摘要目的 探讨姜黄素对α-氨基-3-羧基-5-甲基异恶唑-4-丙酸(AMPA)/海人酸(KA)受体介导大鼠海马神经元钙内流的影响.方法 选用胚胎17dSD鼠分离海马,离体培养海马神经元,借助活体钙荧光染色和激光共聚焦钙成像技术观察100μmol/LKA刺激海马神经元内钙的变化,不同浓度(5、10、15、30、50 μmol/L)姜黄素预孵育海马神经元30min对100μmol/L KA刺激下细胞内钙变化的影响,15 μmol/L姜黄素对不同浓度(10、30、50、100、200、300 μmol/L)KA刺激海马神经元内钙变化的影响.应用钴染色技术观察(30、100 μmol/L KA)刺激后海马神经元钴阳性染色细胞变化.姜黄素预孵育30min对KA刺激导致钴阳性染色细胞变化的影响.结果 不同浓度姜黄素预孵育30 min均可以明显缓解100 μmol/L或30 μmol/L KA导致的细胞内钙升高程度.差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05),其中15 μmol/L姜黄素作用最为明显.30μmol/L或100 μmol/LKA刺激均可以引起海马神经元钴染色阳性细胞增加,15 μmol/L姜黄素预处理30 min后明显减少钴染色阳性细胞,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),而其他浓度(5 μmol/L或30 μmol/L)姜黄素未见明显影响.结论 一定浓度的姜黄素可以影响AMPA/KA受体介导大鼠海马神经元钙内流.这可能是姜黄素抗癫痫作用的一个机制.

abstractsObjective To investigate the effect of curcumin on alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and kainate (KA) receptor-mediated calcium influx in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. Methods The hippocampal neurons from SD rat embryos (17 days old) were cultured for 9 days, and fluorescent calcium chelator and confocal microscopy calcium imaging were used to observe the changes in intracellular free calcium in the neurons following stimulation with 100 μmol/L KA. The effect of curcumin pretreatment at different concentrations (10, 30, 50, 100, 200 and 300 μmol/L) for 30 min on 100 μmol/L KA-induced intracellular calcium changes in the neurons were evaluated, and the effect of 15 μmol/L curcumin on intracellular calcium in the neurons stimulated with 10, 30, 50, 100, 200 and 300 μmol/L KA were also assessed. Cobalt staining was used to examine the expression of calcium permeable AMPA/KA channel in the hippocampal neurons treated with 30 and 100 μmol/L KA. Results Curcumin pretreatment at different concentrations for 30 min significantly relieved the elevation of flee calcium concentration induced by 100 or 30 μmol/L KA (P<0.05), and the effect was especially obvious with 15 μmol/L KA curcumin. Both 30 and 100 μmol/L KA increased the ratio of cobalt staining-positive hippocampal neurons, and curcumin pretreatment at 15 μmol/L, but not at 5 or 30 μmol/L, significantly reduced the ratio of the positive neurons (P<0.05). Conclusion Curcumin at appropriate concentrations can modulate calcium influx mediated by AMPA and KA in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, which might be one of the anti-epileptic mechanisms of curcumin
