氯氨酮和L-NAME抑制模拟高原低氧大鼠下丘脑NOS和生长抑素mRNA的表达

用高原低氧模型及原位杂交、ＮＡＤＰＨ－ｄ组织化学法,探讨氯氨酮和Ｌ－ＮＡＭＥ对急性高原低氧大鼠下丘脑一氧化氮合酶（ＮＯＳ）和生长抑素ｍＲＮＡ（ＳＳ ｍＲＮＡ）表达的影响。结果表明,急性高原低氧引起下丘脑ＮＯＳ和ＳＳ ｍＲＮＡ过度表达,如先用ＮＭＤＡ受体拮抗剂氯氨酮和ＮＯＳ抑制剂Ｌ－ＮＡＭＥ预处理,ＮＯＳ和ＳＳ ｍＲＮＡ的表达均明显被抑制。结果提示,ＮＭＤＡ受体参与了急生高原低氧引起的下丘脑ＮＯＳ和

Ketamine and L-NAME inhibit NOS and somatostatin mRNA expression induced by altitude hypoxia in the rat hypothalamus

Using altitude hypoxia model, in situ hybridization and NADPH d histochemistry, we in~ves~ti~gated the effects of ketamine and L NAME (blocker of NOS) on NOS and somatostatin mRNA (SS mRNA) expression in the rat hypothalamus following acute altitude hypoxia. It was revealed that acute altitude hypoxia induced NOS and SS mRNA overexpression in the rat hypothalamus. When pretreated with NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine and L NAME, NOS and SS mRNA expression were inhibited significantly. These results suggest that NMDA receptor activation participates in the expression of NOS and SS mRNA in the rat hypothalamus subjected to acute altitude hypoxia. Meanwhile, hypothalamic endogenous NO may mediate expression of SS mRNA.
