    摘要:

    目的 随着我国载人航天工程进入中长期飞行阶段,航天员在长期太空驻留期间面临的失重环境已成为影响其认知功能的重要挑战。本研究旨在通过建立地面模拟航天失重模型,系统探讨失重环境对小鼠学习记忆能力的影响及其潜在的分子机制。方法 采用雄性ICR小鼠,通过30 °尾部悬吊法建立模拟航天失重模型,持续干预4周;通过Y迷宫、新物体识别、Morris水迷宫、跳台和穿梭实验等一系列行为学测试评估小鼠的学习记忆能力变化;通过ELISA法检测小鼠血清中H2O2、MDA的含量,并采用Western blot技术检测海马组织中氧化应激(Nrf2/HO-1通路)、炎症(IL-33、COX-2)、凋亡(Caspase-3、Caspase-8、Bcl2/Bax)及线粒体功能(mtTFA、P-mTOR/mTOR、SirT1、SirT3)相关蛋白的表达水平。结果 与空白对照组相比,模拟失重4周后小鼠在新物体识别实验中的辨别指数明显降低(P<0.05),水迷宫实验中的寻台潜伏期显著延长(P<0.01),跳台实验中的安全区时间极显著减少(P<0.001),穿梭实验中的主动穿梭次数显著减少(P<0.01,P<0.001,P<0.05);模拟失重小鼠脑组织中H2O2、MDA[基金项目:贵州省科学技术厅项目(黔科合基础-ZK2024一般375),国家自然科学基金项目(82260970) 作者简介:许燕飞(1997-),女,在读硕士研究生。研究方向:中药药理学。E-mail: 1535483621@qq.com。 *通信作者 姜宁(1989- ),女,博士,副研究员,研究方向:动物行为学和神经精神药理学。Email:jiangning0603@163.com。刘顶鼎(1986- ),女,医学博士,教授,博士生、硕士生导师,研究方向:中药民族药防治神经精神系统疾病研究,E-mail:249000559@qq.com。*共同通信作者。]含量均明显上升(P<0.05)。模拟失重小鼠海马组织氧化应激相关通路中Nrf2、HO-1蛋白相对表达量显著下调(P<0.001,P<0.05);炎症相关蛋白IL-33、COX-2相对表达量[]显著增加(P<0.05,P<0.001);促凋亡相关蛋白Bax、Caspase-3、Caspase-8相对表达量显著增加(P<0.01),抗凋亡蛋白Bcl2相对表达量显著降低(P<0.01);线粒体功能相关蛋白mtTFA、P-mTOR/mTOR、SirT1、SirT3相对表达量显著降低(P<0.001,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001)。结论 模拟航天失重环境可导致小鼠学习记忆能力显著下降,其机制可能与海马组织氧化应激增强、炎症反应激活、细胞凋亡增加以及线粒体功能紊乱等多重病理生理过程有关。本研究为深入理解航天失重环境下认知功能障碍的发病机制提供了实验依据,也为开发针对性的防护措施奠定了理论基础。

    Abstract:

    Objective: With China's manned spaceflight project entering the medium and long-term flight stage, the weightless environment faced by astronauts during their long-term stay in space has become an important challenge affecting their cognitive function. The purpose of this study is to systematically explore the influence of weightlessness environment on learning and memory ability of mice and its potential molecular mechanism by establishing a simulated space weightlessness model on the ground. Methods: Male ICR mice were used to establish a simulated space weightlessness model by 30 tail suspension method, and the intervention lasted for 4 weeks. The changes of learning and memory ability of mice were evaluated by a series of behavioral tests, such as Y maze, new object recognition, Morris water maze, platform jumping and shuttle experiment. The contents of H2O2 and MDA in SirT1 of mice were detected by ELISA, and the oxidative stress (Nrf2/HO-1 pathway), inflammation (IL-33, COX-2), apoptosis (Caspase-3, Caspase-8, bcl-2/bax) and mitochondrial function (mtTFA, P-mTOR/mTOR) in hippocampus were detected by Western blot. Results: Compared with the blank control group, after 4 weeks of simulated weightlessness, the discrimination index of mice in the new object recognition experiment was significantly reduced (P<0.05), the latency of seeking platform in the water maze experiment was significantly prolonged (P<0.05~0.001), the time of safe zone in the platform jumping experiment was significantly reduced (P<0.001), and the number of active shuttles in the shuttle experiment was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The contents of H2O2 and MDA in the brain tissue of simulated weightlessness mice increased significantly (P<0.05). The relative expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein in hippocampus of simulated weightlessness mice was significantly decreased (P < 0.05 ~ 0.001). The relative expression of inflammatory related proteins IL-33 and COX-2 increased significantly (P < 0.05-0.01). The relative expression of pro-apoptosis related proteins Bax, Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 increased significantly (P < 0.01). The relative expression of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl2-2 decreased significantly (P < 0.01). The relative expression levels of mitochondrial function-related proteins mtTFA, P-mTOR/mTOR, SirT1 and SirT3 decreased significantly (P<0.05~0.001). Conclusion: Simulated weightlessness in space can lead to a significant decline in learning and memory ability of mice, and its mechanism may be related to multiple pathophysiological processes such as increased oxidative stress, activation of inflammatory response, increased apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in hippocampus. This study provides an experimental basis for deeply understanding the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction in space weightlessness environment, and also lays a theoretical foundation for developing targeted protective measures.
