致痫后雌性大鼠血清及海马雌二醇和孕烯醇酮水平的动态变化

目的 观察致病后雌性大鼠血清及海马雌二醇(E2)和孕烯醇酮(PREG)水平的动态变化,研究海马E2水平与癫痫发作严重程度的关系. 方法 选择动情期雌性大鼠制备海人藻酸(KA)经杏仁核点燃的癫痫模型,观察大鼠癫痫发作的行为学表现.应用放射免疫法和酶联免疫吸附分析分别检测癫痫发作后0、1、2、3、4、5、6、12和24 h的大鼠以及经杏仁核注射生理盐水后相应时间的大鼠血清及海马组织E2和PREG水平.对检测结果进行统计学分析. 结果 杏仁核注入KA后5～10min大鼠均出现痫样发作,3 h达峰值,随后呈下降趋势.致痫后的大鼠血清E2水平无明显变化,但海马E2水平在癫痫发作后1 h开始上升,4 h达峰值,随后呈下降趋势,12 h恢复至对照水平,1～12 h相邻时间点E2水平差异均有统计学意义(P,0.05).此外,随着大鼠的癫痫发作程度的加重,海马E2水平逐渐升高,进行相关性检验后发现.海乌E2水平与癫痫发作严重程度呈正相关(R~2=0.646,P<0.05).致痫前及致痫后24 h内不同时间点各组大鼠海马的PREG水平没有明显变化. 结论 癫痫发作后大鼠海马E2水平的动态变化与癫痫发作程度相关.癫痫发作可以诱导大鼠海马局部E2的合成.

Dynamic changes of estradiol and pregnenolone levels in serum and hippocampus of female rats with epilepsy

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of estradiol(E2)and pregnenolone (PREG)levels in serum and hippocampus of female rats with epilepsy and explore the relationship between E2 level in the hippocampus and severity of seizure. Methods The seizure model was established by injecting kainite(KA)into the hippocampus of amygdala-kindled rats.The behaviors at the moment of epileptic seizure were observed and serum and hippocampus samples were collected at 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,12 and 24 h after seizure.Rats in the control group was injected the same volume of saline at the sanle time points.The levels of E2 and PREG in the Seizure and control groups were measured by radioimmunoassay and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,respectively.These results were statistically analyzed. Results Epileptic Seizure was showed after KA injection 5 to 10 min with the strongest seizure appearing at 3 h.The level of E2 was not significantly different in serum of the rats with epileptic seizure.While the level of E2 significantly changed in the hippocampal tissue after seizure:it elevated 1h after epileptic seizure,peaked at 4 h and returned to normal at 12 h;statistically significant differences of E2 level in the hippocampai tissue was showed among different time points(P<0.05).Besides,the E2 level in the hippocampus was increased gradually with the aggravation of the seizure(R~2=0.646,P<0.05).No significant differences were found in the PREG level of the hippocampal tissues between the rats treated with KA and the rats in the control group. Conclusion Epileptic seizure can induce local E2 synthesis in the rat hippocampus,thus,the E2 level in the hippocampus and severity of seizure is positively correlative.
