地塞米松是一种糖皮质激素药物,具有抗炎、抑制免疫等多种药理作用,广泛应用于治疗多种疾病。临床上常使用地塞米松来促进早产儿的肺成熟以及预防胎儿呼吸窘迫综合征。目前的流行病学以及试验研究表明,地塞米松孕期暴露会增加子代患软骨病、肾脏损伤等疾病的风险。为了探究孕期地塞米松暴露(prenatal dexamethasone exposure, PDE)对大鼠子代胎鼠海马神经元增殖发育以及胎鼠海马突触可塑性形成的影响,对孕中晚期Wistar大鼠皮下注射地塞米松(0.2 mg·kg-1·d-1),对照组注射等剂量0.9%氯化钠溶液。收集GD20子代海马,采用实时荧光定量PCR以及Western blot法对海马神经增殖、突触可塑性形成和APPL1(adaptor protein containing pH domain, PTB domain and leucine zipper motif 1)进行相关功能检测,并进一步使用投射电镜观察海马突触超微结构。结果显示,与空白对照组相比,PDE胎海马Ki67、增殖细胞核抗原(proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA)、突触融合蛋白(syntaxin)、25 kD突触相关蛋白(SNAP25)等特异性指标显著降低,提示PDE对胎海马神经增殖、突触发育具有不同程度的抑制作用。Western blot 结果显示,PDE组突触后致密蛋白95(PSD95)显著下调,进一步电镜结果证实PDE可导致子代海马突触可塑性受损。APPL1检测结果显示,PDE子代海马APPL1表达水平下调,故而推测PDE可能是通过调节APPL1表达改变子代海马突触可塑性。研究结果揭示PDE具有海马发育毒性并可导致海马神经元增殖减少以及突触可塑性发育损伤。研究结果为指导孕期合理用药和有效评估胎儿海马发育毒性风险提供了实验与理论依据。 相似文献

神经元的突触可塑性与学习和记忆 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

大量研究表明,神经元的突触可塑性包括功能可塑性和结构可塑性,与学习和记忆密切相关.最近,在经过训练的动物海马区,记录到了学习诱导的长时程增强(long term potentiation,LTP),如果用激酶抑制剂阻断晚期LTP,就会使大鼠丧失训练形成的记忆.这些结果指出,LTP可能是形成记忆的分子基础.因此,进一步研究哺乳动物脑内突触可塑性的分子机制,对揭示学习和记忆的神经基础有重要意义.此外,在精神迟滞性疾病和神经退行性疾病患者脑内记录到异常的LTP,并发现神经元的树突棘数量减少,形态上产生畸变或萎缩,同时发现,产生突变的基因大多编码调节突触可塑性的信号通路蛋白,故突触可塑性研究也将促进精神和神经疾病的预防和治疗.综述了突触可塑性研究的最新进展,并展望了其发展前景. 相似文献

一般认为,突触的结构在记忆的巩固过程中发生变化。β-连环蛋白(β-catenin)已被证实与神经元突触的调节和重塑有关。β-连环蛋白可与钙粘蛋白(cadherin)结合形成复合物参与突触发育及其连接性和活性的调节。此外,β-连环蛋白在Wnt信号传导通路中发挥着重要作用。这条信号通路在海马切片标本中被证实参与突触可塑性的调节。由此推测,β-连环蛋白可能是影响突触可塑性的核心蛋白,并参与调节学习和记忆等重要活动。但之前尚无实验证明它在动物学习和记忆中潜在的重要作用。 相似文献

表观调节机制在阿尔茨海默病的发生、发展过程中起着重要作用。乙酰化组蛋白和乙酰化非组蛋白在基因表达与信号转导过程中具有重要的调控作用。组蛋白去乙酰化酶抑制剂可以改善AD患者突触可塑性与学习记忆能力。HDAC2在控制神经元形成中起关键作用。HDAC2参与海马区域记忆形成相关蛋白表达,对学习和记忆的形成具有负调节作用,影响神经突触可塑性和数量。目前应用的HDAC抑制剂为广谱药物缺乏特异性,分析HDAC2作用机制有利于研究出针对疾病的靶点药物。 相似文献

