【摘要】: 目的 神經(jīng)管畸形(neural tube defects,NTD)是人類常見先天畸形,是影響人口素質(zhì)的最常見、最嚴重的出生缺陷性疾病之一。它是由于在胚胎發(fā)育過程中,神經(jīng)管閉合不全所引起的一組缺陷,包括無腦畸形、腦膨出和脊柱裂等。它們在病因?qū)W上是多因素的,是遺傳學(xué)因素和環(huán)境因素共同作用結(jié)果。胚胎腦發(fā)育的早期階段主要是神經(jīng)板隆起、彎曲、閉合形成神經(jīng)管,神經(jīng)管的頭部從前向后依次發(fā)育形成腦的基本組織形態(tài),即端腦、間腦、中腦、后腦,在神經(jīng)管閉合過程中出現(xiàn)異常就會導(dǎo)致NTD。 研究表明一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)與腦內(nèi)許多生理功能相關(guān),尤其在神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)分化過程中扮演重要角色。另有文獻報道在雞胚NO通過細胞凋亡調(diào)節(jié)細胞數(shù)目影響神經(jīng)管的閉合,從而影響神經(jīng)管發(fā)育。由于NO極不穩(wěn)定,半衰期短,目前尚無法直接定位組織中NO的分布,主要通過對一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase,NOS)的定位來反映NO的分布。NOS是催化合成內(nèi)源性NO的唯一酶,在很大程度上決定著NO的生物學(xué)效應(yīng)。NOS分為3型,分別為神經(jīng)元型一氧化氮合酶(neuronal NOS,nNOS);誘導(dǎo)型一氧化氮合酶(inducible NOS,iNOS);內(nèi)皮型一氧化氮合酶(endothelial NOS,eNOS)。 研究資料表明NO增高可以促使細胞發(fā)生凋亡,從而影響神經(jīng)管的發(fā)育,但在三種類型NOS中,究竟是來源于哪一種類型NOS的NO在神經(jīng)管發(fā)育過程中起主導(dǎo)作用目前尚不清楚。因此,本研究采用乙烯硫脲(Ethylenethiourea,ETU)致畸的大鼠神經(jīng)管畸形動物模型觀察nNOS、iNOS、eNOS在胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中表達情況,從血管內(nèi)皮細胞與神經(jīng)細胞相互作用影響神經(jīng)管發(fā)育角度,探討NOS與腦發(fā)育異常的關(guān)系,希望為腦發(fā)育異常機制提供理論根據(jù)。 材料和方法 一、神經(jīng)管畸形大鼠模型制備與動物分組 Wister大鼠80只(中國醫(yī)科大學(xué)第一臨床學(xué)院實驗動物中心提供)體重250~300克。雌雄(比例3:1)交配后,清晨陰道涂片發(fā)現(xiàn)精子定為孕0天,在孕10天時,隨機選取50只孕鼠為ETU致畸組,經(jīng)胃管注入1%ETU,劑量為125mg/kg,制作神經(jīng)管畸形大鼠模型。10只為對照組,注入等量生理鹽水。分別在大鼠孕14d、20d時,剖宮取出胎鼠,一部分胎鼠用0.9%的生理鹽水10毫升及4%多聚甲醛20毫升分別進行左心室灌注固定,然后在顯微鏡下取出胎鼠的大腦組織,置于4%多聚甲醛后固定3小時,轉(zhuǎn)入30%蔗糖過夜,將固定好的標(biāo)本連續(xù)冠狀冰凍切片或石蠟包埋;另一部分胎鼠在顯微鏡下分離新鮮未經(jīng)固定大腦組織,液氮速凍后于-70℃保存。實驗分四組:對照組、給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組、腦膨出組。 二、神經(jīng)管畸形胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)的病理改變觀測 1、對E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)進行HE染色,以明確腦膨出胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)的病理結(jié)構(gòu)變化。 2、應(yīng)用細胞凋亡原位檢測法檢測不同組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)神經(jīng)元凋亡情況,并計算凋亡指數(shù),,進行X~2檢驗。 3、應(yīng)用免疫熒光技術(shù)檢測bcl-2在E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)神經(jīng)元細胞中的分布和表達,應(yīng)用Western blot法檢測胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中caspase-3、bcl-2的蛋白表達半定量分析。 三、神經(jīng)管畸形胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中NOS的差異表達檢測 1、應(yīng)用免疫熒光技術(shù)檢測nNOS、iNOS、eNOS在E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)神經(jīng)元和腦血管內(nèi)皮細胞中的分布和表達,應(yīng)用免疫熒光技術(shù)檢測V8腦血管內(nèi)皮細胞中的分布和表達;應(yīng)用Western blot法檢測胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS、iNOS、eNOS的蛋白表達半定量分析。 2、應(yīng)用實時定量PCR對nNOSmRNA、eNOSmRNA、iNOS mRNA的表達作相對定量分析。 結(jié)果 一、神經(jīng)管畸形模型成功制備 在大鼠孕10d給予ETU處理后,孕20d剖腹取出胎鼠發(fā)現(xiàn)可出現(xiàn)腦膨出、脊柱裂、無尾、肛門閉鎖等多種畸形。對對照組、給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組、腦膨出組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)進行HE染色,發(fā)現(xiàn)給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組與對照組的胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)無明顯異常改變,而腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)明顯變薄,細胞數(shù)量減少,部分細胞變性(細胞核淡染,腫脹)。 二、應(yīng)用細胞凋亡原位檢測法檢測不同組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中細胞凋亡情況 E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中Tunel陽性細胞數(shù)目在正常組、給藥無畸形組及脊柱裂組細胞凋亡數(shù)無明顯改變,而在腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)細胞凋亡數(shù)明顯多于對照組,計算凋亡細胞百分率,然后用X~2檢驗進行分析,腦膨出組和對照組的細胞凋亡指數(shù)差異有統(tǒng)計學(xué)意義(P0.05)。 三、免疫熒光技術(shù)檢測E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中bcl-2的表達差異 E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中bcl-2陽性神經(jīng)元表達量在對照組、給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組無明顯改變,而腦膨出組bcl-2陽性神經(jīng)元表達量明顯減少。 四、Western-blot檢測E14、E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中caspase-3、bcl-2蛋白的表達 1、用Western-blot方法檢測不同組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中caspase-3、bcl-2蛋白表達水平,結(jié)果表明對照組、給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中caspase-3、bcl-2蛋白表達水平無明顯改變,而腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中caspase-3蛋白活化片段表達水平明顯增加,bcl-2蛋白表達水平明顯減少。 2、用Western-blot方法檢測腦膨出組、對照組E14、E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中caspase-3蛋白表達水平,結(jié)果表明E14、E20腦膨出組大腦皮質(zhì)中caspase-3活化片段表達明顯高于對照組(P0.01)。 五、胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS、eNOS和iNOS蛋白的差異表達 1、利用免疫熒光技術(shù)檢測到給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組和對照組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS陽性神經(jīng)元數(shù)量無明顯改變,而腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS陽性神經(jīng)元數(shù)量明顯減少,計算平均光密度值發(fā)現(xiàn)與其他組相比,腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS表達量明顯減少;給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組和對照組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中eNOS陽性血管數(shù)量無明顯改變,而腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中eNOS陽性血管數(shù)量增多,計算平均熒光密度值發(fā)現(xiàn)各組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中eNOS的表達無明顯改變,同樣計算V8染色血管數(shù)量及平均熒光密度值亦得到同樣結(jié)果;在各組未檢測到iNOS陽性染色。 2、在Western blot分析中,發(fā)現(xiàn)E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS、eNOS蛋白表達在給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組和對照組間無明顯改變,而腦膨出組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS蛋白表達明顯減少,eNOS蛋白表達增加;在各組未檢測到iNOS蛋白表達。 3、在Western blot分析中,發(fā)現(xiàn)與對照組比較,E14腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS蛋白表達明顯減少,eNOS蛋白表達水平明顯增加,與E20結(jié)果相一致;在E14胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中檢測到iNOS蛋白微量表達,但腦膨出組與對照組比較無明顯差異,E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中未檢測到iNOS表達。 六、不同組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS mRNA、eNOS mRNA和iNOS mRNA的表達 1、實時定量PCR檢測發(fā)現(xiàn)對照組、給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組和腦膨出組E20胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中nNOS mRNA表達無明顯改變; 2、給藥無畸形組、脊柱裂組和對照組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中eNOSmRNA表達無明顯改變,而腦膨出組胎鼠大腦皮質(zhì)中eNOS mRNA表達明顯增多; 3、在各組未檢測到iNOSmRNA表達。 結(jié)論 1、在用ETU成功制備神經(jīng)管畸形大鼠模型過程中,發(fā)現(xiàn)孕10天是獲得神經(jīng)管畸形大鼠模型的最佳給藥時間。 2、神經(jīng)管畸形中腦膨出胎鼠大腦組織中eNOS表達升高,引起NO釋放增加,可能是通過caspase-3、bcl-2途徑促發(fā)神經(jīng)元凋亡,導(dǎo)致神經(jīng)管閉合缺陷引起腦發(fā)育異常,說明eNOS在神經(jīng)管畸形發(fā)育過程中起主導(dǎo)作用。 3、腦血管與神經(jīng)元發(fā)育比例失衡,可能也是腦發(fā)育異常的一個重要因素。

