摘要
目的:观察β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)对大鼠海马补体3(C3)表达的变化及雷公藤内酯醇对其的影响.方法:SD雄性大鼠随机等分成对照组、模型组、用药组.在大鼠双侧海马定向注射凝聚态Aβ1-40作为模型组,注射等量生理盐水设为对照组,大鼠在海马注射凝聚态Aβ1-40后腹腔注射雷公藤内酯醇则为用药组.应用免疫组织化学、RT-PCR方法检测各组大鼠海马C3的表达.结果:免疫组织化学显色显示,模型组C3阳性细胞数与对照组比较明显增多、模型组C3阳性细胞平均光密度与对照组比较明显增高.用药组C3阳性细胞平均光密度较模型组明显降低.RT-PCR结果显示,模型组C3 mRNA的表达水平比对照组明显增高;而用药组C3 mRNA的表达水平低于模型组.结论:雷公藤内酯醇对Aβ所致的大鼠海马C3的活化有抑制作用.
Objective: To explore the effects of triptolide (TP) and β-amyloid protein (AI3) on complement 3 (123) expression of hippoeampus in model rats with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods: Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into three equal groups: a control group, AD model group and TP-treated group. The AD model group was prepared with bilateral microinjection of aggregated Aβ1-40 into rat hippocampus while the control group was only bilaterally microinjected with normal saline. The TP-treated group was first bilaterally mieroinjeeted with aggregated Aβ1-40 into the hippocampus and then administered intraperitoneally with TP. The variations of C3 expression of hippocampus in these groups were observed by immuno-histoehemical staining and RT-PCR. Results: The cell number of the C3 positive staining in the AD model group (95.42±23. 45) was considerably higher than that in the control group (30. 09±6. 52) and the average optical density of the C3 positive staining in the AD model group (0. 335 1±0. 038 8) was greatly higher than that in the control group (0. 166 4±0. 016 1). It was also found that the average optical density of the C3 positive staining in the TP-treated group (0. 272 1±0. 032 7) was significantly lower than that in the AD model group (0. 335 1±0. 038 8). The RT-PCR gave comparable results that the expression level of C3 mRNA in the AD model group (0. 858±0. 023) was significantly higher than that in the control group (0. 671±0. 034) while the expression level of C3 mRNA in the TP-treated group (0. 772±0. 029) was noticeably lower than that in the model group (0. 858±0. 023). Conclusion: TP can inhibit the activation of hippocampal C3 in the AD model rats.
