Abstract

Fasudil has been demonstrated to possess a protective effect in neural injury; however, its protective effect on convulsive brain injury remains to be assessed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the latent mechanism and effect of fasudil on cognitive function following status convulsion (SC) in rats. Initially, to determine the effects of SC, the expression levels of Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA)/Rho‑associated protein kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway‑associated proteins were measured by western blot analysis in 16 rats. To investigate the effects of fasudil on cognitive function in SC rats, a further 40 rats were assigned to four groups: Group I (healthy untreated rats), group II (healthy rats treated with fasudil), group III (SC rats) and group IV (SC rats treated with fasudil). An object‑in‑place memory task and the Morris Water Maze test were subsequently performed. Histopathological alterations in brain tissue and SC latency were additionally analyzed. Following SC, protein expression levels of myelin‑associated glycoprotein, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and leucine rich repeat and immunoglobulin‑like domain‑containing protein 1 were significantly increased (P<0.05) and levels of neurite outgrowth inhibitor protein A were significantly decreased (P<0.01). SC had no effect on RhoA level (P=0.921); however, it significantly increased the levels of phosphorylated RhoA (P<0.01). Cognitive function was significantly decreased following SC and significantly increased following fasudil intervention. Fasudil intervention improved CA1 structure, which was lost following SC. SC severely impaired cognitive function and affected the expression of neurite growth inhibitory factors. Fasudil treatment improved cognitive function and central nervous system (CNS) injury, and decreased SC susceptibility in rats. Fasudil and SC may regulate the CNS by affecting the expression of neurite growth inhibitory factors in the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway.
