Infection and control groups were established, each containing 20 pregnant Wistar rats. Rats in the infection group were inoculated with RCMV by intraperitoneal injection on the first day of pregnancy. Rat E20 embryos were taken to evaluate the teratogenic rate. NSCs were isolated from El3 embryos, and maintained in vitro. We found： 1） Poor fetal development was found in the infection group with low survival and high malformation rates. 2） The proliferation and differentiation of NSCs were affected. In the infection group, NSCs proliferated more slowly and had a lower neurosphere formation rate than the control. The differentiation ratio from NSCs to neurons and glial cells was significantly different from that of the control, showed by immunofluorescenee staining. 3） Ngnl mRNA expression and the nuclear p-catenin protein level were significantly lower than the control on day 2 when NSCs differentiated. 4） The Morris water maze test was performed on 4-week pups, and the infected rats were found worse in learning and memory ability. In a summary, RCMV infection caused abnormalities in the rat embryonic nervous system, significantly inhibited NSC proliferation and differentiation, and inhibited the expression of key molecules in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway so as to affect NSCs differentiation. This may be an important mechanism by which RCMV causes embryonic nervous system abnormalities.展开更多

Methods Male 8-week-old apoE^-/- mice fed a diet containing 1.25% cholesterol （wt/wt） were divided into pravastatin group administered with pravastatin （80 mg. kg ^-1· d^-1 ） and atherosclerosis group administered with PBS; and male 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice fed a normal diet were as control group （ n = 12 ）. In thoracoabdominal aortas of mice, levels of Malondialdehyde （ MDA ） and activities of superoxide dismutase （ SOD ） were measured and expression of phosphorylated p38 MAPK （ p-p38 MAPK） and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcr（ption 1 （pSTAT1） were examined by Western blotting. Results After eight weeks, atherosclerosis in aortic root was significantly prevented by pravastatin. In aortic atherosclerosis lesion, the level of MDA was significantly reduced; adversely the activity, of SOD was increased. Expressions of p-p38 MAPK and pSTAT1 were significantly decreased in aortic atherosclerosis lesion. Conclusion Our results suggests that anti-oxidative mechanisms of pravastatin preventing aortic atherosclerosis may partially depend on modulating p38 MAPK signal pathway.展开更多
