Abstract:
Objective To investigate the toxic effects of ozone on rat astrocytes in vitro. Methods Twelve 1-2 day old Wistar rats were anesthetized with ether. Their brains were removed. Astrecytes were enzymatically isolated with trypsin and cultured. After different-speed cultivation and serial passage, astrocytes were seeded into 24 well plates and divided into 4 groups (n = 7 each): group Ⅰ normal control (group C) and group Ⅱ , Ⅲ , Ⅳ (group O2-O340, 60, 80) were exposed to ozone 40, 60 and 80 μg/ml respectively. After 2 and 4 h incubation, the astroeytes were examined under microscope. Supernatant was collected and cells were broken for determination of SOD activity and MDA content in the cells and LDH leaking ratio. Results Cells in group O2-O3 60 and 80 exhibited hypertrophy, vacuoles and black denatured grains in the cytoplasm and increase in proceses. SOD activity and MDA content were significantly increased at the end of 2 h incubation in group O2-O340, 60 and 80 as compared with blank control group. LDH leaking ratio and MDA content were increased in a concentration dependent manner at the end of 2 h and 4 h incubation, while SOD activity was decreased concentration dependently at the end of 4 h incubation. SOD activity was signifieandy decreased, while LDH leaking ratio was increased at 4 h as compared with that at 2 h in group O2-O360 and 80. Conclusion Ozone has toxic effects on cultured rat astroeytns in a concentration and time dependent manner.
