Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Profiling Reveals the Protective Effect of Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. & Maxim.) Harms Combined With Gastrodia elata Blume on Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

ABSTRACT: The effects of current treatment strategies used in ischemic stroke are weakened by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CIR) injury. Suitable treatment regimens targeting CIR injury are still lacking. Two herbs, namely, Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. & Maxim.) Harms (ASE) and Gastrodia elata Blume (GEB), have been used as traditional Chinese medicine and are indicated in the treatment of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. However, there are no studies that report the effects of ASE combined with GEB in the treatment of CIR injury. In this study, we used the Zea Longa method to induce CIR injury in male Wistar rats. Results of the pharmacodynamic studies revealed that co-administration of ASE and GEB may improve neuronal injury and prevent neuronal apoptosis by reducing oxidative
