构建D-半乳糖(D-gal)致衰老模型,探讨D-gal诱导衰老的分子机制,为临床治疗阿尔茨海默病(AD)提供理论依据。腹腔注射D-gal构建SD大鼠衰老模型,采用Morris水迷宫实验(MwM)进行行为学检测,采用化学比色法检测大脑皮质一氧化氮合酶(NOS)、一氧化氮(NO)、铜锌一过氧化物岐化酶(Cu,Zn-SOD)、总超氧化物歧化酶(T-SOD)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GSH-ST)、谷胱甘肽过氧化酶(GSH-PX)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)、丙二醛(MDA),总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)和过氧化氢(H2O2)的含量。结果显示:衰老模型组与正常对照组比较:逃避潜伏期明显延长(P〈0.05),在第Ⅲ象限逗留的时间明显减少(P〈0.05),跨越平台次数明显减少(P〈0.05);皮质MDA、H202和NO的含量增加(P〈0.05),SOD、GSH、GSH-ST、GSH-Px和T-AOC的含量降低(P〈0.05),而NOS的含量没有明显变化(P〉0.05)。结果提示,D-gal能通过调控内源性巯基抗氧化物(酶)和NO的表达,减退学习记忆能力,而诱导SD大鼠神经系统的衰老:
To investigate the molecular mechanisms of the aging induced by D-galactose, we used D-galactose- aging rat model, so as to provide basic theory for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) in clinic. Aging rat model was established by injecting peritoneally D-Galactose ( 100 mg/kg, 56 days) into the rats. The behaviour was examined by the Morris water maze (MWM). The nitric oxide synthase (NOS) , nitric oxide ( NO), Cu Zu-superoxide dismutase ( Cu Zn-SOD) , total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) , glutathione reductase (GR) , Glu- tathione-s-transferase ( GSH-ST), glutathione peroxidase( GSH-Px), glutathione ( GSH), malondialdehyde ( MDA), anti-oxidative capabilities (T-AOC) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 02 ) activities were examined by colorimetric method. The results showed that the model rats exhibited significant increase in escape latencies ( P 〈 0.05 ), while a decrease in the time of staying in quadrant of platform and the num- ber of crossing over a platform as compared to control group ( P 〈0.05 ). The cortex of the model rats showed significant increase in MDA, H2O2 and NO activities(P 〈 0.05), while a decrease in T-AOC, T-SOD, GSH, GSH-Px and GSH-ST activities as compared to control group ( P 〈 0.05 ). However, the difference of NOS activity was not detected between two groups ( P 〉 0.05 ). These present results suggest that Chronic D-galactose exposure can injure the spatial memory and induce the aging of central nervous system by manipulating thiol an- tioxidants and NO of the cerebral cortex in SD rats.
