反复低氧对小鼠脑内神经肽Y免疫反应活性的影响

目的:观察反复低氧对小鼠脑内神经肽Y(NPY)免疫反应活性的影响。方法:昆明小鼠40只随机分为对照组、低氧1次(H₁)组、低氧2次(H₂)组、低氧3次(H₃)组和低氧4次(H₄)组。对低氧各组动物分别行不同次数的反复低氧。各组动物脑内NPY的免疫反应活性采用放射免疫测定法测定。结果:小鼠对低氧的标准耐受时间随反复低氧次数的增加而显著增加。经1次低氧和2次低氧后小鼠脑内NPY的免疫反应活性明显提高,分别为正常对照组的145.5%±3.2%和147.3%±2.5%(P＜0.01);而低氧3次后则降到正常对照水平。结论:反复低氧通过预适应能显著提高小鼠对低氧的耐受性,并可诱导小鼠脑内NPY免疫反应活性在预适应形成的早期一过性地上升。

Effects of repeated hypoxia on the NPY-like immunoreactivity in the mouse brain

AIM:To observe the effects of repeated hypoxia on the neuropeptide Y(NPY)-like immunoreactivity in the mouse brain. METHODS:Forty male kunming mice were divided into 5 groups: Control, H₁(after the 1^sthypoxic run), H₂(the 2^nd hypoxic run), H₃(the 3^rdhypoxic run)and H₄(the 4^th hypoxic run). The hypoxic groups were subjected to different runs of hypoxia exposure. The NPY-like immunoreactivity in the moue brain was measured by using radioimmunoassary method.RESULTS: The standard tolerance time of the mouse exposed to hypoxia significantly increased following each increase in runs of hypoxia exposure. After the 1^st and 2^nd hypoxic run the NPY-like immunoreactivities in the mice brain significantly increased by 145.5%±3.2% and 147.3%±2.5% compared with the control(P＜0.01), respectively. However, the NPY-like immunoreactivites returned to the control levels after the 3^rd run. CONCLUSION:The repeated exposure to hypoxia can significantly enhance mouse's tolerance to hypoxia by preconditioning, and can induce the increase by only one exposure in NPY-like immunoreactivities of the mouse brain during the early period of formation of hypoxic preconditioning.
