Background: It is well accepted that both rosuvastatin and resveratrol exert neuroprotective effects on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury through some common pathways. Resveratrol has also been demonstrated to protect against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury through enhancing autophagy. Thus, we hypothesized that combined rosuvastatin and resveratrol pretreatment had synergistic effects on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Materials and Methods: Adult male Sprague Dawley rats receiving middle cerebral artery occlusion surgery as animal model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury were randomly assigned to 4 groups: control, resveratrol alone pretreatment, rosuvastatin alone pretreatment, and combined rosuvastatin and resveratrol pretreatment. Rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg) or resveratrol (50 mg/kg) was administrated once a day for 7 days before cerebral ischemia onset. Results: We found that combined rosuvastatin and resveratrol pretreatment not only significantly decreased the neurologic defective score, cerebral infarct volume, the levels of caspase-3, and Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) but also significantly increased the ratios of Bcl-2/Bax and LC3II/LC3I, as well as the level of Becline-1, compared with resveratrol alone or rosuvastatin alone pretreatment group. Rosuvastatin alone pretreatment significantly increased the ratio of LC3II/LC3I and the level of Beclin-1. However, there were no significant differences in the neurologic defective score, cerebral infarct volume, the levels of caspase-3, IL-1 beta, and Beclin-1, and the ratios of Bcl-2/Bax and LC3II/LC3I between resveratrol pretreatment group and rosuvastatin pretreatment group. Conclusions: Synergistically enhanced antiapoptosis, anti-inflammation, and autophagy activation might be responsible for the synergistic neuroprotective effects of combining rosuvastatin with resveratrol on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.
