Abstract

Objective To study the animal model of neural tube defects (NTDs) induced by cyclophosphamide (CD) in mice, and to explore the protective effects of taurine and its mechanism, and provide a theoretical basis on the prevention of human NTDs. Methods NTDs model was set up in mouse embryo by CP.The mouse embryonic neural tube development situation and the abnormal situation in each group was analysised and compared.Immunohistochemistry and image analysis technology were used to detected the expression of Cx26 and Cx43 protein in each group of mouse embryonic neural tube epithelial cells.Its relationship was analyzed with NTDs happening. Results 1)The best dose was 15 mg/kg body weight to establish the model of NTDs in mice with CP.Taurine could effectively reducing the occurrence of NTDs.2)Cx26 and Cx43 proteins were localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm in nerve cells.The expressions of Cx26 and Cx43 proteins in CP group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05).The expressions of Cx26 and Cx43 proteins in middle and high dosage taurine group were decreased significantly (P＜0.05). Conclusions Excessive expressions of Cx26 and Cx43 might be one of the important causes of NTDs with cyclophosphamide.Taurine can antagone the toxicity of cyclophosphamide and protect nerve cells, witch may reduce the occurrence of NTDs.
