Objective: To study the regulating effects of mangiferin on oxidative stress response and mitochondrial pathway apoptosis in spinal cord injury model. Methods: SD rats were selected as the experimental animals and divided into the control group that underwent sham operation, the injury group that were made into spinal cord injury models and the mangiferin group that were made into spinal cord injury models and given mangiferin intervention. 30 d after the intervention, spinal cord tissue was collected, radioimmunoprecipitation kit was used to determine the contents of oxidative stress indexes ROS, H2O2, SOD, GSH-Px and CAT, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit was used to determine the contents of apoptosis indexes SKIP, ASK1, Fas, tBid, APAF-1 and Caspase-3. Results: ROS, H2O2, SKIP, ASK1, Fas, tBid, APAF-1 and caspase-3 contents in spinal cord tissue of injury group were significantly higher than those of control group whereas SOD, GSH-Px and CAT contents were significantly lower than those of control group; ROS, H2O2, SKIP, ASK1, Fas, tBid, APAF-1 and caspase-3 contents in spinal cord tissue of mangiferin group were significantly lower than those of injury group whereas SOD, GSH-Px and CAT contents were significantly higher than those of injury group. Conclusion: Mangiferin has inhibitory effect on oxidative stress response and mitochondrial pathway apoptosis in spinal cord injury model.
