Abstract： The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) on the brain damage in hypoxia hypercapnia induced pulmonary hypertension (HHPH) rats.Forty healthy SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (n =10 for each):control group,hypoxia hypercapnia group,ERS pathway agonist tunicamycin (TM) group and ERS pathway inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) group.The rats of control group lived in normal environment,while the rats of other three groups were raised for four weeks in the tank with 8.5％-11％ O2 and 5％-6％ CO2.TM (0.08 mg/kg,twice a week) and 4-PBA (80 mg/kg,daily) were respectively intraperitoneally injected into the rats of TM and 4-PBA groups,and the hypoxia hypercapnia group was given the same volume of normal saline.The mean pulmonary artery pressure and heart perfusion of the rats were determined and recorded after four-week raising.Then the brain tissue of the rats were quickly taken out for the brain water content measuring and morphological changes observing.The Caspase-3 activity and the apoptotic index of the brain cells were also determined.The protein and mRNA expressions of p-JNK,Caspase-12,CHOP and GRP78 in brain tissues were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR.The results showed that compared with the control group,the mean pulmonary artery pressure,brain water content and brain cells apoptotic index,Caspase-3 activity,the protein and mRNA levels of p-JNK,Caspase-12,CHOP and GRP78 were increased (P ＜ 0.05),and the brain tissues of the rats were obviously damaged in the rats raised in the hypoxia hypercapnia environment;compared with hypoxia hypercapnia group,the mean pulmonary artery pressure,brain water content,brain apoptotic index and Caspase-3 activity,p-JNK,Caspase-12,CHOP,GRP78 protein and mRNA expressions in TM group were increased (P ＜ 0.05),and the brain tissues of the rats were obviously damaged,while all above changes were relieved in 4-PBA group (P ＜ 0.05).These results suggest that excessive ERS may participate in the brain injury induced by HHPH in rats and inhibition of excessive ERS can relieve the brain injury in the rats with HHPH.
