[Dynamic visual analysis of neutrophils chemotaxis in peritoneal cavity of schizophrenic model in mice]

Abstract

Objective: To compare the differences of neutrophils chemotaxis ability in peritoneal cavity between normal rats and schizopherenic rats with cell dynamic visualization system.

Methods: In the study,18 healthy Kunming rats were randomly divided into 3 groups which were control group (n=6), 0.3 mg/kg MK-801 treatment group (n=6), 0.6 mg/kg dizocilpine maleate (MK-801) treatment group(n=6), extracted neutrophils separately, and observed the morphology and counted under a microscope. Each group of cells was divided into two parts for chemotactic experiment, called chemokine agent treatment group and no chemokine agent treatment group respectively, indicating control 1, 0.3 mg/kg MK-801 treatment 1,0.6 mg/kg MK-801 treatment 1 and control 2, 0.3 mg/kg MK-801 treatment 2,0.6 mg/kg MK-801 treatment 2. The dynamic migration of cells was recorded using the NIS-Elements software, and TAXIScan Analyzer 2 software was used to select 30 cells (n=30) in each group of cells and analyze cells migration trajectory, speed and distance, and use pair test and One-Way analysis of variance for statistical analysis.

Results: The number of neutrophils in control group, 0.3 mg/kg MK-801 treatment group and 0.6 mg/kg MK-801 treatment group were(1.00±0.03)×10⁴/mL,(0.05±0.02)×10⁴/mL,(0.32±0.01)×10⁴/mL respectively, the differences of results were statistically significant(P<0.05).Under the effect of chemotactic agent,the directional migration capability of neutrophils in control group 1, 0.3 mg/kg MK-801 treatment group 1 and 0.6 mg/kg MK-801 treatment group 1 were(0.85±0.11) radian,(1.00±0.11) radian,(0.96±0.10) radian respectively (P<0.05); the migration velocities of neutrophils were (0.09±0.02) μm/s,(0.12±0.01) μm/s,(0.14±0.01) μm/s respectively (P<0.05);the migration distances of neutrophils were (94.26±0.02) μm,(134.61±0.01) μm,(156.19±0.01) μm respectively(P<0.05).

Conclusion: Compared with neutrophils in peritoneal cavity of control group, the neutrophils in peritoneal cavity of schizophrenic rats have stronger chemotactic movement ability.
