In the present study, we examined the effects of repeated ischemia (10 min x 2, 1 hr interval) on spatial memory in rats in an 8-arm radial maze test compared with single ischemia (10 min x 1). Repeated ischemia produced more severe impairment of spatial memory and stronger TUNEL-positive immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 region than single ischemia at 7 days after reperfusion. Moreover, repeated ischemia altered bcl-family expression, which is related to apoptosis, while this was not affected by single ischemia. These results suggest that spatial memory impairment at 7 days after repeated ischemia may be related to apoptosis in hippocampal CA1 cells.
在本研究中,我们在八臂放射状迷宫试验中检测了重复缺血(10分钟×2次,间隔1小时)与单次缺血(10分钟×1次)相比对大鼠空间记忆的影响。与再灌注后7天的单次缺血相比,重复缺血导致更严重的空间记忆损害以及海马CA1区更强的TUNEL阳性免疫反应性。此外,重复缺血改变了与细胞凋亡相关的bcl家族表达,而单次缺血对此没有影响。这些结果表明,重复缺血后7天的空间记忆损害可能与海马CA1区细胞的凋亡有关。
