Objective:To investigate the expression of N-myc downstream regulated gene 2(NDRG2) in hippocampus of epileptic mice and its effect on glutamate and glucose uptake in astrocytes of mice.Methods:The epileptic mouse model was induced by lithium chloride and pilocarpine nitrate. The mice were sacrificed at 1 d, 7 d, 15 d and 6 weeks after model establishment and the brain tissues of hippocampus were taken. Western blot was used to detect the expression of NDRG2 protein in hippocampus.The primary astrocytes of wild-type, NDRG2 + /+ and NDRG2 -/- mice were cultured and the NDRG2 phenotype of astrocytes was identified after primary culture. Glutamate content in the supernatant of astrocyte culture was determined by glutamate assay kit and ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Flow cytometry was used to detect the positive rate of 2-NBDG fluorescently labeled astrocytes. Results:(1) Compared with the control group (0.25±0.07), the expression of NDRG2 in the hippocampus of mice increased significantly in the acute phase of epilepsy (1 d(0.45±0.06, t=-3.84, P<0.05), 7 d(0.54±0.09, t=-4.30, P<0.05), 15 d(1.04±0.06, t=-15.08, P<0.01)), and remained significantly high in the chronic phase of epilepsy( 6 weeks (1.30±0.16, t=-10.40, P<0.01)). (2) The content of residual glutamate in the supernatant fluid of primary cell culture medium was detected.It was found that the uptake of glutamate by astrocytes in the NDRG2 -/- group was significantly lower than that in the NDRG2 + /+ group ((689.03±101.78) μmol/L, (113.67±37.35) μmol/L; t=9.19, P<0.01). (3) Western blot results showed that the expression of EAAT1 protein in NDRG2 -/- primary astrocyte was significantly lower than that of NDRG2 + /+ primary astrocyte(0.34±0.03, 1.16±0.21), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-6.59, P<0.01). (4) Flow cytometry results showed that the positive rate of astrocyte in NDRG2 -/- group cells was significantly lower than that in NDRG2 + /+ group cells ((17.60±5.72)%, (72.22±8.35)%), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-13.22, P<0.01). Conclusion:NDGR2 is closely related to the occurrence and development of epileptic diseases. The expression of NDRG2 is beneficial to exert its physiological function of EAAT1 and promotes the uptake of glutamate and glucose by astrocyte. It may be a potential cell protective factor to promote nerve protection and repairment.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the in vivo metabolism and distribution characteristics of nano-cerium oxide( nanoCeO_2) in rats,and to explore the radio-protective effect of nano-CeO_2. METHODS: i) A total of 18 specific pathogen free( SPF) SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. Rats of experiment group and CeO_2 blood group were gavaged with1. 0 g/kg body weight( bw) nano-CeO_2 suspension. Rats of control group were gavaged with double distilled water( DDW)in equal volume. At different time-points after treatment,venous blood was collected from the rats' eye socket in CeO_2 blood group,meanwhile urine and excrement of rats of experiment group were also collected. Organ and tissue samples of experiment group and control group were collected 24. 0 hours after treatment. The concentrations of cerium in biological samples were detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. ii) A total of 72 SPF BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 6 groups. Mice of low-,medium-and high-dose groups were gavaged with 100,300 and 900 mg/kg bw nano-CeO_2 suspension respectively. Mice of negative control group,irradiation control group and drug positive control group were gavaged with DDW in equal volume once daily. After 14 days,mice of the other 5 groups were exposed by60Coγ-rays once with 3. 5 Gy( 1 Gy/min) except the negative control group. Mice of drug positive control group were given intraperitoneal injection with 200 mg/kg bw amifostine half an hour before irradiation. After exposure,mice were treated by the above gavages once daily. After 3 and 8 days,6 mice were randomly selected to collect the peripheral blood for the count of white blood cell( WBC) and lymph cell measuring. RESULTS: i) The cerium concentration in blood reached peak value in 4. 0 hours after exposure of nano-CeO_2,and the cerium concentration of urine and excrement reached maximum in8. 0 hours after exposure. After 24. 0 hours of exposure,the cerium concentration of brain in experiment group was higher than that of control group( P < 0. 05). Among the experiment group,the cerium concentrations of sternum,duodenum and brain were higher than that of kidney and heart( P < 0. 05),meanwhile the cerium concentrations of thymus and lung were higher than that of kidney( P < 0. 05). ii) There was no statistical difference in interactive effect of WBC count and lymph cell counts between nano-CeO_2 exposure ways and time( P > 0. 05). The WBC counts of the low-and medium-dose groups were lower than those of the negative control group and the drug positive control group( P < 0. 05). The WBC count of high-dose group was lower than those of irradiation control group,drug positive control group and medium-dose group( P <0. 05). The lymph cell counts of the 3 dose groups were lower than that of drug positive control group( P < 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The nano-CeO_2 is mainly cumulated in organs such as sternum,duodenum,brain,thymus and lung. After induced by radiation,nano-CeO_2 has a certain degree of promotion role in increasing the WBC counts.
