摘要:

目的:探讨阿特拉津对多巴胺神经元凋亡相关因子表达的影响。方法:将7~8月龄的SD雄性大鼠40只随机分为4组,即对照组和阿特拉津低(10 mg/kg)、中(50 mg/kg)、高(100 mg/kg)剂量组,每组10只,连续灌胃90 d后处死,收集中脑黑质部分,通过透射电镜观察神经元细胞的凋亡情况,分别采用Real-time PCR和Western blot检测凋亡相关基因Bax、Bcl-2、Caspase-3 mRNA和蛋白的表达情况。结果:与对照组相比,随阿特拉津染毒剂量增加,电镜下神经元细胞线粒体出现肿胀、空泡以及线粒体自噬等现象;Bax mRNA及蛋白的表达随剂量增加而增加(P均<0.05);Caspase-3的mRNA在低剂量下表达增高(P均<0.05),但在中、高剂量下表达下降(P均<0.05),其蛋白的表达量随剂量的增加而增加(P均<0.05);但Bcl-2 mRNA及蛋白的表达随剂量增加均呈下降趋势,差异均有统计学意义(P均<0.05)。结论:阿特拉津可通过调节线粒体凋亡相关因子的表达促进多巴胺神经元凋亡。

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of atrazine(ATR) on apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons. METHODS:The 7-8 months old SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups, control group and ATR-dose groups (10, 50, 100 mg/kg). The rats were gavaged for 90 days then sacrificed. Midbrain nigra was collected and stored frozen in -80 ℃. We used transmission electron microscope to examine the apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons, Real-time PCR to measure apoptotic genes Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression levels and Western blot to evaluate apoptotic proteins Bax and Caspase-3 expression levels. RESULTS:Compared with the control group, with increasing dose, dopaminergic neurons developed mitochondrial swelling, vacuoles and mitochondrial autophagy. Compared with the control group, the Bax mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased (P<0.05), whilst the Bcl-2 mRNA and protein levels of each group were significantly lower than control group(P<0.05). The expression of Capase-3 mRNA level in 10 mg/kg group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.05) and in the 50 and 100 mg/kg groups were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). The expressions of Caspase-3 protein levels were increased with increasing does in the medium and high dose groups(P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Atrazine, through mitochondrial apoptotic signal could cause the death of neurons.
