RESUMO

Objectives To investigate the effects of ethanol on neural development and kainate receptor expression in young mice. Methods Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder model was established by administration of 20% ethanol solu?tion to 7-day-old Kunming mice and control animals received physiological saline (The number of treatment and control were 80 and 40, respectively ). Body weight and general biological features were observed every day. Morris water maze was used to test learning and memory ability. Fluoro-Jade B was used to examine neural cells 24 hours after treatment in additional thirty 7-day-old Kunming mice which were further divided into two groups:a treatment group receiving 20%ethanol solution (n=15) and a control group receiving physiological saline (n=15). The development of neural cells and expression levels of kainite receptors were examined by using immunofluorescence staining. Results The body weight was significantly lighter in treatment group than in control group(control:21.13 ± 1.72g,treatment:13.96 ± 2.98g,P<0.05). Morris test showed that model group had longer latency than control group to find hidden platform(control:21.05± 5.31s,treatment:34.15±3.26s,P<0.05). Spatial probe test revealed that the number of passing through the platform were significantly smaller in model group than in control group(control:2.70 ± 1.25 times,treatment:0.93 ± 0.80 times,P<0.05). Astrocyte development anomaly was evident after ethanol treatment for 7 days. The expression levels of kainite re?ceptor GluR-6 and KA2 were up-regulated in the CA region of the hippocampus after ethanol treatment for 7 days. Con?clusion Kainite receptor GluR-6 and KA2 in CA region of the hippocampus may contribute to ethanol-induced hippo?campal neural development anomaly.

RESUMO

Introducción: el accidente cerebrovascular es la primera causa de discapacidad y la tercera de muerte en Colombia y en el resto del mundo y está asociado a enfermedades mentales y neurodegenerativas. Objetivo: determinar los efectos de la asociación atorvastatina-meloxicam sobre la gliosis reactiva en un modelo de isquemia cerebral por embolización arterial. Materiales y métodos: se utilizaron 56 ratas Wistar macho adultas, distribuidas en cuatro grupos isquémicos y cuatro controles, además de otras 10 para determinar la distribución y extensión del infarto, induciendo lesión en seis de ellas y simulación (sham) en las cuatro restantes. Los tratamientos fueron: placebo, atorvastatina (ATV), meloxicam (MELOX) y ATV + MELOX en isquémicos y simulados. Veinticuatro horas después de la isquemia se evaluó la actividad enzimática mitocondrial con trifeniltetrazolio (TTC) y a las 120 horas, la reactividad astrocitaria (anti-GFAP), mediante inmunohistoquímica convencional. Resultados: la asociación ATV+MELOX favoreció la modulación en la respuesta de los astrocitos protoplasmáticos y fibrosos del hipocampo y de la zona paraventricular, reduciendo su hiperreactividad. Conclusión: ATV y MELOX, aisladamente o asociados, reducen el daño cerebral atenuando la gliosis reactiva consecuente a la embolización arterial, lo que sugiere nuevos mecanismos de neuroprotección frente a la isquemia cerebral tromboembólica y abre nuevas perspectivas para su tratamiento temprano.


Introduction: Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the third of death in Colombia and in the world and it is associated with neurodegenerative and mental diseases. Objective: To determine the effects of the atorvastatin- meloxicam association on reactive gliosis in a model of cerebral ischemia produced by arterial embolization. Materials and methods: 56 adult male Wistar rats were used, divided into four ischemic and four control groups, plus 10 additional animals to determine the distribution and extent of infarction by injury in six of them and simulation (sham) in the remaining four. The treatments were: placebo, atorvastatin (ATV), meloxicam (MELOX) and ATV + MELOX in ischemic and simulated animals. 24 hours post-ischemia mitochondrial enzymatic activity was evaluated with triphenyl- tetrazolium (TTC), and at 120 hours astrocytic reactivity (anti-GFAP) was analyzed by conventional immunohistochemistry. Results: The association ATV + MELOX favored the modulation of the response of protoplasmatic and fibrous astrocytes in both the hippocampus and the paraventricular zone by reducing their hypereactivity. Conclusion: Atorvastatin and meloxicam, either individually or associated, reduce cerebral damage by lessening the reactive gliosis produced by arterial embolization; this suggests new mechanisms of neuroprotection against thromboembolic cerebral ischemia, and opens new perspectives in its early treatment.

