摘要
前言
甲基汞(methylmercury)是一种具有神经毒性的环境污染物,可通过食物链产生生物放大作用。对人类造成危害,损害的主要部位是大脑的枕叶(距状区视觉中枢)和小脑,对成人可导致记忆丧失,对儿童、婴幼儿可造成语言和记忆能力短缺等。目前,氯化甲基汞中毒致神经损伤机制多是对即早基因、肽类和单胺类神经递质进行研究。谷氨酸(glutamate,Glu)是哺乳动物脑内最重要的兴奋性氨基酸,有研究提出氯化甲基汞中毒可能与脑内谷氨酸代谢和传递异常有关,但其机制上不明确。虽然神经细胞内有谷氨酰胺合成酶(glutamine synthesis, GS)可将谷氨酸转变成谷氨酰胺(glutamine,Gln),但星形胶质细胞的高亲和力谷氨酸转运体对谷氨酸的再摄取、维持谷氨酸代谢平衡起到至关重要的作用,星形胶质细胞膜上主要表达2种高亲和性Glu转运体——GLAST(glutamate aspartate transporter, EAAT 1)和GLT—1(glutamate transporter 1, EAAT 2),二者均能逆浓度梯度将Glu从胞外转运至胞内,从而及时终止突触部位Glu的兴奋性传导并维持其胞外的稳态水平。神经胶质细胞生成的Gln,通过细胞间隙运送到神经元内,经磷酸活化谷氨酰胺酶(phosphate activated glutaminase,PAG)水解生成Glu。因此氯化甲基汞中毒引起的神经毒性很可能通过影响谷氨酸转运体、谷氨酰胺合成酶及经磷酸活化谷氨酰胺酶活性有关。同时,有研究表明,过量Glu可诱导的神经元Ca2+内流,而Ca2+超载可刺激星形胶质细胞中产生活力氧,因此氯化甲基汞神经毒性导致谷氨酸代谢异常和氧化损伤可能会有一定的关系。
右美沙芬是一种NMDA受体非竞争性拮抗剂,有研究表明其可阻断谷氨酸过量对NMDA受体的活化,抑制了钙离子内流。利鲁唑是一种钠离子通道抑制剂,又是谷氨酸释放抑制剂,有研究表明,利鲁唑的作用机制可能与促进谷氨酸摄取,增强其与谷氨酸转运体结合的作用有关。但是,目前应用右美沙芬和利鲁唑干预氯化甲基汞所致神经损伤的研究,鲜有报道。
本研究拟通过体内与体外实验相结合的方法,首先,研究右美沙芬和利鲁唑对氯化甲基汞致大鼠大脑皮质神经毒性及氧化损伤的影响,再研究利鲁唑对氯化甲基汞致星形胶质细胞谷氨酸代谢和转运障碍的影响。

Introduction
Methylmercury(MMC)is a kind of neurotoxicity of environmental pollutants. It can be harmful to human through the food chain by biomagnification.The main part of where it damages are occipital lobethe brain's(calcarine visual hub area) and the cerebellum. It causes the adult memory loss as well as the children a shortage of language and memory abilities.At present, the studies on the mechanisms of methylmercury neurotoxicity were mostly used to be on the immediate-early genes,peptides and monoaminergic transmitters. Glutamate is the most important excitatory amino acid in mammalian brains.Some studies showed that there were some relationships between methylmercury chloride and the disfuction of glutamate metablism and transporters. However, the mechansims about it are still unknown.Although there is no glutamate metablism-related enzyme in synaptic cleft, glutamate is converted to glutamine by glutamine synthesis.The high-affinity glutamate transporters in astrocytes play a crucial role in the re-uptake of glutamate and maintaining the balance of glutamate metabolism. Therefore, the neurotoxicity caused methylmercury is likely to effect the function of the transporters as well as the content and activity of glutamine synthetase.in the meantime, some studies have shown that excessive glutamate can induce Ca2+influx and Ca2+overload can stimulate the astrocytes to bring more active oxygen. Thus, there is some relationship between glutamate metabolism and oxidative damage which result from methylmercury.
Dextromethorphan is an antagonist of non-competitive NMDA receptor.It showed that dextromethorphan can prohibited the NMDA receptors from excessive activation by glutamate and inhibit calcium influx Riluzole is a sodium ion channel inhibitors and the inhibitor of glutamate release.The mechanisms of riluzole may be related to the promotion of glutamate uptake and the enhance of its integration with the glutamate transporters. However,the applications of dextromethorphan and riluzole to resist the nerve damage caused by methylmercury chloride have been reported rarely.
