摘要: 海马是执行大脑认知、记忆等高级神经活动的重要区域,其结构与功能的改变与多种行为学异常和神经精神疾病的发生密切相关。海马的发育受到基因与环境的共同影响,其中胚胎期各种母体和外界环境因素引起的宫内环境变化均可对胎儿及出生后新生儿的海马组织结构与功能产生不可忽视的作用,其分子机制包括影响脑源性神经营养因子(brain-derived neurotrophic factor,BDNF)、糖皮质激素受体(glucocorticoid receptor,GR)、胰岛素样生长因子1(insulin-like growth factor 1,IGF-1)、IGF-2等与海马代谢和神经发育相关基因的表达水平和信号转导的改变等。现主要从产前应激(prenatal stress, PS)、母体慢性疾病和子宫胎盘功能不全等各种孕期宫内环境改变对胎儿神经系统,尤其是对海马结构和功能的影响及分子机制进行综述。

Abstract: Hippocampus is a remarkable brain structure playing important roles in advanced neuronal activities including cognitive function and memory, of which the structural and functional alterations are closely associated with behavioral abnormalities, neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. Hippocampal development is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, among which changes of the intrauterine environment from the maternal and external factors exert huge influences on the structure and function of both fetal and infant hippocampus. The molecular mechanisms include variations in the expression levels of genes associated with hippocampal metabolism and neurogenesis such as BDNF, GR, IGF-1 and IGF-2, as well as alterations of signaling transduction in the hippocampus. This review attempts to summarize the changes of structure and function as well as the molecular mechanisms in fetal nervous system, especially in the hippocampus induced by the alterations of intrauterine environment such as prenatal stress, maternal chronic diseases and uteroplacental insufficiency during pregnancy.
