Inducible cyclooxygenase (COX-2) was transiently induced in the neurons throughout the entire hippocampus between 6 and 24 h after injection of kainic acid (KA). The induction of COX-2 correlated more closely with the induction of c-Jun than with that of c-Fos. Phosphorylated c-Jun was induced 6-12 h after in the CA3 pyramidal neurons, which undergo apoptosis. Almost all of neurons with phosphorylated c-Jun were colocalized with COX-2. These results suggest that COX-2 and c-Jun phosphorylation may participate in KA-induced neurodegeneration.
在注射海藻酸(KA)后6至24小时内,整个海马体中的神经元短暂诱导出诱导型环氧化酶(COX-2)。COX-2的诱导与c-Jun的诱导相关性比与c-Fos的诱导更密切。磷酸化的c-Jun在经历凋亡的CA3锥体神经元中于6至12小时后被诱导。几乎所有磷酸化c-Jun的神经元都与COX-2共定位。这些结果表明,COX-2和c-Jun磷酸化可能参与KA诱导的神经退行性变。
