Activation of intracerebral astrocytes in a demyelination model of mice at different ages
目的 观察星形胶质细胞在不同年龄(青壮年及中老年)cuprizone(CPZ)脱髓鞘小鼠模型中的激活特点,探讨星形胶质细胞激活与髓鞘脱失可能存在的内在联系。 方法 选取6周龄(青壮年)及9月龄(中老年)雄性C57BL/6小鼠建立CPZ导致的急性脱髓鞘动物模型,经0.2%CPZ处理6周后,通过体质量测量及卢卡斯快蓝(luxol fast blue
Objective To observe the activating features of astrocytosis in a cuprizone (CPZ)-induced demyelination model of mice at different ages and their correlation with demyelination. Methods Six-week old and 9-month old male C57BL/6 mice were enrolled in this study and served as 6-week group and 9-month group
respectively. A mouse model of CPZ-induced acute demyelination was established. Six weeks after 0.2%CPZ treatment
whether the model was successfully established was observed by measuring the body weight and luxol fast blue (LFB) staining. Expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and myelin basic protein (MBP) in corpus callosum and cortex from 6-week group and 9-month group was detected by immunohostochemistry and Western blotting
respectively. Results Six weeks after 0.2%CPZ treatment
the number of GFAP positive cells in corpus callosum and cortex from 6-week group was significantly increased (P0.01)
while the expression of MBP significantly decreased (P0.01); the number of GFAP positive cells in corpus callosum from 9-month group was significantly increased (P0.05)
while the expression of MBP significantly decreased (P0.05). The number of GFAP positive cells was significantly greater and the expression level of MBP was significantly lower in 6-week group than in 9-month group (P0.01). Conclusion Activation of astrocytes is more significant in 6-week old mice and positively related with myelin sheath damage. It may be one of the important reasons for myelin sheath damage.
