RESUMO

Introducción: El trauma craneoencefalico (TCE)es un fenómeno heterogéneo desde el punto de vista molecular, celular y en la respuesta clínica. Se considera que esta diversidad se debe a la intensidad de la injuria primaria, eventos secundarios asociados (hipoxia, isquemia, edema, inflamación), al estado metabólico del paciente, su base genética, edad, género, etc. Para determinar la integridad anatomo-funcional de las células nerviosas es importante verificar el estado de la cito, dendroarquitectura y preservación laminar como un requisito para garantizar conectividad. Objetivo: Valorar la respuesta de las neuronas al trauma con dos marcadores neuronales selectivos sensibles a la lesión NeuN y MAP2. Materiales y métodos: Se utilizaron muestras (4 de lóbulo temporal y 2 de lóbulo frontal) de 6 pacientes que habían sufrido TCE. Las muestras se fijaron en PLP, cortadas en vibrßtomo a 50 µm, incubadas con los anticuerpos NeuN y MAP2 y procesadas con el sistema avidina-biotina. Como control se utilizó tejido humano post-mortem. Resultados: La inmunorreactividad (IR) para NeuN fue anormal en todas las muestras, con sectores que mostraron IR ligeramente alterada, otros con perdida parcial de las capas supragranulares, sobre todo la lßmina III y otros con pérdida drastica de todas las laminas. La IR para MAP2 se alteró en todas las muestras con diferentes grados de compromiso. Los procesos dendríticos fueron difíciles de seguir, especialmente los procedentes de la lßmina V, los cuales se observaron tortuosos, fragmentados y con orientación aberrante. Conclusiones: Con el propósito de conocer el estado de las neuronas después de un evento lesivo se recomienda el uso de los marcadores NeuN y MAP2 complementarios a los métodos clasicos. El presente trabajo muestra la diversidad de respuestas histopatológicas en sectores adyacentes de una misma muestra con ambos marcadores, como un indicador de los diferentes estados de neurodegeneración.


Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogeneous phenomenon from a molecular, cellular and pathological perspective. Clinical outcome is also extremely variable. It is considered that such a diversity response to TBI is related to the primary injury intensity, associated secondary events (hypoxia, ischemia, oedema and inflammation), metabolic patient state, genetic background, age, gender, etc. After injury the histopathological outcome is variable in time and space. In order to determine the anatomofunctional integrity of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, it is important to verify the state of the cito and dendroarchitecture and the laminar preservation as a requisite to guarantee connectivity. Objective: The aim of the present work was to evaluate the response of human cortical neurons using two selective neuronal markers, NeuN and MAP2, which recognize citoarchitecture and dendritic arrangement, respectively. Materials and methods: In the present study we utilized six tissue samples (4 temporal and 2 frontal cortices) from TBI patients. Tissues from four post-mortem human brains were used as controls. Tissue samples were fixed in PLP, cut at 50 um in a vibratome, incubated with NeuN and MAP2 and processes with the avidin/biotin complex. Results: NeuN-IR was abnormal in all samples analyzed with some sectors showing slight NeuN-IR, others with NeuN-IR partial loss in supragranular layers, especially layer IIII, and other with a drastic reduction in staining in all cortical layers. MAP2-IR was altered across sections with sectors showing different degrees of changes in the normal pattern of MAP2-IR. Dendritic processes were difficult to follow because of its discontinuity. Layer V apical dendritic processes appear tortuous and its IR was fragmented in some cases they take aberrant orientations.

RESUMO

To investigate the receptors mediating the regulation of norepinephrine (NE) release in human cerebral cortex slices, we examined the effects of opioid agonists for mu-, delta-, and kappa -receptors on the high potassium (15 mM) -evoked release of [3H]NE. [3H]NE release induced by high potassium was calcium-dependent and tetrodotoxin-sensitive. [D-Pen2, D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE) and deltorphin II (Delt II) inhibited the stimulated release of norepinephrine in a dose-dependent manner. However, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly- (Me) Phe-Gly-ol and U69, 593 did not influence the NE release. Inhibitory effect of DPDPE and Delt-II was antagonized by naloxone, naltrindole, 7-benzylidenaltrexone and naltriben. These results suggest that both delta 1 and delta 2 receptors are involved in regulation of NE release in human cerebral cortex.
