Abstract Ischemic precondition plays a protective effect during cerebral ischemia. This effect partly depends on the autophagic activity. However, whether the activity of autophagy can exert the protective effects after cerebral ischemia is unclear. In this study, rats were treated with spermidine, an activator of autophagy, and injected with sodium laurate via the internal carotid artery to stimulate cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). The effects of the spermidine precondition on brain injury were evaluated by behavioural test, histology assay, ultrastructure observation, and autophagic-related signals. Furthermore, the mitochondria of brain tissue were isolated, and mitDNA were extracted. The stability of mitDNA was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Results showed that the penetrating artery of the striatum was damaged. This damage was accompanied by neural inflammation characterized by an increase in Fluoro-Jade C (FJC)-positive cells after sodium laurate injection. Spermidine pretreatment decreased the deletion of mitDNA and the autophagy hyperactivity induced by the laurate injection. Likewise, spermidine reduced the neurological deficit and FJC reactivation of striatum at 48 h after laurate injection. These results suggested sodium laurate injection through the internal carotid artery can induce the pathological features of CSVD characterized by the damage of penetrating artery, neurological deficit, mitochondrial impairment, and autophagic hyperactivity. Pretreatment with spermidine can ameliorate these outcomes. Further study indicated that the protective effect of the spermidine precondition is associated with the maintenance of mitochondrial stability and proper autophagy activity.
