摘要

为了探讨强制运动对成年大鼠海马齿状回(dentate gyrus, DG)神经发生的影响,强制大鼠在马达驱动的转轮中跑步,用5- 溴-2- 脱氧尿苷(5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, BrdU)标记增殖细胞,巢蛋白(neuroepthelial stem cell protein, nestin)标记神经干细胞/前体细胞,然后用免疫细胞化学技术检测大鼠DG 中BrdU 及nestin 阳性细胞。为了解强制运动后DG 增殖细胞的功能意义,采用Y- 迷宫检测大鼠的学习能力。结果表明,强制运动组DG 中BrdU 及nestin 阳性细胞数均明显多于对照组(P<0.05); 强制运动对DG 神经发生的效应有强度依赖性。Y- 迷宫检测结果显示,强制运动能明显改善大鼠的学习能力。结果提示,在转轮中进行强制跑步能促进成年大鼠DG 的神经发生,并改善学习能力。

Abstract

To investigate the effect of forced running in motor-driven wheel on neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG)of adult rats, 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU), a thymidine analog was applied to mark cell proliferation. Neuroepthelial stem cellprotein (nestin) expression was used to identify neural stem/precursor cells. The BrdU- and nestin-positive cells were examined byimmunohistochemical technique. The ability of learning was evaluated by Y-maze test to explore the functional role of the newborn cellsin the DG after forced running. It was found that the number of BrdU- and nestin-positive cells in the DG in running groups wassignificantly increased compared to that in the control group (P<0.05). The effect of forced running on neurogenesis was intensitydependent.In addition, an improvement of learning ability in Y-maze test was observed after forced running. These findings suggest thatforced running in motor-driven wheel could enhance neurogenesis in the hippocampal DG of adult rats and improve learning ability.
