Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate mRNA expression of GABAa receptor(GABAaR) subunits in the rat cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) and explore the effect of sodium salicylate (SS) on the expression of GABAaR subunits.
METHOD:The realtime fluorescent quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) was used to detect mRNA expression of twelve GABAaR subunits in the newborn rat SGN and then investigate mRNA expression of GABAaR subunits after treatment with 5 mmol/L SS for 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 3 h and 6 h in the primary culture SGN.
RESULT:(1) GABAaR subunits of α1-6, β1-3, and γ1-3 were detected in the SGN, and the expression of GABAaR subunits was lower than those in the cerebral cortex. In the subunit α family of GABAaR, the expression rank was α2>α3/α5>α4>a1>α6, and the expression of α3 and α5 had no difference (P>0. 05). In the subunit β family, the expression rank was β3>β2>β1. In the subunit γ family, the expression rank was γ1>γ2>γ3. (2) The expression of all subunits of GABAa receptor was obviously fluctuated excepting subunit α5 after treatment with SS. At 15 min post-SS, α1, α2 , β1 and γ1-3 were upregulated, and α3 was downregulated; At 30 min post-SS, α3, β1 and β3 were upregulated, and γ1 was downregulated; At 1 h post-SS, β2 was upregulated and γ3 was downregulated; At 3 h post-SS, β1 and β2 were upregulated, and α3 and γ2 were downregulated; At 6 h post-SS, αl, α3 ,β2, β3 and γ1 were upregulated, and α2, α4 and β1 were downregulated.
CONCLUSION:The mRNA of GABAaR was expressed in the rat SGN, and the expression of GABAaR subunits was lower in SGN than the cerebral cortex. SS could alter the GABAaR expression quantity in rat SGN; Most of the subunits expression were elevated obviously in the early post SS (15 min), followed by a slight fluctuation.
