目的 探讨青春期前期和青春期早期雌性小鼠海马齿状回颗粒细胞γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)受体电流的变化。 方法 以雌性小鼠为研究对象,3~4周龄小鼠为青春期前期组(n=6),5~6周龄小鼠为青春期早期组(n=6)。采用全细胞膜片钳技术,记录青春期前后海马颗粒细胞GABA受体自发抑制性突触后电流(sIPSC)、微小抑制性突触后电流(mIPSC)和tonic电流,并分析其变化。 结果 青春期前期组和青春期早期组小鼠sIPSC的发放频率分别为(2.22±0.12)、(2.30±0.21)Hz,幅值分别为(19.97±2.01)、(23.80±2.86)pA,两组小鼠sIPSC发放频率和幅值比较差异均没有统计学意义(均P>0.05);青春期前期组和青春期早期组小鼠sIPSC发放频率和幅值的累积概率比较差异均无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。青春期前期组和青春期早期组小鼠mIPSC的发放频率分别为(0.87±0.08)、(2.15±0.21)Hz,幅值分别为(12.51±0.11)、(29.67±0.19)pA,较青春期前期相比,青春期早期小鼠海马颗粒细胞GABA受体mIPSC发放频率升高(P<0.001),幅值增大(P<0.001)。青春期前期组和青春期早期组小鼠sIPSC发放频率和幅值的累积概率比较差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.001)。青春期前期组和青春期早期组小鼠GABA受体tonic电流分别为(17.40±1.64)、(24.70±2.81)pA,两组小鼠GABA受体tonic电流比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。 结论 青春期早期雌性小鼠颗粒细胞GABA受体电流较青春期前期有所增强,雌性小鼠进入青春期早期时海马颗粒细胞抑制性活动增强。 Objective To investigate the changes in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor currents of hippocampal dentate gyrus granule cells in prepubertal and early pubertal female mice. Methods Female mice were selected as the study objects 3 to 4 -week-old mice were selected as the pre-puberty group (n=6) and 5 to 6 -week-old mice were selected as the puberty group (n=6). The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the spontaneous inhibitory post-synaptic current (sIPSC), mini-inhibitory post-synaptic current (mIPSC), and tonic current of hippocampal granulosa cells in the DG region of pre-pubertal and early pubertal female mice, and their changes were analyzed. Results The frequency of sIPSC in the pre-puberty group and puberty group was (2.22 ± 0.12) Hz and (2.30 ± 0.21) Hz, respectively. The amplitude of sIPSC in the pre-puberty group and the puberty group was (19.97 ± 2.01) pA and (23.80 ± 2.86) pA, respectively. The experimental results showed no significant changes in frequency and amplitude of sIPSC of hippocampal granulosa cells in pre-pubertal and early pubertal mice (all P > 0.05), and no statistical significance in the cumulative frequency and amplitude of sIPSC between two groups (all P > 0.05). The frequency of mIPSC in the pre-puberty group and the puberty group was (0.87 ± 0.08) Hz and (2.15 ± 0.21) Hz, respectively. The amplitude of mIPSC in the pre-puberty group and puberty group was (12.51 ± 0.11) pA and (29.67 ± 0.19) pA, respectively. Compared with the pre-pubertal mice, the frequency and amplitude of mIPSC from hippocampal granulosa cells in early pubertal mice are significantly increased ( P < 0.001). There was also a significant difference in the cumulative frequency and amplitude of sIPSC between the two groups ( P < 0.001). The tonic current of the pre-puberty group and puberty group was (17.40 ± 1.64) pA and (24.70 ± 2.81) pA, respectively, and the tonic current in early pubertal mice was significantly higher than that in pre-pubertal mice ( P < 0.05). Conclusions GABA receptor current is enhanced in early pubertal female mice compared with pre-pubertal females. The inhibitory activity of hippocampal granulosa cells in early adolescent female mice was increased.