围神经元网是中枢神经系统中一种包绕在特定类型神经元胞体和近端神经突周围的细胞外基质网络。在1883年,围神经元网最早被Camillo Golgi所描述,直到近几十年,研究人员才对其分子组成、发育成熟以及潜在的功能有密集的研究。研究表明,围神经元网主要由透明质酸、硫酸软骨素蛋白多糖、连接蛋白和肌腱蛋白-R组成。围神经元网在神经发育的晚期才渐次出现,它的发育成熟水平和神经可塑性水平的高低呈负相关。功能上,一方面,围神经网络被认为在稳定细胞外微环境、维持被包裹神经元的性能和保护被包裹的神经元免受有害物质的影响等方面起到了重要的作用,围神经元网的异常可以导致诸如癫痫、中风和阿尔茨海默病等中枢神经系统的机能障碍;另一方面,围神经元网作为包裹在细胞外的一道屏障限制了神经可塑性的发生和阻碍了神经损伤后的再生。在成年动物中,用软骨素酶法降解围神经元网可以促进脊髓损伤后的功能修复以及恢复活动依赖的中枢神经系统可塑性调节机制,表明围神经元网在调节神经可塑性方面起到了非常重要的作用。本文就早期发育中活动依赖的围神经网络的形成和围神经网络信号通路中的重要分子——硫酸软骨素蛋白多糖受体的研究进展进行综述,并就它们如何调节神经可塑性展开讨论。 相似文献

老化通常指生物体生长发育成熟以后,随年龄增加生理机能逐渐减退,内环境稳定性下降,组织器官逐渐发生退行性改变,最终走向衰老、死亡的过程。神经系统老化是神经元退行性病变形成的基础和条件。由于神经生长因子(nerve growth factor,NGF)与中枢神经系统胆碱能神经元的存活和可塑性调节密切相关,所以NGF在神经系统老化和神经退行性变疾病如老年性痴呆(Alzheimer’s disease,AD)的发生发展过程中发挥重要作用。本文综述了NGF在脑老化中的变化及其与AD发病机制的关系。 相似文献

Sonic hedgehog (SHH) is a secreted morphogen that regulates the patterning and growth of many tissues in the developing mouse embryo, including the central nervous system (CNS). We show that a member of the FK506-binding protein family, FKBP8, is an essential antagonist of SHH signaling in CNS development. Loss of FKBP8 causes ectopic and ligand-independent activation of the Shh pathway, leading to expansion of ventral cell fates in the posterior neural tube and suppression of eye development. Although it is expressed broadly, FKBP8 is required to antagonize SHH signaling primarily in neural tissues, suggesting that hedgehog signal transduction is subject to cell-type specific modulation during mammalian development. 相似文献

As one part of epigenetics, histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been demonstrated to get into the neural events, including neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and neurodegeneration through regulating acetylation status of target proteins to influence protein function and gene expression. However, the recent studies indicated that HDAC2, a member of HDACs family, played a role in insulin signaling pathway and synaptic plasticity. Here, we are concerned about whether HDAC2 was co-located with insulin signaling components in postsynaptic glutamatergic neurons (PSGNs) of the adult mouse hippocampus using double immunofluorescence staining. The results displayed that HDAC2 was present in PSGNs marked by N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subunit 2B, in which major components of insulin signaling pathway such as insulin receptor alpha and beta and insulin receptor substrate-1 were also involved. Accordingly, we speculate that the interaction of HDAC2 and insulin signaling system in PSGNs observed in the present study may serve as a potential mechanism in memory formation. We hope this could provide a valuable basis for understanding the roles of HDAC2 and insulin on cognitive impairment of diabetes mellitus, involved Alzheimer??s disease, which is also called type 3 diabetes recently. And this will also benefit to the treatment of insulin-related diseases in the central nervous system. 相似文献

