著减小,炎性浸润改善,细胞排列不规律,完整神经元数量显著增加(P<0.05)。与MCAO模型7 d组相比,EA干预7 d组LC3B、Beclin-1 mRNA表达显著增加,Bax mRNA表达显著降低,p-mTOR/t-mTOR水平显著降低(均P<0.05)。AKT蛋白在各组中表达无明显差异。结论EA刺激足三里、内关穴对脑缺血性损伤具有神经保护作用,并诱导自噬发生,抑制凋亡反应,其机制可能与抑制mTOR信号通路活化有关。Objective To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)stimulation at“Zusanli”and“Neiguan”points on cerebral ischemia and the mTOR signaling pathway in rats.Methods A total of 75 rats were divided into the sham group,the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)model 3-d group,the EA intervention 3-d group,the MCAO model 7-d group,and the EA intervention 7-d group by random number table method,with 15 rats in each group.Except for the sham group,the permanent MCAO rat model was constructed using the Longa thread embolization method.The EA intervention group was treated at"Neiguan"and"Zusanli"points for 20 min daily after surgery.The neurological deficits were scored at the corresponding time points in each group.2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium(TTC)staining was used to analyze the cerebral infarct volume.HE and Nissler staining were used to assess the post-ischemic pathological changes.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression levels of mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)pathway-related factors protein kinase B(AKT),p-mTOR and t-mTOR protein in cerebral cortex on the infarct side.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression levels of LC3B,Beclin-1 and B lymphocytoma-2-associated protein X(Bax)mRNA in cerebral cortex on the infarct side.Results Compared with the sham group,neurological deficit scores at all time points increased in the MCAO group(P<0.05),large necrotic and inflammatory infiltrates in cortical areas,massive neuronal necrosis,disturbed cell arrangement and significantly reduced intact neurons(P<0.05).There were significantly decreased LC3B and Beclin-1 mRNA expression(P<0.05),and Bax mRNA expression was significantly increased in the MCAO model 7-d group(P<0.05).The phosphorylation level of mTOR(p-mTOR/t-mTOR)was significantly higher in the MCAO model 7-d group than that in the MCAO model 3-d group(P<0.05).Compared with the MCAO group,the neurological deficit score was significantly reduced in the EA intervention 7-d group,and the percentage of brain inf
