Abstract

【Objective】 To investigate the time dependent manner of glutamate concentration in brain tissues of rodent model in different postnatal days and its intervention study. 【Methods】 Total 128 neonatal SD rats were divided into 4 groups according to postnatal days(P)∶P2, P6, P12, P18(n=32). Each group were randomly divided into 4 groups: hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) group(H), α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate(AMPA) group(A), GYKI52466 group(G) and normal control group(N) (n=8). Standard HIBD models were set up according to Rice methods on rats of H, A, G groups. Rats of the A and G groups were injected drugs immediately after modeling. Brain tissue of all groups was collected to detect the glutamate concentration and observe the pathological changes. 【Results】 The results showed that there was a negative correlation between glutamate concentrations and postnatal ages (r=0.81, P<0.01). The glutamate concentration in brain tissues of P2 group was the maximum and was dramatically higher than those of P6 group, P12 group and P18 group, respectively[(670.2±139.4) μmol/gprot vs(576±139 )μmol/gprot,(670.2±139.4) μmol/gprot vs(441.9±114.9) μmol/gprot and(670.2±139.4) μmol/gprot vs(287.0±82.8) μmol/gprot, q=3.88,9.41,15.80,P<0.05 or 0.01]. The glutamate concentration in brain tissues of G group was the minimum and there were significant differences compared with those of A, H and N groups[(348.6±128.5) μmol/gprot vs(608.6±176.7) μmol/gprot, (348.6±128.5) μmol/gprot vs(554.2±206.2) μmol/gprot, (348.6±128.5) μmol/gprot vs(463.8±167.1) μmol/gprot, q=10.72,8.49,4.75,P<0.01]. Pathological changes were consistent with the changes of glutamate concentration in each group. 【Conclusions】 Glutamate concentration shows time dependent in brain tissue of different postnatal days represent to different developmental level of neonatal brain. There is a negative correlation between glutamate concentrations and postnatal days. Glutamate concentrations increase in HIBD cases and decrease with treatment of GYKI52466. Neuroprotective effect of GYKI52466 is more obvious in relative early stage of gestational age. Early intervention with GYKI52466 is expected to prevent and cure neonatal brain damage resulted from premature birth or asphyxia.
