Abstract:
Objective To study the influences of hepatolobectomy on space learning capability and the expressions of Drebrin and PSD95 in the hippocampus in APP/PS1 transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.Methods A total of fifty-four 3-month-old APP/PS1 transgenic mouse were randomly divided into 3 groups:3-month-old control group,sham surgery group,hepatolobectomy group,3-month-old littermates control group and 6-month-old control group.Morris water maze test was used to observe space learning capability on the 1st,3rd,7th,14th day after surgery,meanwhile the expressions of Drebrin and PSD95 in hippocampus were measured by Western blotting.Results Compared with the sham surgery group,the results of the Morris water maze test were decreased in hepatolobectomy group at day 3,7,14 after surgery [(62.9±6.9) s vs.(35.7±12.2) s,(66.3± 9.5) s vs.(39.3±8.3) s,(67.1±7.5) s vs.(32.6±14.1) s],and 6-month-old control group [(75.9±12.1) s] (all P＜0.05).The escape latency were (62.9±6.9)s,(66.3±9.5)s,(67.1± 7.5)s and (75.9±12.1)s,the probe trials were (2.1±0.7) times,(1.83±1.5) times,(2.5±1.9) times and (1.8±0.8) times respectively in hepatolobectomy group at day 3,7,14 after surgery and 6-month old control group.No significant differences in the results of the Morris water maze test were found among 3-month-old control group,3-month-old littermates control group,and sham surgery group.Compared with 3-month-old control group and sham surgery group atday 1,3,7,14 after surgery the expressions of Drebrin were decreased in 6-month-old control group and the hepatolobectomy group at the same time points.Meanwhile,the expression of Drebrin in hepatolobectomy group was increasedat day 14 versus day 7 after surgery.Compared with 3 month-old control group,the expression of Drebrin was increased at day 7 after sham surgery.Compared with 3-month-old control group and sham surgery group at day 3,7 and 14,the expressions of PSD95 were decreased in hepatolobectomy group at the same time points.Compared with 3-month-old control group,the expression of PSD95 was increased in sham surgery group at 7th day (P＜0.05).Between 3 month-old control group and 3-month-old littermates control group,the expressions of Drebrin and PSD95 had no significant differences.Concltsions Hepatolobectomy can impair the capabilities of space learning and memory in 3-month-old APP/PS1 transgenic mice,which may be associated with the decreased expressions of Drebrin and PSD95 in hippocampus.
