Abstract

Introduction: Vitamin D, the main function of which is thought to be the maintenance of calcium and phosphate homeostasis and bone structure, has been shown in recent studies to have important roles in brain development as well. A certain vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene haplotype was reported, for the first time by our group, to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Our studies also showed that vitamin D prevents beta amyloid-induced calcium elevation and toxicity that target nerve growth factor (NGF) release in cortical neurons; beta amyloid suppresses VDR expression and the disruption of vitamin D-VDR pathway mimics beta amyloid-induced neurodegeneration. In this study, our aim was to investigate the effects of vitamin D on the NGF release from hippocampal neurons. Met­hod: Primary hippocampal neuron cultures that were prepared from 18-day-old Sprague-Dawley rat embryos were treated with vitamin D for 48 hours. The alteration in the NGF release was determined with ELISA. Cytotoxicity tests were also performed for all groups. Re­sults: The NGF release in vitamin D-treated group was significantly higher than in untreated control group. The protective effect of vitamin D against cytotoxicity was also observed. Conc­lu­si­on: Our results indicated that vitamin D regulates the release of NGF, a very important molecule for neuronal survival of hippocampal neurons as well as cortical neurons.

Özet

Giriş: Yapılan son çalışmalar, uzun yıllardır esas fonksiyonunun kalsiyum ve fosfat dengesini düzenlemek ve kemik yapısını korumak olduğu düşünülen vitamin D’nin, beyinde de önemli rollerinin olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışmalarımızda kortikal nöronlarda vitamin D’nin, beta amiloid ile indüklenen ve kalsiyum artışı ile sinir büyüme faktörü (NGF) üretimini hedef alan toksisiteyi ortadan kaldırmada etkili olduğu; beta amiloidin vitamin D reseptörü anlatımını engellediği ve vitamin D-VDR yolağının bloke edilmesinin nörodejenerasyon benzeri değişikliklere sebep olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca vitamin D reseptörüne (VDR) ait belirli bir haplotipin Alzheimer Hastalığı riskini arttırdığı ilk kez grubumuz tarafından bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada kortikal nöronların NGF salınımını düzenleyen vitamin D’nin hippokampal nöronlarda da NGF salınımı üzerine etkisinin olup olmadığını saptamayı amaçladık. Yön­tem­: Sprague Dawley cinsi sıçanların 18 günlük embriyolarından alınan hippokampus bölgelerinden hazırlanan primer hippokampal nöron kültürlerine, 48 saat süresince vitamin D uygulandı. NGF salınımındaki değişimler, ELISA yöntemi ile belirlendi. Tüm gruplara, sitotoksisite testi uygulandı. Bul­gu­lar: Vitamin D uygulanan primer hippokampal nöronların NGF miktarlarının hiçbir uygulama yapılmayan kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede arttığı saptandı. Ayrıca vitamin D’nin nöronları sitotoksisiteye karşı koruduğu belirlendi. So­nuç: Sonuçlarımız kortikal nöronlarda olduğu gibi Alzheimer hastalığında büyük önem taşıyan hippokampal nöronlarda da vitamin D’nin nöron sağ kalımı için önemli bir molekül olan NGF salınımını etkilediğini göstermektedir.
