摘要
Abstract
Objective: To identify whether anti-apoptosis effect participate in the neuroprotection of testosterone. Methods: The hippocampal neurons of rats were primary cultured for 10 days, and then divided into a control group, H2O2 group and testosterone preconditioned followed by expose to H2 O2. The morphology of neurons were observed using fluorescence mi croscopy, and Bcl-2 and Bax expression in cultured hippocampal neurons were detected by Western blotting. Results: The apoptotic cells were found in H2O2 (100 μm) group exhibited as semilunar or broken nucleus with deep dyeing, and the processes were not clear. And, cultured neurons preconditioned with testosterone were shown with clear nucleus and nuclear fragments were hardly observed. Compared with the control neurons that shown the weak expression of Bcl-2 and Bax, H2 O2 led to a significant up-regulation in the expression of Bax and down-regulation in Bcl- 2 expression. The testosterone precondition statistically suppressed the overexpressed Bax and significantly recovered the down-regulation in Bcl-2 expression caused by H2O2. Conclusion:These findings suggest that neuroprotection of testosterone partially attribute to its capa bility to protect the free radical injured neurons against apoptosis.关键词
