Blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability and oxidative stress have been reported to be important mechanisms for brain damage following ischemic stroke and stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1), a neuroprotective protein, has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress properties. Herein, we report the effect of STC-1 on BBB permeability and brain oxidative stress after stroke in an animal model. Male Wistar received an intracerebroventricularly injection of human recombinant STC-1 (100 ng/kg) or saline and were subjected to sham procedure or global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model. Six and 24 h after I/R, neurological evaluation was performed; at 24 h brain water content was evaluated in the total brain, and BBB permeability, nitrite/nitrate (N/N) concentration, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyls formation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity were determined in the hippocampus, cortex, prefrontal cortex, striatum and cerebellum. Rats exhibited neurological deficit at 6 and 24 h after I/R and STC-1 reduction at 24 h. After I/R there were an increase of brain water content, BBB permeability in the hippocampus, cortex and pre-frontal cortex and N/N in the hippocampus, and STC-1 decreased this level only in the hippocampus. STC-1 decreased lipid peroxidation in the hippocampus, cortex and prefrontal cortex and protein oxidative damage in the hippocampus and cortex. SOD activity decreased in the hippocampus, cortex and prefrontal cortex after I/R and STC-1 reestablished these levels in the hippocampus and cortex. CAT activity decreased only in the hippocampus and cortex and STC-1 increased the CAT activity in the hippocampus. Our data provide the first experimental demonstration that STC-1 reduced brain dysfunction associated with cerebral I/R in rats, by decreasing BBB permeability and oxidative stress parameters.

D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D001929	Brain Edema	Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS).

D002199	Capillary Permeability	The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.
