Abstract:Objective To explore the expression of serine palmitate transferase long chain subunit 2 (SPTLC2) in brain tissue in the rat model of Parkinson disease. Methods Parkinson rat model was prepared by injecting 6-hydroxy dopamine, and the rats were divided into three groups, 2-week model group, 4-week model group, 8-week model group, and normal group. Behaviors of rats in each group were assessed by using abnormal involuntary movement (AIM) scoring method. Rotation duration, starting time, the cycle number of agent peak were recorded meanwhile. HE staining method was used to observe the changes of brain tissue in rats, and the expression of α synuclein in rat brain tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry, and SPTLC2 and mRNA expression in brain tissue of rats was detected by using RT-PCR, and SPTLC2 protein expression in rat brain tissue was detected by Western blot. Results AIM score, rotation duration, starting time, agent peak rotation number in model group was higher than those in the normal group, and with the extension of time, AIM score, rotating start time, agent peak rotation number gradually increased, while the rotation starting time gradually decreased, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed that the number of positive cells in the normal group was less than that in the normal group, and the number of positive cells in the model group increased significantly. The number of positive cells increased gradually with the extension of time. Compared with those in the normal group and 2-week model group, SPTLC2 gene and protein expression in 4-week and 8-week model group increased, and compared with 4-week model group, SPTLC2 gene and protein expression in 8-week model group increased, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion SPTLC2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease, via up-regulating SPTLC2 gene and protein expression.
