谷氨酸致原代培养皮层神经元损伤中自噬的激活
Autophagy is activated during glutamic acid-induced cortical neuron injury
摘要
Abstract
AIM : To investigate whether autophagy is activated during glutamic acid - induced neuron injury and the possible neuroprotective effect of 3 - methyl adenine( 3 - MA ) ( an autophagy inhibitor ).METHODS : Glutamic acid or 3 - MA was added to the medium of cultured cortical neurons.Cell viability was measured by MTT assay.The formation of autophagosome was observed under transmission electron microscope.The marker protein light chain 3( LC3 ) for autophagy was detected by immunofluorescence assay and visualized under laser confocal microscope.RESULTS : The cell viability declined during glutamic acid treatment and the autophagosomes were increased.LC3 , the marker protein of autophagy, also significantly increased.The autophagy level was lowered by 3 - MA, and cell viability was increased.CONCLUSION : The results suggest that autophagy is activated during glutamic acid treatment and inhibition of autophagy may have neuroprotective effect.The autophagy inhibitor 3 - MA may be a potential neuroprotective agent.关键词
