Abstract： Objective To investigate the expression of free fatty acid receptor GPR40 and evaluate the possible function of GPR40 in the adult monkey hippocampus after ischemia. Methods According to the post-ischemic adult monkey model of Yamashima, a total of 24 adult monkeys were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham-operated group (control) and post-ischemic day 4, 9, 15 (d4, d9,d15). The expression of free fatty acid receptor GPR40 was detected at the protein level by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry in the adult monkey hippocampus. Results Immunoblotting analysis showed the expression of GPR40 was decreased in CA1 and increased in DG after ischemia (posfischemic group vs control, P＞0.05). Immunohistochemistry data revealed that the double stained cells of GPR40 and NeuN were also decreased by 50% (d15) in CA1 and had no significant changes in DG after ischemia. Interestingly, the co-labeled cells of GPR40 and GFAP were increased 2.5 folds (d4) in post-ischemic SGZ. Conclusions There is the different expression of GPR40 in adult monkey hippocampal CA1 and DG regions after ischemia. Co-labeled cells of GPR40 and GFAP are increased in post-ischemic SGZ, which indicates that polyunsaturated free fatty acid such as DHA, a ligand of GPR40, may alleviate neuronal injury in post-ischemic hippocampus.
