Effect of gp120mAb on long-term potentiation inhibited by HIV-1 gp120 in rat hippocampus in vitro / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explor the effect of gp120mAb on synaptic transmission and plasticity changed by gp120 in the CA 1 region of rat hippocampal slices.Methods:We recorded the excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) and investigated effect of gp120mAb on long-term potentiation inhibited by gp120 in rat hippocampus in vitro.Results:The results showed that HIV-1 gp120 can inhibit the LTP induced by high-frequence stimulation schaffer in CA 1,gp120 had no effect on basal synaptic transmission.HIV-1 gp120(200 pmol/L) can inhibit the LTP maintance,gp120mAb of gp120-specific antibodies can reverse the inhibition effect,But IgG can't reverse it.Conclusion:The reverse effect of gp120-specific antibody gp120mAb on long-term potentiation inhibited by HIV-1 gp120 may contribute to the HAD pathogenesis.
