摘要
背景:研究认为Rho激酶可致使神经生长锥塌陷,对神经修复具有抑制作用。目的:观察Rho激酶抑制剂法舒地尔及RNA干预介导的RhoA基因沉默对脊髓损伤大鼠在体神经损伤修复的作用。方法:雄性SD大鼠60只半切法制成脊髓半横断模型,随机等分成对照组、法舒地尔组和RhoA siRNA组。法舒地尔组于腹腔注射10mg/kg法舒地尔,2次/d,连续用药1周;RhoA siRNA干扰组将RhoA siRNA表达质粒注射于大鼠脊髓损伤区。结果与结论:伤后4周,法舒地尔和RhoA siRNA组大鼠后肢运动功能均有明显恢复,可见少量神经轴索样结构,辣根过氧化物酶阳性神经纤维数增多(P<0.05),体感诱发电位的潜伏期明显缩短、波幅显著增强(P<0.05)。提示大鼠脊髓损伤后给予Rho激酶抑制剂法舒地尔及RNA介导的RhoA基因沉默能够促进受损伤的脊髓神经功能恢复。
BACKGROUND:Several studies have demonstrated that Rho kinase can lead to collapse of nerve growth cone and exhibits an inhibitory effect on nerve repair.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Rho kinase inhibitor Fasudil and RNAi-mediated RhoA gene silencing on nerve repair in a rat model of spinal cord injury.METHODS:Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were prepared into spinal cord hemisection and then were randomly divided into control,Fasudil and RhoA siRNA groups.The Fasudil group rats were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg/kg Fasudil,twice a day,for successive 1 week.The RhoA siRNA group rats were injected with RhoA siRNA expression plasmid into spinal cord injury area.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 4 weeks after injection,the hind limb motor function of the Fasudil and RhoA siRNA group rats was obviously recovered,neuronal axon-like structure was observed,horseradish peroxidase-positive nerve fibers were increased(P 0.05),somatosensory evoked potential latency was obviously shortened,and amplitude was significantly increased(P 0.05).These results showed that after spinal cord injury,Rho kinase inhibitor Fasudil and RNAi-mediated RhoA gene silencing can promote the neurofunctional recovery of injured spinal cord.
