CUMS抑郁模型大鼠脑组织DA、5-HT及其代谢产物的浓度变化

摘要

Objective We explored the related neurobiochemistry pathomechanism by the comparison of concentration of dopamine(DA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and their metabolites in brain tissue in the Chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS)depression model rats. Methods 24 male Spragur-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: control group, model group and fluoxetine group. CUMS with solitary condition was taken to manufacture depression rat model. After separated the brains tissues of CUMS depression rats, the levels of DA, 5-HT and their metabolites of the tissue homogenate from the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus were examined with Coularray Electrochemic detection for high performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC) technique. Results Compared to contronl group, the levels of DA, homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-HT and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the mPFC of depression model rats have significantly decreased(P<0.01 or 0.05), and the levels of DA, HVA and 5-HT in hippocampus have significantly decreased (P<0.01 or 0.05); Compared to model group, the levels of DA, HVA and 5 -HT in the mPFC of fluoxetine group rats have significantly increased (P<0.01 or 0.05), and the levels of DA, 5 -HT and 5 -HIAA in hippocampus have significantly increased (P <0.05). Conclusion The activity of DA and 5 -HT systems in the mPFC and hippocampus were decreased in CUMS depression model rats.%目的:通过分析抑郁模型大鼠脑组织DA、5-HT及其代谢产物的浓度变化,探讨抑郁症发病的神经生化机制.方法:将24只雄性SD大鼠随机分成对照组、模型组和氟西汀组3组；采用慢性轻度不可预见性应激(CUMS)结合孤养建立抑郁大鼠模型,随后取脑并分离内侧前额皮质(mPFC)和海马,采用库仑阵列电化学高效液相色谱法测定上述脑区DA、5-HT及其代谢产物的浓度.结果:与对照组比较,模型组大鼠mPFC区DA、高香草酸(HVA)、5-HT及5-羟吲哚乙酸(5-HIAA)浓度均显著降低(P＜0.01或0.05),海马DA、HVA和5-HT浓度显著降低(P＜0.01或0.05)；与模型组比较,氟西汀组大鼠mPFC区DA、HVA和5-HT浓度显著升高(P＜0.01或0.05)；海马DA、5-HT和5-HIAA浓度显著升高(P＜0.05).结论:CUMS抑郁模型大鼠mPFC和海马组织存在DA和5-HT递质系统功能紊乱.
