摘要
Cultured brain slices are treated with a free radical generator, in the presence of a lysosomal enzyme inhibitor (specifically an inhibitor of two cathepsins). The treated brain slices rapidly develop autofluorescent lipofuscin granules—a universal feature of brain aging. Other correlates of the aged brain are also induced by this treatment, thereby providing an in vitro model for (1) the study of brain aging; (2) assessment of anti-brain aging drugs; and (3) therapeutics directed at the clinical condition referred to as neuronal ceroidlipofuscinosis.