The in vivo and in vitro experiments were used to determine the effects of dextromethorphan and riluzole respectively on the methylmercury chloride-induced neurotoxicity of cerebral cortex and the disturption of astrocytic glutamate metablism and transporters after methylmercury chloride exposure.
Materials and Methods
1. In vivo animal experiments
The weight of 40 wistar rats from the Experimental Animal Center of China Medical University is 180±10 g.The number of female and male is the same.They were fed under the temperature of 17-23℃, relative humidity 45-55%.Before the experiment,they were fed one week and then were divided into 5 groups by weight at random, 8 animals for each group. The first group was the control group and the second and third groups were methyl-mercuric chloride (MMC) groups. The fourth and fifth groups were DM and riluzolegroup respectively.All the former three groups were subcutaneously (sc) injected with 0.9% NaCl.The fourth and fifth groups were sc injected with 13.5μmol/kg DM and 21.35μmol/kg respectively every other day. Two hours later, the animals in the control group were intraperitoneally(ip) given the injection of 0.9%NaCl, the second group was injected with 4.0μmol/kg MMC and from the third to the fifth groups were injected with 12.0μmol/kg MMC. The administration of MMC above was given five times a week, lasting 4 weeks as well as the administrati-on of DM and riluzole every other day before injected with MMC.24 hours after the last injection, 8 rats in each group sacrificed after paralyzed.Observe the contenrs of Hg, glutamate, glutamine and Malondialdehyde(MDA) as well as the activities of glutamine synthetase(GS), phosphate activated glutaminase(PAG), Superoxide Dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in the rat cortex when they were injected the increasi-ng MMC dosage, DM and riluzole.
2. In vitro primary astrocytes
Primary cultured astrocytes isolated and cultured from cerebral cortex of newborn (1 day old) Sprague-Dawlery rats.The cells would be used after more than 95% of the cells stained positively for the astrocytic marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunocytochemically.Cellular proliferation activity was detected by MTT method. we studied the cytotoxicity of methylmercury chloride to astrocytes and the effects of riluzole on disfunction of glutamate metabolism and transporters.And we chose the proper dosages and time during the experiments.The damage of fibroblasts was observed with inverted phase contrast microscope.This research made use of the RT-PCR to analyze the expression of GS, GLT-1, EAAC1 mRNA and the Western blotting to analyze the expression of GS,GLT-1, EAAC1 protein.The changes of intensity of mRNAs and proteins were normalized using the intensity obtained in the internal control bands(G3PDH andβ-actin respectively).
3. Statistical analysis
Mean and standard deviation were calculated for all measurements. All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software, version 11.5. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by the Students-Newman-Keuls, SNK. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05.
Results
1. In vivo animal experiments
Compared with the control group, in MMC group, the contents of Hg, Glu and MDA increased. The content of Gln was decreased. Moreover, the activities of GS and SOD,GSH-Px of the rat cortex were decreased. On the contrary,the activity of PAG increased. Compared with 12.0μmol/kg MMC group, in riluzole group, the contents of Hg,Glu,and MDA fell down.The content of Gln rose. Moreover, the activities of GS and SOD,GSH-Px of the rat cortex.
2. In vitro primary astrocytes
Compared with the control group, the level of the damage of the morphology of astrocyte and the destruction of membranous integrity are deteriorating with the increaing doses of methylmercury chloride (0-40μM,4-24h).There was no significant difference of GSmRNA and protein expression among the methylmercury chloride (0-20μM) treated group. Nevertheless, the EAAT1 and GLT-1 mRNA and protein expression of the methylmercury chloride (0-20μM) decreased.Observe the effects of riluzole (50-200μM) pretreatment 4 to 24 hours after destruction of astrocytes caused by 20μM methylmercury chloride exposure in cell morphology. Compare with the chloride methylmercury (0-20μM) treated group, riluzole group GLAST, and GLT-1 mRNA and protein expression increased which was treated with the chloride methylmercury (0-20μM).
Conclusions
1.The rat model of MMC was perfectly established by intraperitoneally injection by methylmercury chloride.The research showed that MMC could be conveyed through 'blood-brain barrier', disturb the 'glutamate-glutamine cycle' and indued oxidative damage.
2.By animal experiments,it was showed that dromethorphan and riluzole may have the certain antagonistic effect on exitotoxicity and oxidative damage of MMC.
3.By primary astrocytes cultures, we found that MMC could cause cytotoxicity,and induced the disorders of glutamate metabolism and transporters.
4.Riluzole may have the certain antagonistic effect on glutamate metabolism and transporters of astrocytes by methylmercury chloride exposure.
