摘要
为探讨即早反应基因(immediateearlygenes,IEGs)在神经损伤过程中的变化规律,用原位分子杂交和PAP免疫组织化学方法观察了大鼠脊髓内注射红藻氨酸(kainicacid,KA)后1h至14d的不同时间点,L1~3脊髓腹、背角神经元中c-fosmRNA和Fos免疫阳性信号的变化。结果表明,KA致脊髓损伤后2~8h脊髓腹角运动神经元中c-fosmRNA的表达和Fos免疫组织化学阳性反应明显增强,12h恢复至正常水平,伤后3d又明显增强;而脊髓背角神经元内仅在伤后2~6h明显增加。提示KA对脊髓神经元的选择性毒性作用;运动神经元c-fos表达的再次增强与KA所致神经元的不可逆变性有关,亦可看作是神经元损伤后死亡的先兆之一。
For studing the relationship between the immediate early genes( IEGs) and nerve injury, the expressions of c fos mRNA and Fos in rat spinal cord neurons was examined by in situ hybridization using photobiotin avidin gold silver stained c fos cDNA probe and PAP immunohistochemical method during 1h 14d after intraspinal cord injection of kainic acid (KA). Image analysis showed that the optical densities of these hybridization signals with c fos cDNA probe and Fos IR signals increased significantly in L 1~3 ventral motoneurons of KA treatrment rat, starting from 2 hour after KA injection, reaching to a maximum in 4 and 6 hours, and retured to control level 12 hours post injury. These were followed by a second inerease by 3rd days in ventral motoneurous. However, a dramatic inerease of expresions of c fos mRNA and Fos in dorsal horn neurons were observed during 2 to 6 hours after KA injection .The results indicated that KA is a selective neurotoxin for spinal cord neurons. For motoneurons, second increase of c fos expression was related with neurodegeneration by KA treatment,and was thought to be an early harbinger of neuronal death.
