摘要
In order to study the e of formaldehyde exposure on learning and memory ability of mice. We used Kun Ming (KM) mice to demonstrate the neurotoxic effects of FA, and Balb/c mice to explore the neurobiological mechanism. The Morris water maze (MWM) test showed that the exposure of gaseous formaldehyde could cause spatial learning and memory impairment in mice. H & E staining showed that in the 3.0 mg/m3 formaldehyde exposed group, the arrangement of pyramidal cells in CA1 area of mouse hippocampus was loose and disordered, the cell morphology was swollen and deformed, and the apical dendrites were shortened or even disappeared. Biochemical indicators revealed high doses of FA exposure could cause oxidative damage in brain. Compared with the control group, there were significant differences in the levels of ROS, MDA, GSH and 8-OHDG in the 3.0 mg/m3 group (P < 0.01), also the monoamine neurotransmitters content and the content of TNF-α, IL-1β and Caspase-3 (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the concentrations of cAMP, cGMP, NO and the activity of NOS in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and brain stem after high doses of FA exposure were significantly different from those in the control group, indicating that FA exposure could interfere with the transduction of NO/cGMP signaling pathway. The results showed that FA could induce cognitive deficits and this extended investigation found that the toxicity of FA to the mouse nervous system is related to the NO/cGMP and cAMP signaling pathways.
