摘要: 【摘要】目的 探讨甲低大鼠妊娠不同时间补充不同剂量甲状腺素(L-T4)对子代大鼠脑组织中同源盒基因 Nkx6.2 mRNA表达的影响。方法 120只雌性Wistar大鼠分为对照组,甲低组,甲低孕鼠妊娠早期(1~17 d)补充L-T4 高、中、低剂量组,甲低孕鼠妊娠晚期(18~20 d)补充L-T4高、中、低剂量组,每组15只,与正常雄性大鼠交配后分别取孕17 d、新生期、20 d龄仔鼠脑组织,采用实时荧光定量PCR法检测脑Nkx6.2 mRNA表达。结果 甲低组与对照组对应日龄仔鼠脑Nkx6.2 mRNA表达差异有统计学意义(均P < 0.01);除甲低孕早期中、高剂量组与对照组对应日龄仔鼠的差异及甲低孕晚期高剂量组新生期仔鼠与同日龄对照组的差异无统计学意义外(均P > 0.05),其他补充L-T4组与对照组同日龄仔鼠的差异均有统计学意义(均P < 0.01)。结论 甲低孕鼠子代大鼠脑组织同源盒基因Nkx6.2 mRNA 的表达受补充甲状腺素剂量及时间影响。

Abstract:

[Abstract] Objective  To explore the effects of thyroid hormone and complement of levothyroxine (L-thyroxine, L-T4) to pregnant mother on the expression of homeobox gene Nkx6.2 mRNA in rat offspring. Methods  One hundred and twenty Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, hypothyroidism group, hypothyroidism in early pregnancy group (1-17 d) supplied with high dosage, medium dosage and low dosage L-T4 and hypothyroidism in late pregnancy group (18-20 d) supplied with high dosage, medium dosage and low dosage L-T4 (15 rats for each groups). The brain tissues of offspring were taken at gestation day17, postnatal day 0 and postnatal day 20, and the content of Nkx6.2 mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR techniques. Results  There was significant difference in Nkx-6.2 expression level between hypothyroidism group and normal control group (P < 0.01). There were significant differences in Nkx-6.2 expression levels between groups with supplement of high dosage, medium dosage and low dosage L-T4 and control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion  The expression of Nkx6.2 mRNA is highly related to the supplemental thyroxine dosage and time impact in hypothyrodism preganant rats.
