摘要:

N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体功能减退是精神分裂症的病理生理学研究的基础,阻断N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体会损害学习记忆能力,并诱导大脑发生病理形态变化,但既往研究少有关注N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体亚基1在精神分裂症海马神经发生中的作用。(1)实验以腹腔注射0.6mg/kgN-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体激动剂MK-801,1次/d,连续14d诱导建立精神分裂症小鼠模型,第15天时,侧脑室注射N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸。(2)以免疫荧光染色检测海马齿状回区N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体亚基1以及标记新生神经元的BrdU和Ki67的阳性细胞数量。(3)结果发现,精神分裂症模型小鼠海马齿状回区N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体亚基1阳性细胞数量增加,而BrdU和Ki67的阳性细胞数量明显减少;而N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸则逆转上述变化。(4)实验结果表明,N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体亚基1可以调节精神分裂症样小鼠海马齿状回区的神经发生,支持N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体亚基1可能作为治疗精神分裂症治疗有希望的靶点。动物实验于2014-03-06经宁夏医科大学实验动物伦理委员会(批准号2014-014)。

Abstract:

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor hypofunction is the basis of pathophysiology in schizophrenia. Blocking the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor impairs learning and memory abilities and induces pathological changes in the brain. Previous studies have paid little attention to the role of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 1 (NR1) in neurogenesis in the hippocampus of schizophrenia. A mouse model of schizophrenia was established by intraperitoneal injection of 0.6 mg/kg MK-801, once a day, for 14 days. In N-methyl-D-aspartate-treated mice, N-methyl-D-aspartate was administered by intracerebroventricular injection in schizophrenia mice on day 15. The number of NR1-, Ki67- or BrdU-immunoreactive cells in the dentate gyrus was measured by immunofluorescence staining. Our data showed the number of NR1-immunoreactive cells increased along with the decreasing numbers of BrdU- and Ki67-immunoreactive cells in the schizophrenia groups compared with the control group. N-methyl-D-aspartate could reverse the above changes. These results indicated that NR1 can regulate neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of schizophrenia mice, supporting NR1 as a promising therapeutic target in the treatment of schizophrenia. This study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of the Ningxia Medical University, China (approval No. 2014-014) on March 6, 2014.
