摘要
【目的】Homer 1aRNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)后的Sprague Dawley(SD)大鼠在Morris水迷宫中表现学习记忆能力障碍,本研究旨在通过检测Homer 1aRNAi后大鼠不同脑区亲代谢型谷氨酸受体5(metabotropicglutamate receptor 5,mGluR 5)的表达情况,来初步探讨Homer 1aRNAi致大鼠学习记忆障碍的分子机制。【方法】将24只SD大鼠随机分为两组:Homer 1aRNAi组(RNAi组,n=12)和对照组(Nc组,n=12),运用侧脑室注射技术,分别向两组大鼠的侧脑室注射针对Homer 1a的RNAi慢病毒和无义病毒,等待病毒起效时间7d,完成相应的行为学检测(Morris水迷宫)后,利用荧光定量PCR和Western blot技术检测不同脑组织(前额叶、纹状体、海马)mGluR5mRNA和蛋白表达情况。【结果】RNAi组大鼠纹状体和海马mGluR5mRNA和蛋白表达均较对照组显著降低(纹状体:mRNAt=6.67,蛋白t=3.10;海马:mRNAt=3.08;蛋白t=2.89,P值均<0.05或<0.01),前额叶mGluR5mRNA和蛋白表达较对照组差异无统计学意义(mRNAt=1.58,蛋白t=1.66,P值均>0.05)。【结论】Homer 1aRNAi后大鼠脑组织Homer 1a相关基因mGluR5表达下调,提示mGluR5可能作为Homer 1a的下游基因,参与Homer 1aRNAi后大鼠学习记忆的损伤过程。
【Objective】 Learning and memory abilities of rats were observed damaged in the Morris water maze,after expressions of Homer 1a in their brain interfered by RNA interference（RNA interference,RNAi）.Expressions of mGluR 5 in their brain were detected to explore the molecular mechanism of learning and memory impairment after expressions of Homer 1a in their brain interfered by RNAi. 【Methods】 24 Sprague Dawley（SD） rats were randomly divided into two groups：Homer 1a RNAi group（RNAi group,n=12） and control group（Nc group,n=12）,and injected into the intracerebroventricular of the rats with Homer 1a RNAi lentivirus or nonsense lentivirus,respectively.Seven days later,completed the behavior tests（Morris Water Maze）,mRNA and protein expressions of mGluR5 in some regions（prefrontal cortex,striatum,hippocampus） were analyzed using Quantitative PCR and Western blot. 【Result】 mGluR5 mRNA and protein expression in the striatum and hippocampus of RNAi group compared with the control group were significantly lower（striatum：mRNA t=6.67,protein t=3.10;hippocampus：mRNA t=3.08;protein t=2.89,all P0.05 or 0.01）,while there were no significant differences in the prefrontal（mRNA t=1.58,protein t=1.66,all P0.05）. 【Conclusion】 Homer 1a RNAi rats exhibit learning and memory impairment,and the expressions of Homer 1a and its related gene mGluR5 are changed,suggesting that mGluR5,as Homer 1a downstream gene,is involved in the mechanisms of learning and memory impairment after expressions of Homer 1a in their brain interfered by RNAi.
