Abstract

Objective To get a message of the expression about stromal cell-derived factor-1α(SDF-1α)in the Malformations of cortical development(MCD)in rats model and investigate the effects in forming abnormal neural circuit in the MCD. Methods Sprague-Dawley pregnant rats exposed to X-irradiation on embryonic 16(E16)days can induce MCD in the offspring. We observed the histological changes of the brain with HE staining and Timm staining,and the expression of SDF-1α with immunohistochemistry,RT-PCR and Western-Blot in the pups at postnatal 30 days(P30)and postnatal 60 days(P60). Results ①Timm staining demonstrated mossy fiber sprouting was formed in the MCD model;②Immunohistochemical results showed that expression of SDF-1α appeared in the CA1 ectopic neurons of hippocampus;③From the results of RT-PCR and Western-Blot,we got a reduced expression of SDF-1α at P30 and P60 in the model group contrast to control group at the same period.    Conclusion    the downregulation of SDF-1α may play a role in forming abnormal neural circuit in hippocampus of MCD.
