We investigated the effects of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) on cell death, cell proliferation, neuroblast differentiation, and the GABAergic system in the mouse dentate gyrus. We administered
pyridoxine (350 mg/kg intraperitoneally) to 8 week old mice twice a day for 14 days and sacrificed them at 10 weeks of age.
Pyridoxine treatment did not induce neuronal death or activate microglia in the dentate gyrus, while glial fibrillary acidic
protein (GFAP)-positive cells were significantly increased in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus. The increase in GFAP-positive
cells was confirmed to be due to proliferating cells based on double immunofluorescence staining. GFAP-positive cells, which
were also labeled with Ki67, a marker for cell proliferation, and doublecortin, a marker for neuroblast differentiation, were
significantly increased in the pyridoxine-treated group compared to those in the vehicle-treated group. Pyridoxine treatment
also increased the protein levels of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 67, an enzyme for GABA synthesis, and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate
(PNP) oxidase, an enzyme for pyridoxal phosphate synthesis, in the dentate gyrus. These results suggest that pyridoxine treatment
distinctly increases cell proliferation, neuroblast differentiation, and upregulated the GABAergic system, as revealed by
the increases of GAD67 and PNP oxidase in the mouse dentate gyrus. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is one of the most important factors in reducing adult hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult brain. In this study, we observed the effects of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) on lipid peroxidation, cell proliferation, and neuroblast differentiation in the mouse dentate gyrus using malondialdehyde (MDA), Ki67, and doublecortin (DCX), respectively. We constructed an expression vector, PEP-1, fused PEP-1 with SOD1, and generated PEP-1-SOD1 fusion protein. We administered PEP-1 and 100 or 500 μg PEP-1-SOD1 intraperitoneally once a day for 3 weeks and sacrificed at 30 min after the last administrations. PEP-1 administration did not change the MDA levels compared to those in the vehicle-treated group, while PEP-1-SOD1 treatment significantly reduced MDA levels compared to the vehicle-treated group. In the PEP-1-treated group, the number of Ki67-positive nuclei was similar to that in the vehicle-treated group. In the 100 μg PEP-1-SOD1-treated group, the number of Ki67-positive nuclei was slightly decreased; however, in the 500 μg PEP-1-SOD1-treated group, Ki67-positive nuclei were decreased to 78.5% of the vehicle-treated group. The number of DCX-positive neuroblasts in the PEP-1-treated group was similar to that in the vehicle-treated group. However, the arborization of DCX-positive neuroblasts was significantly decreased in both the 100 and 500 μg PEP-1-SOD1-treated groups compared to that in the vehicle-treated group. The number of DCX-positive neuroblasts with tertiary dendrites was markedly decreased in the 500 μg PEP-1-SOD1-treated group. These results suggest that a SOD1 supplement to healthy mice may not be necessary to modulate cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus. 相似文献

A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor is the most commonly prescribed antidepressant for the treatment of major depression. However, the mechanisms underlying the actions of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are not fully understood. In the dentate gyrus, chronic fluoxetine treatment induces increased excitability of mature granule cells (GCs) as well as neurogenesis. The major input to the dentate gyrus is the perforant path axons (boutons) from the entorhinal cortex (layer II). Through voltage-sensitive dye imaging, we found that the excitatory neurotransmission of the perforant path synapse onto the GCs in the middle molecular layer of the mouse dentate gyrus (perforant path-GC synapse) is enhanced after chronic fluoxetine treatment (15 mg/kg/day, 14 days). Therefore, we further examined whether chronic fluoxetine treatment affects the morphology of the perforant path-GC synapse, using FIB/SEM (focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy). A three-dimensional reconstruction of dendritic spines revealed the appearance of extremely large-sized spines after chronic fluoxetine treatment. The large-sized spines had a postsynaptic density with a large volume. However, chronic fluoxetine treatment did not affect spine density. The presynaptic boutons that were in contact with the large-sized spines were large in volume, and the volumes of the mitochondria and synaptic vesicles inside the boutons were correlated with the size of the boutons. Thus, the large-sized perforant path-GC synapse induced by chronic fluoxetine treatment contains synaptic components that correlate with the synapse size and that may be involved in enhanced glutamatergic neurotransmission. 相似文献

