目的 研究哺乳期多溴联苯醚-153(BDE-153)染毒对成年大鼠皮质细胞内钙离子浓度和钙激活相关酶水平的影响,为研究多溴联苯醚的神经发育毒性提供科学依据.方法 40只雄性新生乳鼠按体重和窝别随机分成1、5、10 mg/kg BDE-153组和橄榄油溶剂对照组,每组10只.在出生第10天,染毒组按0.1 ml/10 g体重一次腹腔注射染毒BDE-153,橄榄油溶剂对照组给予同剂量橄榄油.染毒后2个月时处死大鼠,冰皿上迅速分离大脑皮质,用流式细胞仪测定细胞内Ca2+浓度,用比色法测定钙调神经磷酸酶(CaN)、Ca2+,Mg2+-ATP酶活力,实时荧光定量PCR法和蛋白免疫印迹法(Western-blot)检测钙激活蛋白酶calpain-1和calpain-2的基因和蛋白表达.结果 对照组、1、5和10 mg/kg BDE-153组大鼠皮质细胞内Ca2+平均荧光强度分别为10.83、1.48、1.93和0.62,各染毒组细胞内Ca2+浓度均明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).各染毒组CaN酶活力、Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶活力、calpain-1基因和蛋白表达量与对照组的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).随着BDE-153染毒剂量的增加,BDE-15染毒组calpain-2蛋白的表达量逐渐升高,与对照组[基因:(0.81±0.26),蛋白:(0.15±0.07)]比较,5、10 mg/kg BDE-153组calpain-2的基因[5 mg/kg BDE-153组:1.16±0.52,10 mg/kg BDE-153组:1.32±0.23]及蛋白表达量[5 mg/kgBDE-153组:0.31±0.07,10 mg/kg BDE-153组:0.37±-0.06]明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);10 mg/kgBDE-153组calpain-2的蛋白表达量(0.37±0.06)明显高于1 mg/kg BDE-153组(0.22±0.07),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 Ca2+介导的calpain-2激活可能是BDE-153神经毒性的主要机制之一.
Objective To investigate the effects of polybrominated diphenyl ether-153 (BDE-153) exposure during lactation period on the calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration and calcium-activated enzyme levels in cerebral cortical cells among adult rats and to provide a scientific basis for the study on the developmental neurotoxicity of BDE-153.Methods Forty newborn male rats were randomly and equally divided into four groups according to their body weights and litters:1,5,and 10 mg/kg BDE-153 groups and olive oil solvent control group.On postnatal day 10 (PND 10),the BDE-153 groups were administrated BDE-153 (0.1 ml/10 g body weight) by intraperitoneal injection,while the olive oil solvent control group was given an equal volume of olive oil.Two months later,these rats were decapitated,and the cerebral cortex was separated quickly on an ice-cold dish.The Ca2+ concentration in cerebral cortical cells was measured by flow cytometry.The activities of calcineurin (CaN) and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP enzyme were deter
