腦卒中是全球第三大高致死性、高致殘性疾病[1]。近年來,對缺血性腦卒中的病理機制研究有了很大進步,但目前除缺血急性期溶栓治療外,對于神經(jīng)康復治療仍沒有有效的神經(jīng)保護藥物[2]。研究表明,腦缺血能刺激成年哺乳動物內(nèi)源性神經(jīng)發(fā)生[3],對腦損傷后期的神經(jīng)修復有重要意義。但腦損傷所誘發(fā)的神經(jīng)再生相關(guān)因子表達只在短時間內(nèi)有明顯變化,自體應(yīng)激產(chǎn)生的神經(jīng)發(fā)生過程短暫,不足以修復缺血造成的神經(jīng)血管損傷,恢復神經(jīng)功能。Wnt/ β-catenin信號通路是哺乳動物體內(nèi)廣泛存在的高度保守的信號通路,在神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)發(fā)育中發(fā)揮重要作用。研究顯示,Wnt信號可通過促進祖細胞增殖,調(diào)節(jié)成年
動物側(cè)腦室外側(cè)壁室下區(qū)(subventricular zone,SVZ)內(nèi)的神經(jīng)發(fā)生;在局部腦缺血損傷模型的SVZ區(qū)采用慢病毒表達Wnt3a-HA能促進神經(jīng)功能恢復,增加紋狀體和SVZ區(qū)成熟神經(jīng)元的數(shù)量,提示W(wǎng)nt信號可能為腦缺血損傷后干細胞增殖和分化、神經(jīng)元的存活提供合適的微環(huán)境。神經(jīng)發(fā)生素2(neurogenin 2,Ngn2)、Pax6、Tbr2作為Wnt信號下游的轉(zhuǎn)錄因子,是神經(jīng)細胞發(fā)育過程中所必需的轉(zhuǎn)錄調(diào)控因子(transcriptional control factor,TCF),參與神經(jīng)元前體細胞的增殖及分化[4-6],對神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的發(fā)育有著重要的影響。我們的前期研究表明,大鼠大腦中動脈阻塞(middle cerebral artery occlusion,MCAO)模型中,Wnt3a和β-catenin蛋白表達均有顯著變化[7]。
莫諾苷是本室從山茱萸中提取的環(huán)烯醚萜苷類單體化合物,已證實在體外和體內(nèi)具有抗氧化和抗凋亡作用[8-9]。我們通過缺血性腦卒中大鼠模型的研究,發(fā)現(xiàn)莫諾苷能縮小大腦梗死體積,通過維持Wnt3a信號通路的激活,促進神經(jīng)干細胞增殖和分化,最終促進神經(jīng)功能恢復[10]。本研究觀察其對Wnt信號通路下游轉(zhuǎn)錄因子表達的影響,從而探討莫諾苷促神經(jīng)修復作用的機制。
1.1 主要儀器和試劑
尼龍栓線,直徑0.26 mm(2634-100):北京沙東生物技術(shù)有限公司。Powerpac Basic電泳儀:美國Bio-Rad公司。Ngn2抗體、Pax6抗體、Tbr2抗體:美國ABCAM公司。β-actin抗體:美國SANTACRUZ公司。
莫諾苷為中藥材山茱萸干燥成熟果肉提取物。高效液相色譜儀分析(C18柱,柱溫35℃,乙腈-水15∶85洗脫糖苷類,流速1.0 ml/min,檢測波長240 nm),純度98.5%。
1.2 實驗動物分組及給藥
健康成年雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠,體重260~280 g,由北京維通利華實驗動物中心提供,許可證號:SCXK(京)2006-0009。12 h晝夜循環(huán)清潔級飼養(yǎng),預適應(yīng)環(huán)境1周后進行實驗。將大鼠編號,用隨機數(shù)字表法分為假手術(shù)組,模型組,莫諾苷小、中、大劑量組,每組至少3只。
莫諾苷溶于生理鹽水,在MCAO造模后3 h按照30 mg/kg、90 mg/kg、270 mg/kg每天1次灌胃給藥,連續(xù)7 d。假手術(shù)組和模型組予等體積蒸餾水。
1.3 模型制備
模型制作參考Longa線栓法[11]。大鼠造模前一晚禁食,自由飲水。10%水合氯醛350 mg/kg腹腔注射麻醉。仰臥位固定,頸部消毒,切開右側(cè)頸部,逐層分離暴露右側(cè)頸總動脈、頸外動脈以及頸內(nèi)動脈,分別結(jié)扎右側(cè)頸總動脈及右側(cè)頸外動脈。在頸總動脈近動脈分叉處剪一小口,將線栓插入左側(cè)頸內(nèi)動脈約18~20 mm,到達狹窄的近端大腦前動脈,感到輕微阻力時立即停止插線??p合傷口,抗生素預防感染,留置線頭于體外。30 min后,拔出尼龍線,完成再灌注。假手術(shù)組麻醉后進行相同的手術(shù)操作,但不插線。