Sensitive to apoptosis gene (SAG) protein is a redox-inducible protein that protects cells against apoptosis induced by redox agents. In this study, we observed effects of SAG on cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the mouse hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) using Ki67 and doublecortin (DCX), respectively. For easy penetration into neurons, Tat-SAG expression vector was constructed by ligation with SAG and expression vector, Tat, in-frame with six histidine open-reading frames to generate the expression vector, and cloned into E. coli DH5α cells. One or 5?mg/kg Tat-SAG fusion protein (Tat-SAG) was intraperitoneally administered to mice once a day for 3?weeks. The administration of Tat-SAG significantly increased the number of 5-bromodeoxyuridine positive cells, Ki67 positive cells and DCX immunoreactive neuroblast in the mouse DG: Especially, in the 5?mg/kg Tat-SAG-treated mice, DCX positive neuroblasts showed a well-developed arborization of tertiary dendrites in the DG. On the other hand, we examined that the administration of Tat-SAG significantly reduced the DNA damage and lipid peroxidation judging from 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and 4-hydroxynonenal immunohistochemistry: The decrease was much more distinct in the 5?mg/kg Tat-SAG-treated mice than 1?mg/kg Tat-SAG-treated mice. This result suggests that SAG significantly increases cell proliferation, neuroblast differentiation and oxidative stress in normal states. 相似文献

In this study, we observed the effects of metformin, one of the most widely prescribed drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes,
on cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (SZDG) in Zucker
diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, which are a model for type 2 diabetes. For this, metformin was administered orally once a day to
14-week-old ZDF rats for 2 weeks and the animals were sacrificed at 16 weeks of age. During this period, blood glucose levels
were higher in the vehicle-treated ZDF rats than in the Zucker lean control (ZLC) rats. Metformin treatment significantly
decreased the blood glucose levels from 15.5 weeks of age. In the SZDG, Ki67 (a marker for cell proliferation)- and doublecortin
(DCX, a marker for differentiated neuroblasts)-immunoreactive cells were much lower in the vehicle-treated ZDF rats than in
the ZLC rats. In the metformin-treated ZDF group, Ki67- and DCX-immunoreactive cells were significantly increased in the SZDG
compared to those in the vehicle-treated ZDF group. These results suggest that diabetes significantly reduces cell proliferation
and neuroblast differentiation in the SZDG and that metformin treatment normalizes the reduction of cell proliferation and
neuroblast differentiation in the SZDG in diabetic rats. 相似文献

In early cortical development, neural progenitor cells (NPCs) expand their population in the ventricular zone (VZ), and produce neurons. Although a series of studies have revealed the process of neurogenesis, the molecular mechanisms regulating NPC proliferation are still largely unknown. Here we found that RhoG, a member of Rho family GTPases, was expressed in the VZ at early stages of cortical development. Expression of constitutively active RhoG promoted NPC proliferation and incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in vitro, and the proportion of Ki67-positive cells in vivo. In contrast, knockdown of RhoG by RNA interference suppressed the proliferation, BrdU incorporation, and the proportion of Ki67-positive cells in NPCs. However, knockdown of RhoG did not affect differentiation and survival of NPC. The RhoG-induced promotion of BrdU incorporation required phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity but not the interaction with ELMO. Taken together, these results indicate that RhoG promotes NPC proliferation through PI3K in cortical development. 相似文献

Newly generated neurons in the dentate gyrus differentiate into mature granule cells. In the present study, we observed the effects of adrenalectomy (ADX) and corticosterone replacement therapy (CRT) on cell death, cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (SZDG). For this, the animals received vehicle or CRT after ADX, and were sacrificed 5 or 42 days later. Plasma corticosterone levels were very low in the adrenalectomized groups, whereas CRT after ADX significant increased serum corticosterone levels at 42 days, not 5 days, after ADX. ADX induced some neuronal damage in the dentate gyrus at 5 days post-ADX. CRT did not significantly reduce the neuronal damage at 5 days post-ADX; however, neuronal damage was not shown at 42 post-ADX with CRT. Ki67 (a marker for cell proliferation) and doublecortin (DCX, a marker for neuronal differentiation) immunoreaction was detected in the SZDG. ADX transiently increased cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation 5 days after ADX, not 42 days, after ADX, and the CRT 42 days after ADX prominently decreased cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus. These results suggest that adrenal corticosteroid hormone is not essential for cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in long-term period after ADX. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have emerged as a new therapeutic tool for a number of clinical applications, because they have
multipotency and paracrine effects via various factors. In the present study, we investigated the effects of adipose-derived
MSC (Ad-MSC) transplantation via intrathecal injection through the cisterna magna on cell proliferation and differentiation
of endogenous stem cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) using Ki-67 (a marker for proliferating cells), and doublecortin
(DCX, a marker for neuroblasts). The transplanted Ad-MSC were detected in the meninges, not in the hippocampal parenchyma.
However, the number of Ki-67-immunoreactive cells was significantly increased by 83% in the DG 2 days after single Ad-MSC
injection, and by 67% at 23 days after repeated Ad-MSC treatment compared with that in the vehicle-treated group after Ad-MSC
transplantation. On the other hand, the number of DCX-immunoreactive cells in the DG was not changed at 2 days after single
Ad-MSC injection; however, it was significantly increased by 62% 9 days after single Ad-MSC injection. At 23 days after repeated
Ad-MSC application, the number of DCX-immunoreactive cells was much more increased (223% of the vehicle-treated group). At
this time point, DCX protein levels were also significantly increased compared with those in the vehicle-treated group. These
results suggest that the intrathecal injection of Ad-MSC could enhance endogenous cell proliferation, and the repeated Ad-MSC
injection could be more efficient for an enhancement of endogenous cell proliferation and differentiation in the brain. 相似文献

