A study was conducted to evaluate the three-dimensional clinostat simulated microgravity effect on mouse models, focusing on the central nervous system. Eighteen mice were divided into three groups: control, survival box, and clinostat + survival box. Behavioral tests, femur micro-CT, brain transcriptomics, serum metabolomics, and fecal microbiomics were performed. Results showed decreased activity, altered gait, enhanced fear memory, bone loss, immune/endocrine changes in brain transcriptome, and altered metabolic pathways in serum and gut microbiota in clinostat-treated mice. The model closely mimics spaceflight-induced transcriptome changes, suggesting its value in studying microgravity-related neurological alterations and highlighting the need for attention to emotional changes in space.
进行了一项研究,以评估三维回转器模拟微重力对小鼠模型的影响,重点关注中枢神经系统。18只小鼠被分为三组:对照组、生存箱组和回转器+生存箱组。进行了行为测试、股骨微型计算机断层扫描、脑转录组学、血清代谢组学和粪便微生物组学研究。结果显示,经回转器处理的小鼠活动减少、步态改变、恐惧记忆增强、骨质流失、脑转录组中的免疫/内分泌变化以及血清和肠道微生物群中的代谢途径改变。该模型紧密模拟了太空飞行引起的转录组变化,表明其在研究微重力相关神经学改变方面的价值,并强调了关注太空情绪变化的必要性。
