目的探讨心,娟对哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白mTOR/核糖体亚基S6蛋白激酶(p70S6K)信号转导通路及凋亡相关基因表达的影响,观察人参皂甙Rg1对Aβ25-35;引起细胞凋亡的对抗作用和作用机制。方法取SD大鼠30只,随机分为5组,每组6只,即生理盐水对照组、鹪,埘损伤组、A&5嘣+Rg1(20、40、80mg/kg)3个剂量组。连续用Rg1灌胃3周后,脑室注射觞,娟10μL(1.0mmol/L),生理盐水对照组注射等量生理盐水。脑室注射后7d,快速取海马CA1区,-70℃冰箱冻存,ImPCR分析mTOR、p70S6K以及凋亡相关基因c—fos、Jun-B、c-jun的mRNA表达水平。结果脑室内注射Aβ25~35能使mTOR和p70S6K的mRNA表达水平降低,使凋亡相关基因c—fOS、Jun-B、c-jHn的mRNA表达明显增加。Rg1可剂量依赖性对抗鹅5哂引起的p70S6KmRNA表达水平降低及c—los、Jun—B、c—jun的mRNA表达水平增加。结论mTOR/p70S6K信号转导通路下调可能参与了Aβ25~35引起的海马神经细胞的凋亡,Rg1通过对抗心5~35引起mTOR/p70S6K信号转导通路下调,抑制促凋亡基因的表达,保护海马神经细胞。
Objective To explore the effects of Aβ25~35 on mTOR/p70S6K signal transduction pathway and the apoptosis- related gene expressions. Methods Thirty Sprague - Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups with six ones in each group: the control group using physiological saline, the group of Aβ25~35 and the groups of Aβ25~35+ Rgl of 20,40 and 80 mg/kg. The rats were administrated with intracerebroventricular injec- tion after using the lavage of Rgl for 3 weeks. Equivalent dose of physiological saline was used in the contrast group, hippocampal CA1 region was removed seven days later and received cryopreservation and the analysis of the levels reverse transcription- polyrnerase chain reaction (RT- PCR)of mTOR/p70S6K and the apoptosisrelated gene expressions of c - los, and Jun - B mRNA. Results Intracerebroventricular injection of Aβ25~35 signif- icantly downregulated the expressions of mTOR and p70S6K mRNA levels in hippocampal CA1 regions. These changes were accompanied by the elevated levels of c - fos,Jun- B and c -jun rnRNA. Pretreatment of Rgl 20, 40,80 mg/kg. Conclusion The downregulation of mTOR/p70S6K levels may contribute to the apoptosis evoked by Aβ25~35. Rgl can protect hippocampal neurons through inhibiting the expressions of apoptotic genes by upregulation of mTOR/p70S6K in rat hippocampus.