Recent studies have shown that the precursor of nerve growth factor (proNGF) is highly elevated in aging brains and in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s Disease. proNGF accumulates in hippocampus which is an important neurogenic region related to learning and memory. However, it remains unclear whether proNGF has an influence on hippocampal neurogenesis. In this study, we demonstrated that the high-affinity receptor of proNGF, p75 neurotrophic factor (p75NTR), was expressed both on cells undergoing mitosis and postmitotic mature cells in mouse hippocampus. proNGF infusion into adult mouse hippocampus significantly reduced the density of BrdU-incorporating cells and the density of BrdU/Doublecortin double positive cells in the subgranular zone of hippocampus, indicating an inhibitory effect of proNGF on hippocampal neurogenesis. proNGF infusion also induced prominent cell apoptosis and activated residential astrocyte and microglia, which might further impair the hippocampal neurogenesis. These results implied that proNGF played a pivotal role in regulating the hippocampal neurogenesis and might account for the memory deficit and cognitive impairment. 相似文献

We previously reported that sodium butyrate (SB), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, robustly increased pyridoxine-induced cell
proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus of the adult mouse. In this study, we investigated the effects
of treatment with SB combined with pyridoxine on cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus of
a mouse model of aging induced by d-galactose (d-gal). d-gal was administered to 20-week-old male mice (d-gal mice) for 10 weeks to induce changes that resemble natural aging in animals. Seven weeks after d-gal (100 mg/kg) treatment, vehicle (physiological saline; d-gal-vehicle mice) and SB (300 mg/kg) combined with pyridoxine (Pyr; 350 mg/kg) were administered to the mice (d-gal-Pyr-SB mice) for 3 weeks. Escape latency under water maze in the d-gal mice was longer than that in the control mice. In the d-gal-Pyr-SB mice, escape latency was similar to that in the control mice. In the d-gal mice, many cells in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus showed pyknosis and condensation of the cytoplasm. However,
in the d-gal-Pyr-SB mice, such cellular changes were rarely found. Furthermore, the d-gal mice showed a great reduction in cell proliferation (Ki67-positive cells) and neuroblast differentiation (doublecortin-positive
neuroblasts) in the dentate gyrus compared to control mice. However, in the d-gal-Pyr-SB mice, cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation were markedly increased in the dentate gyrus. Furthermore,
the administration of pyridoxine with sodium butyrate significantly increased Ser133-phosphorylated cyclic AMP response element
binding protein in the dentate gyrus. These results indicate that the combination treatment of Pyr with SB in d-gal mice ameliorated the d-gal-induced reduction in cell proliferation, neuroblast differentiation, and memory deficits. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the effects of a treadmill exercise on serum glucose levels and Ki67 and doublecortin
(DCX) immunoreactivity, which is a marker of cell proliferation expressed during cell cycles except G0 and early G1 and a
marker of progenitors differentiating into neurons, respectively, in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus (SZDG) using
a type II diabetic model. At 6 weeks of age, Zucker lean control (ZLC) and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were put on a
treadmill with or without running for 1 h/day/5 consecutive days at 22 m/min for 5 weeks. Body weight was significantly increased
in the control (without running)-ZDF rats compared to that in the other groups. In the control groups blood glucose levels
were increased by 392.7 mg/dl in the control-ZDF rats and by 143.3 mg/dl in the control-ZLC rats. However, in the exercise
groups, blood glucose levels were similar between the exercise-ZLC and ZDF rats: The blood glucose levels were 110.0 and 118.2 mg/dl,
respectively. Ki67 positive nuclei were detected in the SZDG in control and exercise groups. The number of Ki67 positive nuclei
was significantly high in exercise groups compared to that in the control groups. In addition, Ki67 positive cells were abundant
in ZLC groups compared to those in ZDF groups. DCX-immunoreactive structures in the control-ZDF rats were lower than that
in the control-ZLC rats. In the exercise groups, DCX-immunoreactive structures (somata and processes with tertiary dendrites)
and DCX protein levels were markedly increased in both the exercise-ZLC and ZDF rats compared to that in the control groups.
These results suggest that a treadmill exercise reduces blood glucose levels in ZDF rats and increases cell proliferation
and differentiation in the SZDG in ZLC and ZDF rats compared to those in control groups. 相似文献

