Acta Anatomica Sinica 2002;0(06):-
Objective To investigate the interrelation between microtubule associated protein 5 and lysosome in cultured spinal neurons. Methods Neuron culture, immunofluorescence cytochemistry, laser confocal scanning microscope were used. Results In cultured spinal neurons, both of MAP5 and calthepsin D were distributed in cytoplasm and processes. In merged pictures, the distribution of MAP5 and calthepsin D was almost similar. When nocodazole was employed, the distribution of MAP5 and calthepsin D changed simultaneously. Both fluorescence distributed in cytoplasm was uneven and the process was shorter. When PMA was employed, the distribution of red and green fluorescence became reticulum and spread toward membrane. The soma enlarged and the process displayed certain direction accompanying adjacent processes interlinked.Conclusion In cultured spinal neurons, the distributions of MAP5 and lysosomes were almost similar. Both were in cytoplasm and process. Nocodazole and PMA caused reverse change for the distribution of MAP5 and lysosomes. The distribution of MAP5 and calthepsin D treatel with Nocodazole was unregulated, while PMA was regulated and loose. These results suggested that MAP5 and lysosomes were interrelated between structure and function. Both of them were depended on the integrity of microtubule.

ObjectiveTo observe the changes of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) and c-fos in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and PTSD model group. The model group rats were exposed to the single-prolonged stress (SPS) to set up the rat PTSD model. The expression of pERK1/2 was detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, and the expression of c-fos mRNA was detected using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The result of immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the number of pERK1/2-positive cells of control group and model group were 10.4±2.07 and 48.8±10.08 respectively (P<0.01), and integral optical density were 24.955±3.691 and 110.810±10.643 respectively (P<0.01). And Western blotting showed that relative expression quantities of pERK/β-actin were 0.510±0.052 and 1.109±0.106 respectively (P<0.01). The quantities of c-fos mRNA relative expression of control group and model group were 0.267±0.067 and 1.049±0.131 (P<0.01). Conlusion The levels of pERK1/2 and c-fos increase significantly in mPFC of PTSD model rats. The ERK signal transduction pathway in mPFC might play an important role in the pathogenesis of PTSD.