RESUMO

Cultured cortical primary astroglia treated with zinc died while rapidly detached from culture plates, a distinct part of zinc-treated astroglia. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism underlying the rapid change in the morphologic integrity of zinc-treated astroglia. Among the early cellular events occurring in zinc-treated astroglia, strong activation of p38 MAPK and JNK was evident. Although inhibitors of p38 (SB203580 and SB202190) or JNK (SP600125) did not protect zinc-insulted astroglia from cell death, the p38 inhibitors, but not the JNK inhibitor, suppressed actin filament and cell morphology disruption. The Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, also suppressed actin filament and cell morphology disruption, but not cell death, of zinc-insulted astroglia. However, A23187 did not inhibit p38 MAPK activation in zinc-treated astroglia. Together these results suggest that zinc influx in astroglia results in rapid loss of the morphologic integrity via mechanisms regulated by p38 kinase and/or Ca2+ signaling.

RESUMO

@#Astroglia is the first cell type in the central nervous system to encounter insult after brain ischemia. Then ischemia stimulates hypertrophic and proliferative changes in astroglia and induces it produce inflammatory factors involved in the initiation of immunologic cascade. The expression of these cytokines which interact in the central nervous system can both damage and protect the brain tissue. Therefore, it is important to study astroglia and cytokines in order to find a new way to reduce inflammation insults after brain ischemia.

RESUMO

The regulation of astroglia on synaptic plasticity in the CA1 region of rat hippocampus was examined. Rats were divided into three groups: the newly born (<24 h), the juvenile (28-30days) and the adult groups (90-100 days), with each group having 20 animals. The CA1 region of rat hippocampus was immunohistochemically and electron-microscopically examined, respectively,for the growth of astroglia and the ultrastructure of synapses. The high performance liquid chromatography was employed to determine the cholesterol content of rat hippocampus. In the newly-born rats, a large number of neurons were noted in the hippocampal CA1 region of the newly-born rats,and few astroglia and no synaptic structure were observed. In the juvenile group, a few astroglias and some immature synapses were found, which were less than those in adult rats (P<0.01). The cholesterol content was 2.92±0.03 mg/g, 11.20± 3.41 mg/g and 12.91 ± 1.25 mg/g for newly born, the juvenile and the adult groups, respectively, with the differences among them being statistically significant (P<0.01). Our study suggests that the astrocytes may play an important role in the synaptic formation and functional maturity of hippocampal neurons, which may be related to the secretion of cholesterol from astrocytes.

RESUMO

Neuroglial cells are actively participate in the pathogenesis or in the recovery procedures following brain lesions. The study was performed to evaluate the plasticity of glial cells following different degree of brain lesions. Neurosurgical operations were made on the rats fixed on the stereotaxic apparatus. Tissue column of 3 mm-diameter was isolated in the caudatoputamen with concomitant severe bleeding in the first group. In the second group, the sensorimotor cortex was suctioned out with moderate bleeding. In the third group, the mammillary body was electrically coagulated with minimal bleeding. Caudatoputamens, as a lesioned tissue or as a target tissue of lesioned area, were studied light and electron microscopically. Observations on reactivities and plasticities of neuroglial cells on the different situations, the following results were obtained : 1. Astrocytes were swollen within an hour following brain lesions. 2. In case of smaller lesion, astroglia alone remove altered structures. 3. Microglia are increased in number, if the lesion is large with severe bleeding. The microglia might come from blood monocyte via transformation to pericyte. 4. In large lesion, astroglia were greatly hypertropied, and microglia might be moving and functioning effeciently within the hypertropied cytoplasm of astroglia. 5. In the stabilizing stage, astroglia produce glial fibers and fix the exhausted microglia. Fixed microglia are proceed into apoptotic process in the cytoplasm of astroglia and removed by them. All these procedures might be controlled by various receptors and secretions of astroglia. It means that astroglia is not only the basic supporting element of nervous tissue, but also an actively functioning element for the most effective homeostatic functioning of the neuropil.

RESUMO

Objective To investigate the protective role of transient focal ischemic precondition(PC) against permanent focal cerebral ischemia, to define the proper time dose for precondition, and to study the reaction of astroglia in cerebral ischemic tolerance. Methods Temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion(10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes) followed three day reperfusion before permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion(PMCAO) transcranially was used as precondition in Wistar rats. The protective role was evaluated by observing the neurological deficits, analyzing the infarct volume and studying changes of pathohistology. The reaction of astroglia was observed by using anti GFAP immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the control group, 20 min ischemic precondition, which did not produce neuronal damage obviously, alleviated the neurological deficits and reduced the infarct volume significantly( P
