摘要:

目的:探讨阿特拉津对青春期大鼠黑质区多巴胺能神经元的损伤作用。方法:将4周龄的Wistar雄性大鼠40只随机分为4组,分别为对照组(1%甲基纤维素)、阿特拉津低(50 mg/kg)、中(100 mg/kg)和高(200 mg/kg)剂量组,每组10只,连续灌胃45 d后处死。收集中脑黑质部分,采用免疫组织化学法(SP法)检测神经元细胞中酪氨酸羟化酶(TH)的变化,并采用实时定量PCR法(qPCR)和Western blot检测多巴胺能神经元损伤相关基因mRNA和蛋白的表达情况。结果:免疫组化结果显示,200 mg/kg ATR组中TH阳性细胞数较对照组显著减少,差异具有统计学意义(P < 0.01)。qPCR结果显示,与对照组相比,100和200 mg/kg ATR染毒组TH mRNA和Bcl-2 mRNA的表达量显著降低;200 mg/kg ATR组p53 mRNA和Caspase-9 mRNA的表达量显著增加,差异具有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。Western blot结果显示,与对照组相比,100和200 mg/kg ATR染毒组TH和Bcl-2的蛋白表达量显著降低;100和200 mg/kgATR组p53蛋白表达量显著增加;50、100和200 mg/kg ATR组Caspase-9蛋白表达量均显著增加,差异均具有统计学意义(P均 < 0.05)。结论:阿特拉津可以影响大鼠黑质区多巴胺能神经元损伤相关基因mRNA和蛋白的表达。

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To study effects of atrazine (ATR) on neuronal degeneration in adolescent rats. METHODS: 4 weeks old Wistar male rats were randomly subdivided into 4 groups:control and ATR test groups. All rats were treated with ATR:50,100 and 200 mg/kg body weight per day (five times per week) for 45 days by oral gavage. They were sacrificed at 12 h after the last ATR injection. The entire midbrain was collected and stored frozen at -80℃. The presence of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) was detected by immunohistochemistry SP in dopaminergic neurons. TH expression in mRMA and protein was measured using real-time PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical results showed that,compared with the control group,the number of TH positive cells in the 200 mg/kg ATR group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). In addition,qPCR results show that expression of TH mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA was significantly decreased in the 100 and 200 mg/kg ATR groups,and expression of p53 mRNA and Caspase-9 mRNA was significantly increased in the 200 mg/kg ATR group,the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Western blot results show that expression of TH and Bcl-2 protein was significantly decreased in the 100 and 200 mg/kg ATR groups compared with the control group. Expression of p53 protein in the ATR group was significantly increased at 100 and 200 mg/kg,and Caspase-9 protein in he 200 mg/kg ATR group was significantly increased,the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Atrazine caused damage to the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of rats and activated the apoptotic pathway which led to the dopaminergic neuronal death.
