摘要:

 

去铁胺(DFO)是一种临床上治疗铁离子过载疾病的药物,有报道称其可用于修复脊髓损伤,但是具体机制不详。实验设计采用脊髓损伤打击器制作脊髓胸10(T10)节段脊髓挫伤大鼠模型,采用去铁胺腹腔注射,设Injury+DFO组,Injury组作对照。结果显示,脊髓损伤后2 days2 weeks,和Injury相比,Injury+DFO组大鼠脊髓组织总铁离子水平、促炎因子肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素1β、促凋亡蛋白Caspase-3蛋白表达、星型胶质细胞标志物GFAP免疫阳性面积、TUNEL阳性细胞数量明显降低,神经元标记物NeuN免疫阳性细胞数量及少突胶质细胞标志物CNPase阳性面积增加。脊髓损伤后14-56 d,损伤+DFO组大鼠后肢运动功能优于损伤组。结果说明,DFO可降低脊髓损伤后总铁离子水平、肿瘤坏死因子α和白细胞介素1β蛋白的表达,并且抑制细胞凋亡和胶质瘢痕形成,促进运动功能恢复。

Abstract:

Deferoxamine, a clinically safe drug used for treating iron overload, also repairs spinal cord injury although the mechanism for this action remains unknown. Here, we determined whether deferoxamine was therapeutic in a rat model of spinal cord injury and explored potential mechanisms for this effect. Spinal cord injury was induced by impacting the spinal cord at the thoracic T10 vertebra level. One group of injured rats received deferoxamine, a second injured group received saline, and a third group was sham operated. Both 2 days and 2 weeks after spinal cord injury, total iron ion levels and protein expression levels of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β and the pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3 in the spinal cords of the injured deferoxamine-treated rats were significantly lower than those in the injured saline-treated group. The percentage of the area positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity and the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling-positive cells were also significantly decreased both 2 days and 2 weeks post injury, while the number of NeuN-positive cells and the percentage of the area positive for the oligodendrocyte marker CNPase were increased in the injured deferoxamine-treated rats. At 14–56 days post injury, hind limb motor function in the deferoxamine-treated rats was superior to that in the saline-treated rats. These results suggest that deferoxamine decreases total iron ion, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and caspase-3 expression levels after spinal cord injury and inhibits apoptosis and glial scar formation to promote motor function recovery.
