Abstract:
Aim To establish primary cultured rat hip-pocampal neuron damage model induced by aluminum maltolate and study the effect of intervention for DP2 on primary cultured rat hippocampal neuron treated with aluminum overload. Methods The hippocampus was dissected out from fetal rat ( embryonic 18 d ) . After being cultured for 7 d, the hippocampal neuron was treated with Al( malt) 3 to establish the model of prima-ry cultured rat hippocampal neuron damage and mean-while treated with DP2 agonist DK-PGD2 and DP2 an-tagonist CAY10471, respectively. After treatment for 24 h, the cell viability was measured by MTT and LDH, Ca2+ fluorescence intensity. Neuronal pathomor-phology was observed by HE staining. Results The purity of hippocampal neuron was more than 95%. Compared with the control group, the number of hipp-ocampal neurons was reduced and neurons became chromatic agglutination and karyopyknosis in aluminum overload group. Treatment of aluminum caused a sig-nificant decrease in MTT value ( P<0. 01 ) and an in-crease in the LDH leakage rate (P<0. 01). The Ca2+fluorescence intensity significantly increased ( P <0. 01 ) in aluminum overload group. Compared with that of the aluminum overload group, treatment of DK-PGD2 , a selective DP2 agonist, significantly aggravated the primary cultured rat hippocampal neuron injury caused by aluminum overload accompanied with the significant decrease of MTT value ( P <0. 01 , P <0. 05 ) and an increase of the LDH leakage rate ( P<0. 01), significant increase of Ca2+ fluorescence inten-sity of neuron. Treatment of CAY10471, a selective DP2 antagonist, had opposite effects of DK-PGD2 . Conclusion The activation of DP2 can increase hipp-ocampal neural susceptibility to aluminum overload.
