摘要
目的:探讨正常大鼠与甲状腺功能亢进(甲亢)大鼠脑甲状腺激素受体(TR)mRNA表达差异。方法:将10只实验大鼠随机分2组,每组5只,荧光定量PCR(FQ-PCR)方法检测甲亢大鼠各脑区甲状腺激素受体mRNA表达变化。结果:与正常大鼠相比,甲亢大鼠大脑、小脑、海马、脑干中TRα1mRNA分别下调43%、35%、52%、49%(P<0.01)。小脑中TRα2mRNA无显著性变化(P>0.05),大脑TRα2mRNA下调34%(P<0.05),海马、脑干中TRα2mRNA分别上调67%(P<0.01)、56%(P<0.05)。小脑中TRβ1mRNA无显著性变化(P>0.05),大脑、海马、脑干中TRβ1mRNA分别下调41%(P<0.01)、50%(P<0.05)、46%(P<0.05)。各脑区TRα1与TRα2mRNA比值均下降(P<0.05)。结论:甲亢时各脑区对高甲状腺激素水平敏感性不一致,甲状腺激素受体mRNA异常表达变化可能参与了甲亢时脑功能障碍的发病机制。
Objective: To study the difference of thyroid hormone receptor mRNA expression in normal and hyperthyroid rat brain. Methods: Ten rats were randomly divided into two groups (n=5) including normal control group and hyperthyroid group administrated with thyroid tablets. Thyroid hormone receptor mRNA expressions in various areas of hyperthyroid rat brain were detected by fluorescence quantitation PCR (FQ-PCR). Results: TRα1 mRNA in hyperthyroid rat decreased 43%, 35%, 52% and 49% in cerebrum, cerebellum, Hippocampus and brain stem respectively compared with control group (P〈 0.01). TRα2 mRNA remained constant in cerebellum (P 〉 0.05), decreased 34% in cerebrum (P 〈 0.05) and increased 67% and 56% in hippocampus and brain stem respectively (P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.05). TRβ1 mRNA remained constant in cerebellum (P 〉0.05) and decreased 41%, 50% and 46% in cerebrum, hippocampus and brain stem respectively (P 〈 0.01, P 〈 0.05, P 〈 0.05). TRα1 : TRα2 ratio decreased in each brain area (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion: Different brain area has different response to high thyroid hormone level. The abnormal of TR mRNA expression may participate in the pathogenesis of hyperthyroid mental disorder.
