摘要

To examine whether hypomyelination in neonatal rats might be related to apoptosis of oligodendrocyte progenitors, we administered dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg SO to neonatal rats on postnatal (P) days 1 through 5. Immunofluorescent staining and Western blotting for myelin basic protein (MBP) were performed on P14. Morphologic changes associated with apoptotic death of oligodendrocyte progenitors were assessed by using immunofluorescent staining on P5 of surface markers present at different developmentalstages of oligodendrocyte progenitors (04 and Ol) and by double-staining with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated digoxigenin-dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) and 04 or Ol. Administration of dexamethasone to neonatal rats reduced the expressionof MBP in the white matter by P14. In addition, dexamethasone reduced the expression of 04-positive cells, presumably preoligodendrocytes, in the corpus callosum and induced degenerative changes, such as cytoplasmic condensation and fragmented, tortuousprocesses, in oligodendrocyte progenitors, and increased the number of TUNEL-positive pyknotic nuclei of oligodendrocyte progenitors. These findings suggest that the dexamethasone-induced decreased expression of MBP in the cerebral hemispheres of the neonatal rats is due to apoptotic degeneration of oligodendrocyte progenitors. Administration of dexamethasone during the critical period of brain development may increase the risk of apoptosis in oligodendrocyte progenitors, subsequently resulting in hypomyelination.
