摘要
目的观察老年人脑内多巴胺转运体的表达。方法以免疫放射自显影技术显示人脑标本神经核团多巴胺转运体免疫反应强度的变化。结果老年组多巴胺转运体免疫反应强度较青年组明显降低;壳、尾状核、中脑黑质腹侧区和背侧区多巴胺转运体免疫反应强度较青年组分别降低了28.22%(P<0.01)、35.55%(P<0.01)、19.25%(P<0.05)和15.41%(P<0.05)。结论老年人黑质纹状体多巴胺转运体的低表达暗示其脑内多巴胺能神经体系的功能减退。
Objective To study the altered dopamine transporters (DAT) in postmortem aged human brains. Methods Immunoautoradiography was used to reveal DAT immunoreactive intensity in postmortem human brains. Results DAT immunoreactive intensity in aged human brains was lower than that of young group. 28. 22%, 35.55% , 19. 25% and 15.41% of DAT immunoreactive intensity significantly decreased DAT immunoreactive intensity in putamen, caudate nucleus, ventral and dorsal substantia nigra in aged group respectively decreased 28.22% ( P 〈 0. 01 ), 35.55% ( P 〈 0. 01 ), 19.25% ( P 〈 0. 05) and 15. 41% ( P 〈 0. 05 ) than those of corresponding sites in young group. Conclusions Decreased DAT expressions of nigrostriatal system in the aged human brains suggest the function decline of their cerebral dopamine neural system.
