概括
晚期孕期暴露于双氨酸 (BF) 会导致小鼠的暂时神经发育缺陷. 怀孕后期的窗口最容易受到影响,与神经元传播和炎症的改变有关.
科学领域:
- 环境毒理学环境毒理学
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 发育生物学是发展生物学.
背景情况:
- 已知围产期暴露于双氨酸 (BF) 会影响神经发育.
- 对于BF的神经毒性作用和潜在机制的关键发育窗口仍然不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定最容易受到BF诱导的神经发育变化的妊娠期.
- 研究在敏感的产前阶段与BF暴露相关的分子机制.
主要方法:
- 怀孕的小鼠在不同的妊娠期 (GD 0-5,6-15,16出生) 暴露于BF (0.5 mg/kg/d).
- 评估后代的神经行为缺陷,包括运动活动和学习/记忆.
- 分析了海马中的神经元损失和蛋白质/基因表达水平 (NMDA受体,炎症标志物).
主要成果:
- 在妊娠日 (GD) 16至出生 (B) 期间的暴露,在6周大时显著损害了后代的运动活动和学习/记忆.
- 这种晚期暴露还导致海马神经元损失,并改变了关键突触蛋白 (VGluT1,NR1,NR2A,NR2B,VGAT1) 和炎症基因 (Il-1β,Il-6,Tnf-α) 的表达.
- 在10周大的后代中没有观察到神经行为和病理缺陷,这表明依赖年龄的恢复.
结论:
- 怀孕后期 (GD 16-B) 是低剂量BF暴露的最脆弱时期,导致暂时的神经发育缺陷.
- 机制可能包括刺激/抑制平衡的破坏,NMDA受体功能的改变和神经炎症的增加.
- 这些发现突出了怀孕期间环境风险评估的关键窗口.

Teratogenicity
2.5K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Neurulation
42.1K
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the...
