Effects of endurance aerobic exercise on apoptosis in the hippocampus of the rat pups with maternal infection-induced cerebral palsy
ABSTRACT
In the present study, we investigated the effects of endurance aerobic exercise, swimming or treadmill running, on apoptosis in the hippocampus of the rat pups with maternal infection-induced cerebral palsy (CP). CP in the neonatal rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 0.15 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide to the pregnant rats at gestation day 15, 17, and 20. The neonatal rats were divided into four groups: the control group, the CP-induction group, the CP-induction and swimming group, and the CP-induction and treadmill running group (n = 5 in each group). After 12 weeks of birth, the rat pups in the swimming group and in the running group were made to perform each exercise for 30 min once a day for 5 times per week during 2 weeks. The rat pups with CP showed decreased expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, while increased expressions of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax, caspase-3, Fas, and cytochrom c(p<.05). Swimming or treadmill running, enhanced Bcl-2 protein expression, in contrast, suppressed Bax, caspase-3, Fas, and cytochrom c expressions in the hippocampus of the rat pups with cerebral palsy(p<.05). The present study revealed that endurance aerobic exercise is helpful intervention for the treatment of maternal infection-induced brain damage.
Key words: endurance aerobic exercise, cerebral palsy, apoptosis, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, Fas