術(shù)后控制室溫25~30℃,3 h動物清醒后觀察其行為。采用Ludmila Belayev評分法[12]。①姿勢反射試驗,即提尾懸空試驗:無明顯神經(jīng)功能缺失為0分,梗死對側(cè)肢體屈曲為1分,側(cè)推試驗陽性為2分。②前肢放置試驗。A.視覺亞試驗。前方刺激:實驗者將動物握于手中,使其前爪懸空,讓動物位于桌子前方,自桌面上方10 cm處向桌面緩慢斜線靠近,大鼠正常反應(yīng)為前肢抓向桌面,損傷大鼠則表現(xiàn)為肢體反應(yīng)延遲。0分,動物肢體放置反應(yīng)正常;1分,反應(yīng)延遲不超過2 s;2分,反應(yīng)延遲超過2 s。側(cè)方刺激:讓動物位于桌子側(cè)方,實驗檢測方法及評分標準同前方刺激。B.觸覺亞實驗。將動物雙眼遮住,并使其前爪懸空,用其前爪背刺輕觸桌面,刺激深度僅達皮膚和毛發(fā),動物反應(yīng)及評分同視覺試驗,同樣分為前方和側(cè)方刺激。C.本體覺亞實驗。操作及評分同觸覺亞實驗,予前爪較大壓力,使刺激深達肌肉及關(guān)節(jié)。
1.4 Western blotting
10%水合氯醛0.4 ml/kg腹腔注射麻醉,開顱取腦,取皮層梗死周邊區(qū)組織,加入7倍腦皮層質(zhì)量預冷RIPA裂解緩沖液勻漿。勻漿液14000 g 4℃離心30 min,收集上清。BCA法測定蛋白濃度,用裂解液調(diào)節(jié)使得各組總蛋白濃度一致,加緩沖液變性煮沸10 min。
待檢測樣品通過10%~15%十二烷基磺酸鈉-聚丙烯酰胺凝膠電泳(SDS-PAGE)。轉(zhuǎn)膜后將NC膜浸在5%脫脂奶粉,搖床室溫封閉2 h,分別加入Ngn2、Pax6、Tbr2一抗4℃過夜,洗掉多余一抗后加入辣根過氧化酶標記的二抗室溫孵育2 h,洗掉多余二抗。ECL化學發(fā)光法顯色,曝光。用Quantity One軟件對顯影條帶進行灰度分析,相同泳道中蛋白含量用β-ac-
tin水平標化。
1.5 統(tǒng)計學分析
腦缺血再灌注7 d后,模型組患側(cè)皮層Ngn2表達較假手術(shù)組升高(P<0.05),但Pax6和Tbr2表達與假手術(shù)組無顯著性差異。莫諾苷中、大劑量組患側(cè)皮層Ngn2和Pax6表達較模型組升高(均P<0.05)。各組患側(cè)皮層Tbr2表達無顯著性差異。見表1。

Wnt/β-catenin信號可介導細胞存活、神經(jīng)干細胞的增殖及分化等活動[13-14],參與成年神經(jīng)發(fā)生過程,在腦卒中等疾病的神經(jīng)修復中起重要作用。研究顯示,腦卒中后該通路各元件在大腦SVZ區(qū)的表達上調(diào),并且通過激活下游靶基因,在促進缺血損傷后的神經(jīng)發(fā)生中發(fā)揮重要作用[14-17]。
轉(zhuǎn)錄因子Ngn2、Pax6、Tbr2已被證實為Wnt通路介導的成年神經(jīng)發(fā)生的下游介質(zhì)[17-18]。轉(zhuǎn)錄因子Pax6在大部分增殖的SVZ區(qū)前體細胞表達,并在遷移的成神經(jīng)細胞亞群中促進神經(jīng)元的分化[18]。對Pax6突變鼠的研究顯示,Pax6通過Wnt-Tcf信號通路調(diào)節(jié)前腦發(fā)育[19],并且在嗅球部位調(diào)節(jié)內(nèi)在神經(jīng)元特殊亞型的分化[20]。Tbr2是含有T-box結(jié)構(gòu)的轉(zhuǎn)錄因子,對成年小鼠SVZ區(qū)和海馬齒狀回的神經(jīng)發(fā)生非常重要[21]。Tbr2在SVZ區(qū)中間神經(jīng)元前體細胞和基底祖細胞表達,為皮層上部產(chǎn)生神經(jīng)元[22]。Tbr2功能性失活可促進神經(jīng)干細胞增殖,但長時間Tbr2缺失,則由于神經(jīng)元分化而導致神經(jīng)發(fā)生停止[19]。Ngn2是具有基本螺旋-環(huán)-螺旋結(jié)構(gòu)(bHLH)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子的一員,可抑制星形膠質(zhì)細胞分化,促進神經(jīng)元分化。Berninger等通過逆轉(zhuǎn)錄病毒將Ngn2基因?qū)氪笫竽X皮質(zhì)的星形膠質(zhì)細胞,表明Ngn2可促進神經(jīng)蛋白表達,使膠質(zhì)細胞分化為神經(jīng)元[23]。已有研究顯示,腦缺血可激活Ngn2基因表達[24],而且β-catenin信號能上調(diào)Ngn2表達,但具體機制還不清楚[25-26]。
