摘要:

目的 探讨丘脑背内侧核(MD)损毁对帕金森病(PD)模型大鼠内侧前额叶皮层(mPFC)锥体神经元电活动的影响,阐明MD在PD病理生理过程中的作用。 方法 以6-羟基多巴胺(6-OHDA)脑内注射损毁黑质致密部(SNc)复制PD大鼠模型,在大鼠脑中注射鹅膏蕈氨酸(IBO)损毁MD。将24只雄性SD大鼠随机分为正常组、SNc损毁组(PD模型组)、MD损毁组(MD中注射IBO)和SNc+MD联合损毁组(SNc损毁后1周损毁同侧MD),每组6只。酪氨酸羟化酶免疫组织化学染色观察各组大鼠SNc和腹侧被盖区(VTA)中多巴胺神经元数量,尼氏染色判断电生理记录点的位置和MD损毁情况。观察各组大鼠mPFC中锥体神经元的放电频率、放电间隔(ISI)的变异系数和放电形式。 结果 注射6-OHDA后,PD模型组大鼠损毁侧SNc中多巴胺神经元完全消失,同侧VTA中多巴胺神经元数较对侧明显减少(P<0.01);与正常组比较,SNc损毁组大鼠mPFC锥体神经元的放电频率明显升高(P<0.05),放电形式趋于爆发式活动(P=0.001),平均ISI变异系数增加(P<0.01);MD损毁2周后,SNc损毁组大鼠mPFC锥体神经元的放电频率较正常组明显增加(P<0.01),爆发式放电增多(P<0.01),平均ISI的变异系数增加(P<0.01);与正常组比较,SNc+MD联合损毁组大鼠mPFC锥体神经元的放电频率差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),爆发式放电增多(P<0.01),平均ISI的变异系数增加(P<0.01)。 结论 MD对mPFC神经元的活动起重要的调节作用,MD的功能改变可能是PD病理生理过程中mPFC神经活动改变的重要原因之一。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of mediodorsal thalamic nucleus(MD) lesions on the electrical activity of the pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of the rats with Parkinson’s disease(PD), and to clarify the role of MD in the pathophysiological process of PD. Methods The rat model of PD was established by injecting 6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA) into the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) of the rats,and MD was damaged by intracerebral injection of ibotenic acid(IBO). A total of 24 male SD rats were divided into normal group, SNc lesion group (PD model group), MD lesion group (injected with IBO in MD), and SNc+MD combined lesion group (ipsilateral MD lesion 1 week after SNc lesion),and there were 6 rats in each group. The numbers of dopamine-positive neurons in SNc and ventral tegmental area(VTA) of the rats in various groups were detected by tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemical staining,and Nissl staining was used to determine the location of the electrophysiological recording points and extent of the MD lesion. The firing frequencies and coefficients of variation of average interspike interval(ISI),and discharge patterns of pyramidal neurons in mPFC of the rats in various groups were observed. Results After injection with 6-OHDA, the dopamine neurons in the damaged SNc of the rats in PD model was completely disappeared, and the number of dopaminergic neurons in ipsilateral VTA in the contralateral side was significantly decreased (P<0.01); compared with normal group, the firing frequency of mPFC pyramidal neurons of the rats in SNc lesion group was significantly increased (P<0.05), the firing pattern tended to bursting activity (P=0.001), and the coefficient of variation of average ISI was increased (P<0.01); two weeks after MD lesion, the firing frequency of mPFC pyramidal neurons of the rats in SNc lesion group was significantly higher than that in normal group (P<0.01), the bursting firing was increased (P<0.01), and the coefficient of variation of average ISI was increased (P<0.01);compared with normal group,the firing frequency of mPFC pyramidal neurons of the rats in SNc+MD combined lesion group had no significant difference(P>0.05),the bursting firing was increased (P<0.01), and the coefficient of variation of avarage ISI was increased (P<0.01). Conclusion MD plays an important role in regulating the activity of mPFC neurons, and the change of MD function may be one of the important reasons for the change of mPFC neural activity in the pathophysiological process of PD.
