The number of apoptotic cells and expression of apoptosis-associated factors (including caspase 3, pAkt/Akt, pGSK3β/GSK3β, and β-catenin) in pericontusional cortices of mice exposed to sham, TBI, and TBI + HBO treatment were measured and analyzed using TUNEL assay, quantitative reverse-transcription PCR, and Western blot.Results: Results showed that acute TBI increased the number of apoptotic neurons and mRNA expression and activated caspase 3 protein. With regard to proteins, acute TBI also resulted in decreased levels of pAkt/Akt, pGSK3β/GSK3β, and β-catenin, which facilitates neuronal apoptosis. This study shows that HBO therapy reversed these changes of pAkt/Akt, pGSK3β/GSK3β, and β-catenin induced by acute TBI and attenuated the apoptotic process in the pericontusional cortex.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the beneficial effect of HBO therapy on neuronal apoptosis caused by acute TBI. Furthermore, the mechanism underlying the therapeutic effect of HBO on acute TBI partly involves the Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway.