本研究顯示,大鼠腦缺血再灌注后,患側(cè)皮層轉(zhuǎn)錄因子Ngn2表達增加;給予莫諾苷治療可使Ngn2和Pax6表達進一步上調(diào),提示莫諾苷可能通過調(diào)控該因子表達,促進神經(jīng)干細胞的增殖,并進一步介導神經(jīng)元分化。
缺血再灌注大鼠患側(cè)皮層Tbr2表達無明顯變化。我們推測可能與Pax6和Tbr2表達模式的復雜性有關(guān)[27-28]。有研究表明,Pax6和Tbr2的作用相互關(guān)聯(lián)。發(fā)育過程中Pax6的高表達可導致有絲分裂后期細胞分化為中間神經(jīng)元,但下調(diào)Pax6又可促進新皮層嗅球內(nèi)僧帽細胞Tbr2的表達[28]。我們將進一步通過分子生物學方法明確莫諾苷通過Wnt/β-catenin信號通路促進神經(jīng)發(fā)生的具體機制,為將莫諾苷開發(fā)成為腦卒中的神經(jīng)保護藥物提供實驗依據(jù)。

Objective To study the effects of morroniside on the expression of Wnt signaling-related transcription factors neurogenin 2 (Ngn2),Pax6 and Tbr2 in the ischemic ipsilateral cortex 7 days after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods 15 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group(n=3),ischemia group(n=3),and morroniside groups(low,medium and high dosage groups,n=3).The middle cerebral artery were occluded for 30 min,and re-perfused.Morroniside was administered intragastrically once a day at dose of 30 mg/kg,90 mg/kg and 270 mg/kg 3 hours after operation.The expression of Ngn2,Pax6 and Tbr2 in the ischemic ipsilateral cortex were detected with Western blotting analysis 7 days after operation.Results The expression of Ngn2 increased in the ischemia group compared with the sham group(P<0.05),and it further increased the morroniside groups of medium and high dosage compared with the ischemia group(P<0.01).There was no significant difference between the ischemia group and sham group in the expression of Pax6, while it increased the morroniside groups of medium and high dosage compared with the ischemia group(P<0.01).There was no significant difference among all the groups in the expression of Tbr2.Conclusion Morroniside could increase the expression of Ngn2 and Pax6 in the ischemic ipsilateral cortex 7 days after ischemia-reperfusion in rats,suggesting promoting the neurogenesis after ischemia.
