[Abstract] Objective: Sought to discern the changes in aquaporin magnetic resonance molecular imaging (AQP MRI) parameter after experimental stroke.Materials and Methods: Thirty-one adult SD male rats were randomly divided into two groups: ischemia group which underwent 1 h right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) and sham group. T2 FLAIR , conventional DWI and AQP MRI examination was executed 48 h after reperfusion. And AQP4 expression was detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence.Results: The percent change of T2 values of lesions in ischemia group was increased up to 56.655±7.359, which was much higher than that of sham group (vs 2.334±2.203, P <0.01), whereas the homologous ADC values were remarkably decreased (-24.491±1.924 vs-0.960±3.824, P<0.01). Result of AQP MRI showed that the percent change of AQP ADC of ischemia group was significantly decreased than that of sham group(-25.218±8.839 vs 0.209±1.279, P<0.01). Western blot result showed that the AQP4 expression in affected side of ischemia group was higher than that of sham group. Contrastive analysis showed that areas with high AQP ADC values presented low positive staining of AQP4 in immunofluorescence, and areas with low AQP ADC values presented high positive staining.Conclusions: AQP MRI could display the distribution of aquaporin in vivo, which would be of great importance to assess progression of cerebral ischemia.