There was no significant change in the number of Tunel - positive cells in the cerebral cortex of E20 fetuses than in the control group , and the percentage of apoptotic cells was calculated . The percentage of apoptotic cells was calculated by X - 2 test , and the difference of apoptosis index between the brain - expanded group and the control group was statistically significant ( P0.05 ) .
Detection of bcl - 2 expression in E20 fetal rat cerebral cortex by immunofluorescence technique

Differential expression of nitric oxide synthase , eNOS and iNOS protein in rat cerebral cortex
1 . There was no significant change in the number of NOS - positive neurons in the cerebral cortex of E20 fetal mice , but the number of NOS - positive neurons in the cerebral cortex of the brain expanded group was significantly decreased , and the average optical density value was found to be significantly decreased compared with other groups .
There was no significant change in eNOS positive blood vessels in the cerebral cortex of E20 fetal mice , but the number of eNOS positive vessels in the cerebral cortex of the brain expanded group was increased , and the mean fluorescence density value was calculated to show that the expression of eNOS in the cerebral cortex of each group did not change significantly , and the same result was also obtained by calculating the number of V8 stained vessels and the average fluorescence density value .
iNOS positive staining was not detected in each group .
2 . In the Western blot analysis , it was found that in E20 fetal rat cerebral cortex , the expression of eNOS protein in the cerebral cortex of E20 fetal rat was not changed obviously , but the expression of the expression of eNOS protein in the cerebral cortex of E20 fetal rat was significantly decreased , and the expression of eNOS protein was increased .

Conclusion
1 . In the process of successfully preparing the rat model of the neural tube with ETU , it was found that 10 days pregnant was the best time to administer the rat model of the neural tube .
2 . The expression of eNOS in the brain tissue of the brain tissue of the neural tube was increased , which caused the increase of NO release , which could lead to the apoptosis of the neurons through the caspase - 3 and bcl - 2 pathway , which led to abnormal brain development caused by the closure defect of the neural tube , suggesting that the eNOS plays a leading role in the development of the neural tube .
3 . The imbalance of cerebral vascular and neuronal development may also be an important factor in brain development .
