目的探讨白质/髓鞘损伤在N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(N-methyl-D aspartate,NMDA)受体阻断致精神分裂症(schizophrenia,SZ)中的作用。方法雄性C57 BL/6J小鼠(8周龄)48只,随机分为地卓西平马来酸盐(dizocilpine,MK-801)慢性给药M1组(0.25mg/kg)、M2组(0.50mg/kg)和M3组(1.00mg/kg)及对照组(生理盐水)。以Morris水迷宫、探孔和转棒测试检验小鼠行为学改变,运用免疫组化、透射电镜及体视学方法观察其胼胝体内髓鞘的改变。结果各模型组小鼠与对照组比较,空间学习记忆能力无明显下降(均P0.05),M1和M3组小鼠较对照组表现出对新环境探索减少的SZ阴性症状;大脑胼胝体区MBP染色M1组(179±10)%、M2组(235±7)%、M3组(152±9)%小鼠较对照组(288±18)%均降低(均P0.01),其内有髓神经纤维髓鞘出现板层分离、节段性脱髓鞘等病变,M3组小鼠胼胝体内损伤有髓神经纤维比例高于对照组[(22.42±4.24)%vs.(3.84±1.35)%],差异有统计学意义(P0.01)。结论胼胝体脱髓鞘改变可能是MK-801慢性给药诱导SZ的病因之一。

Objective To explore the role of white matter injuries in the schizophrenia induced by the NMDA re-ceptor antagonist. Methods Adult male C57BL/6J mice (8 week old) were equally divided into four groups. One group was sub-chronically treated with saline solution, and the other three groups were intraperitoneally treated with MK-801 at dose of 0.025 mg/mL (M1), 0.050 mg/mL (M2) and 0.100 mg/mL (M3) in a volume 10 ml per kilogram body weight. All ani-mals were tested using Morris water maze at the 9th-15th day and using the Hole Board exploration as well as Rota Rod performance tests on the 16th day. The myelin basic protein (MBP) and the ultrastructure of the myelin sheaths in the cor-pus callosum were then examined using immunohistochemical methods, transmission electron microscope technique and stereological methods. Results The repeated sub-chronic MK-801 treatment did not induce impairment of spatial learning and memory in Morris water maze. The MK-801 treatment at 0.25 mg/kg and 1.0
