Abstract: Objective To explore how and where ski expresses under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats' astrocytes. Methods Astrocytes were obtained from cerebral cortex of a newborn (within 3 days) Sprague-Dawley rat and cultured in vitro. Astrocytes were cultured with LPS in concentration of 0μg/ml, 0.001μg/ml, 0.01μg/ml, 0.1μg/ml, 1μg/ml, 10μg/ml and 100μg/ml for six hours;and cultured with LPS in concentration of 0.1μg/ml for 0 day, 2 days, 4 days, 6 days and 8 days. The level of ski was determined with Western blotting, and the lo-cation of ski was detected with indirect immunofluorescent staining. Results The expression of ski was induced by LPS, especially in the concentration of 0.1μg/ml. The expression of ski induced with 0.1μg/ml LPS peaked at 4 days of inducement and then decreased. Ski was mainly observed in nuclear in the normal astrocytes and the astrocytes induced with 0.1μg/ml LPS for 6 days. However, it was observed in cytoplasm 2 and 4 days of inducement. Conclusion LPS could induce the expression of ski in rats' astrocytes, which may participate in in-flammation.