Galactosyltransferase Defects in Reeler Mouse Brains 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Barry D. Shur 《Journal of neurochemistry》1982,39(1):201-209
Galactosyltransferase activities were examined in the cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and brain stem of reeler and wild-type mice. Galactosyltransferase assays were optimal for all required substrates, linear with incubation time, and proportional to protein concentration. In brain areas affected by the reeler mutation (i.e., cerebral cortex and cerebellum), galactosylation of both endogenous and exogenous glycoprotein acceptors was greatly reduced in reeler relative to controls. On the other hand, glycosylation of endogenous glycolipids was low, and equal between reeler and wild-type. Galactosyltransferase activities were similar, though not identical, in reeler and wild-type brain stems, which are phenotypically normal in reeler mice. Glucosyltransferase, beta-galactosidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, acid phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase specific activities were all unaffected in reeler cerebella, while galactosyltransferase activity was 52% of control. Inhibition of either UDPgalactose hydrolysis or beta-galactosidase had no effect on galactosyltransferase activity. The spectrum or galactosyltransferase deficiencies in reeler suggests that this enzyme is associated with the development of young granule cells. 相似文献

Glial Cell Markers in the Reeler Mutant Mouse: A Biochemical and Immunohistological Study 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The glial cell contents of S100 protein, 2',3'-cyclic AMP, 3'-phosphohydrolase (CNP), isoenzyme II of carbonic anhydrase (CAII) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) were biochemically determined in the cerebellum and cerebrum of the reeler mutant mouse. Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, shown by this study, contain abnormal amounts of these components. The CAII concentration was significantly increased in the particulate fraction of the reeler cerebellum and cerebrum (by 50% and 89%, respectively). The BuChE specific activity was greatly increased in the reeler, by 120% for cerebellum and by 40% in cerebrum. In contrast, the S100 protein concentration was reduced in the reeler cerebellum by 40% and by 25% in cerebrum, while the CNP specific activity increased by 30% in the reeler cerebellum. In addition, the glial cell distribution was studied by immunohistological techniques with antibodies directed against S100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) and CAII. Apparently the density of glial cells is not significantly affected. However, the Golgi epithelial cells were usually abnormally placed and their Bergmann fibres were less well developed. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) response element-binding protein (CREB) is involved in memory, learning, and synaptic transmission. In this
study, we observed changes of phosphorylated CREB (pCREB) immunoreactivity and its protein levels as well as brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in the hippocampal dentate gyrus at postnatal (P) 1, 7, 14, and 21 in mice. In addition,
we also investigated pCREB expression in doublecortin (DCX, a marker for neuronal progenitors) immunoreactive neuroblasts
at P21. pCREB immunoreaction at P1 was detected in most of cells in the dentate gyrus, thereafter pCREB immunoreactivity was
decreased in all the layers of the dentate gyrus with time, however, strong pCREB immunoreactivity was shown in cells confined
to the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus at P21. In this group, many pCREB immunoreactive cells were co-localized with
DCX immunoreactive neuroblasts. In addition, pCREB protein levels were decreased with age, showing that their levels were
very low at P21, while BDNF protein levels were increased with age. These results suggest that pCREB may play important roles
in functional maturity of granule cells in mice. 相似文献

Voluntary running is a robust inducer of adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Given that fatty acid synthase (FASN), the key enzyme for de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, is critically involved in proliferation of embryonic and adult neural stem cells, we hypothesized that FASN could mediate both exercise-induced cell proliferation in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus (DG) and enhancement of spatial learning and memory. In 20 week-old male mice, voluntary running-induced hippocampal-specific upregulation of FASN was accompanied also by hippocampal-specific accumulation of palmitate and stearate saturated fatty acids. In experiments addressing the functional role of FASN in our experimental model, chronic intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) microinfusions of C75, an irreversible FASN inhibitor, and significantly impaired exercise-mediated improvements in spatial learning and memory in the Barnes maze. Unlike the vehicle-injected mice, the C75 group adopted a non-spatial serial escape strategy and displayed delayed escape latencies during acquisition and memory tests. Furthermore, pharmacologic blockade of FASN function with C75 resulted in a significant reduction, compared to vehicle treated controls, of the number of proliferative cells in the DG of running mice as measured by immunoreactive to Ki-67 in the SGZ. Taken together, our data suggest that FASN plays an important role in exercise-mediated cognitive enhancement, which might be associated to its role in modulating exercise-induced stimulation of neurogenesis. 相似文献
