生长发育期氯化镧暴露对大鼠海马神经元和神经突触超微结构的影响

目的研究生长发育期氯化镧(LaCl3)暴露对大鼠海马神经元和神经突触超微结构的影响。方法 40只Wistar雌性成年大鼠随机分成对照和低、中、高浓度染镧组,低、中、高浓度染镧组雌鼠产仔后分别饮用0.25%,0.5%,1.0%LaCl3溶液,对照雌鼠产仔后饮用蒸馏水。各染镧组仔鼠断乳前吸吮母乳染镧,断乳后自行饮用0.25%,0.5%和1.0%LaCl3溶液1个月。采用穿梭箱测定仔鼠学习记忆能力,采用电感耦合等离子体-质谱法(ICP-MS)测定仔鼠海马组织中镧含量,采用透射电镜技术观察仔鼠海马神经元和神经突触的超微结构。结果穿梭箱测试时,低、中浓度染镧组仔鼠的主动逃避潜伏时间以及中浓度染镧组仔鼠的电击次数和电击时间均显著多于对照组,高浓度染镧组仔鼠的电击次数、电击时间和主动逃避潜伏时间显著多于对照和低浓度染镧组。低、中、高浓度染镧组仔鼠海马组织中镧含量显著高于对照组,分别达到对照组的10.5倍、16.5倍和26.0倍。随着镧染毒水平的增加,海马神经元超微结构的损伤程度明显加重。此外,与对照组比较,染镧组仔鼠海马神经突触活性带较短、突触后致密物较薄,且中、高浓度染镧组仔鼠海马神经突触的界面曲率减小。结论 LaCl3损害大鼠的学习记忆能力,这可能与镧在海马内蓄积而损害海马神经元和神经突触的超微结构有关。

Effects of Lanthanum on Neuronal and Synaptic Ultra-structure in Hippocampus of Rats in Growth and Developmental Stage

Objective To study the effects of lanthanum (La) on neuronal and synaptic ultra-structure in the hippocampus of rats in growth and developmental stage. Methods Wistar female adult rats were divided randomly into four groups: control, low, moderate and high LaCl3 exposure groups. After their pups were born, in the control group, the dam rats drank distilled water, and in exposed groups, the dam rats drank the water of 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1.0% LaCl3, respectively. The pups in exposed groups were exposed to LaCl3...
