Resveratrol (RESV) improves histopathological and behavioral outcomes in diseases of the central nervous system. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies investigating its neuroprotective effects on secondary brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the neuroprotective function of resveratrol following ICH. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: Sham, ICH and ICH+RESV groups. Rats underwent ICH and received an intraperitoneal injection of RESV daily. Rotarod and open field tests were performed to evaluate improvements in motor disturbance pre- and post-surgery. Rats were sacrificed following the final behavioral test; subsequently, neuron injury and cell death in the hippocampus and microglia activation in the cortex were determined using Nissl staining and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 immunofluorescence staining, respectively. Compared with the ICH group, rats treated with resveratrol for 2 weeks performed significantly better in behavioral tests. Furthermore, less neural damage in the hippocampus and decreased activation of microglia was observed in the ICH+RESV group. The results of the present study therefore indicate that resveratrol may alleviate secondary brain injury following ICH.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
