ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the effect of advanced maternal age (AMA) on the development of hippocampal neural stem cells in offspring rats.@*METHODS@#Ten 3-month-old and ten 12-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were housed individually with 3-month-old male rats (1:1, n=20), whose offspring rats were assigned to a control group and an AMA group. A total of 40 rats were randomly selected from each group. Immunofluorescence assay and Western blot were used to localize and determine the levels of protein expression of Nestin and doublecortin (DCX) on day 7 as well as neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) on day 28 (n=8 for each marker). Immunofluorescence assay was also used to localize the hippocampal expression of polysialylated isoforms of neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) on day 14 (n=8 for each marker).@*RESULTS@#According to the Western blot results, the AMA group had significantly lower protein expression of DCX than the control group (P0.05). According to the results of immunofluorescence assay, the AMA group had significantly lower protein expression of Nestin, DCX, and PSA-NCAM in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) region than the control group (P0.05). The AMA group had significantly higher expression of NeuN in the hippocampal CA1 region than the control group (P0.05). The AMA group had significantly lower expression of GFAP in the hippocampal CA1, CA3, and DG regions than the control group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#AMA may cause inhibition of proliferation, survival, and migration of hippocampal neural stem cells. AMA may also affect their differentiation into neurons and astrocytes, which will eventually lead to developmental disorders of hippocampal neural stem cells in offspring rats.
