Abstract:
Objectives To explore the effect of application of uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-glucose) on self-repairment potentiality of immature white matter (WM) in vivo. Methods Five-day-old rats were randomly divided into sham, periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and UDP-glucose groups. The PVL model was constructed in the PVL and UDP groups, and UDP-glucose (2000mg/kg) was induced by an intraperitoneal injection at once to the rats of UDP group. PVL in-duced proliferation and differentiation of WM-glial progenitor cells invivo were detected by using the three-label lfuorescent immunoanalysis, the apopotosis in WM cell was observed by TUNEL test, and the pathology of WM and myelination were evaluated by light and electron microscopy at day 7 and day 21 after PVL model construction. Results The numbers of new WM-progenitors (NG2+), oligodendrocytes (OLs) progenitor marker (O4+), OL precursors, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CNPase+), immature OLs and myelin basic protein (MBP+), and mature OLs in the UDP-glucose group are signiifcantly grea-ter than those in the PVL group at each time interval after induction of PVL (P<0.05). The numbers of the apoptotic cells in UDP-glucose group are less than those in the PVL groups. Under light and electron microscopy, the white matter pathological changes and myelination were found to be better than those in the PVL group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of UDP-glucose can induce the WM-progenitors to activate, proliferate and differentiate into immature and mature OLs. UDP-glucose can also signiifcantly reduce the apoptotic rate of the WM-new glia cells;improve the white matter pathological changes and the myelin formation.
