Objective To explore the protective mechanism of calcium-activated chloride channels involved in sevoflurane on neurovascular units after cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods TMEM16A local brain knockout rats were divided into sham operation group, model group, LV-shTMEM16A group, sevoflurane group, sevoflurane + LV-shTMEM16A group. Except for the sham operation group, the middle artery cerebral ischemia model was established in other groups. During the middle artery ischemia, sevoflurane group and sevoflurane +LV-shTMEM16A group were treated with continuous inhalation of 3% sevoflurane. The content of Ca²⁺ and Cl^- in neurons was detected after 2 h of cerebral ischemia. Neurological function was assessed after 3 days. The rats were killed, and the brain tissues of the rats were analyzed by TTC staining. TUNEL staining was used to observe the TUNEL staining positive cell rate in the brain tissues of the rats, and CD31 immunohistochemical method was used to detect the neovascularization marker CD31. The expressions of apoptosis-related and neurotrophic proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results Compared with the model group, the concentrations of Ca²⁺ and Cl^- in the neurons of sevoflurane group were decreased, the neural function scores were decreased, and the cerebral infarction size was significantly reduced. In sevoflurane group, the expressions of CD31 and VEGF protein were further increased, the rate of TUNEL stained positive cells was decreased, the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 were decreased, and the expressions of neurotrophic proteins TGF-β, BDNF and TrkB were increased. Compared with sevoflurane group, although there was no change in Cl^- in sevoflurane + LV-shTMEM16A group, there was an increase in Ca²⁺ concentration, an increase in neural function score, an increase in cerebral infarction area, a decrease in the expression of CD31 and VEGF protein, and an increase in the rate of TUNEL staining positive cells. Expression of apoptosis-associated proteins Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 increased, while expression of neurotrophic proteins TGF-β, BDNF, and TrkB decreased. Conclusion Sevoflurane may inhibit the expression of TMEM16A protein and reduce the Cl^- and Ca²⁺ concentration. It inhibits neuronal apoptosis and promotes the regeneration of neurovascular units, which finally achieves the effect of reducing neurological damage.
