In former studies, we observed that long-term potentiation in the biotin-deficient rat hippocampus was inhibited and the rats' maze-learning ability deteriorated. This study examined how biotin deficiency effects the rat hippocampus using Timm's staining and DNA microarray. Wistar rats were used in this study. They were fed biotin deficient diet. Experimental (BD) group was given a vehicle and control (BS) group was given biotin (200μg/ml/kg, i.p.) by daily. Four weeks later, the rats were euthanized and their hippocampuses were removed. Six hippocampuses from each group were embedded in paraffin and were stained with HE and Timm's method to measure the neuronal cell number and synapse density of the hippocampuses. The remaining two hippocampuses were used to examine gene expression using analysis of DNA microarray. In histological observation, the cells in the dentate gyros, CA1, and CA3 regions of the BD group were smaller than the BS group. The synapse density of ventral hippocampuses (caudal) of the BD group was significantly higher than the BS group. Also, expression of multiple intercellular signaling related genes, such as acetylcholinergic receptors, AMPA-type receptors, and nerve axon elongation related genes, was inhibited in the BD group. It is likely that biotin participates in maintaining brain functioning, especially in memory and learning functions., P(論文), 特集, application/pdf, FEATURE ARTICLES},