Rapid induction of dendritic spine morphogenesis by trans-synaptic ephrinB-EphB receptor activation of the Rho-GEF kalirin 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
The morphogenesis of dendritic spines, the major sites of excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain, is important in synaptic development and plasticity. We have identified an ephrinB-EphB receptor trans-synaptic signaling pathway which regulates the morphogenesis and maturation of dendritic spines in hippocampal neurons. Activation of the EphB receptor induces translocation of the Rho-GEF kalirin to synapses and activation of Rac1 and its effector PAK. Overexpression of dominant-negative EphB receptor, catalytically inactive kalirin, or dominant-negative Rac1, or inhibition of PAK eliminates ephrin-induced spine development. This novel signal transduction pathway may be critical for the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton controlling spine morphogenesis during development and plasticity. 相似文献

Proper development of neuronal networks relies on the polarization of the neurons, thus the establishment of two compartments, axons and dendrites, whose formation depends on cytoskeletal rearrangements. Rnd proteins are regulators of actin organization and they are important players in several aspects of brain development as neurite formation, axon guidance and neuron migration. We have recently demonstrated that mice lacking RhoE/Rnd3 expression die shortly after birth and have neuromotor impairment and neuromuscular alterations, indicating an abnormal development of the nervous system. In this study, we have further investigated the specific role played by RhoE in several aspects of neuronal development by using hippocampal neuron cultures. Our findings show that neurons from a mice lacking RhoE expression exhibit a decrease in the number and the total length of the neurites. We also show that RhoE-deficient neurons display a reduction in axon outgrowth and a delay in the process of neuronal polarization. In addition, our results suggest an involvement of the RHOA/ROCK/LIMK/COFILIN signaling pathway in the neuronal alterations induced by the lack of RhoE. These findings support our previous report revealing the important role of RhoE in the normal development of the nervous system and may provide novel therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative disorders. 相似文献

MHC class I (MHC-I) molecules are important components of the immune system. Recently MHC-I have been reported to also play important roles in brain development and synaptic plasticity. In this study, we examine the molecular mechanism(s) underlying activity-dependent MHC-I expression using hippocampal neurons. Here we report that neuronal expression level of MHC-I is dynamically regulated during hippocampal development after birth in vivo. Kainic acid (KA) treatment significantly increases the expression of MHC-I in cultured hippocampal neurons in vitro, suggesting that MHC-I expression is regulated by neuronal activity. In addition, KA stimulation decreased the expression of pre- and post-synaptic proteins. This down-regulation is prevented by addition of an MHC-I antibody to KA treated neurons. Further studies demonstrate that calcium-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) is important in relaying KA simulation activation signals to up-regulated MHC-I expression. This signaling cascade relies on activation of the MAPK pathway, which leads to increased phosphorylation of CREB and NF-κB p65 while also enhancing the expression of IRF-1. Together, these results suggest that expression of MHC-I in hippocampal neurons is driven by Ca2+ regulated activation of the MAPK signaling transduction cascade. 相似文献

树突棘是神经元之间产生直接联系的部位,其形态可塑性是记忆的结构基础。谷氨酸信息传递是中枢神经信息传递的主要方式,能产生突触传递效率的可塑性,由此引起树突棘形态的可塑性变化。本文从谷氨酸受体途径的角度对树突棘形态可塑性的调控机制做一综述。谷氨酸受体主要通过其下游信号分子调节棘内肌动蛋白动力学蛋白,参与树突棘的形态发生和稳定。该作用在局部受到不同的蛋白、信号分子、激素、mi RNAs的调节,从而参与生理及病理过程。最后,提出展望,研究脑区特异的局部微环境变化对记忆相关疾病病因及治疗探讨有参考价值。 相似文献
