灵芝孢子粉对癫痫大鼠脑组织IL-1β与c-Fos的影响

目的： 观察和探讨灵芝孢子粉对癫痫(EP)大鼠脑组织白细胞介素-1β（IL-1β）和c-Fos含量变化的影响。方法: 用放射免疫学方法检测IL-1β水平，用免疫组织化学方法检测c-Fos的表达。结果: 灵芝孢子粉组脑皮质和海马区c-Fos阳性细胞数明显少于癫痫模型组动物，脑组织中IL-1β明显低于癫痫模型组动物。结论: 灵芝孢子粉能够有效降低癫痫大鼠脑组织IL-1β水平，纠正免疫失调而起到抗癫痫作用；灵芝孢子粉能够抑制癫痫大鼠脑组织c-Fos的表达，阻断迟反应基因（LRG）以达到抗癫痫作用。

Effect of Ganoderma lucidum spores on IL-1β and c-Fos in the brain tissue of epilepsy rats

AIM: To observe the influence of Ganoderma lucidum spores on the cytokine IL-1β and c-Fos in the brain tissue of epilepsy rats. METHODS: The IL-1β level was examined by radioimmunoassay and the c-Fos expression was measured by mmunohistochemical assay. RESULTS: Comparing the Ganoderma lucidum spores group with the epilepsy model group: c-Fos positive cell count in brain cortex and hippocampus in treatment group was obviously reduced. IL-1β level in brain tissue was also reduced obviously. CONCLUSION: Ganoderma lucidum spores effectively reduces cytokine IL-1β in brain tissue of epilepsy rats, improves the immunity dysfunction and plays a role in anti-epilepsy through suppressing c-Fos expression in epilepsy rats brain tissue and blocking of LRG.
