摘要
Immobilization of rats is a well known model of emotional stress. We studied apoptosis in rat thymocytes during immobilization for 2-8 hours (h). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells increased with time of immobilization. The positive cells increased significantly after 2 h and comprised about 33% of total cells after 8 h. The apoptotic cells aggregated as scattered foci predominantly in the cortex of the thymus and diffusely distributed with time of the stress. The DNA laddering also increased with time of immobilization, which was inhibited by a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, RU-486. These results suggest that the emotional stress evoked by immobilization induces thymocyte apoptosis through glucocorticoid overflow. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
