OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether antenatal taurine supplementation improves neural stem cell proliferation in rats with fetal growth restriction (FGR) through regulating the activity of Rho family factors.
METHODS: FGR models were established via food restriction throughout pregnancy. Pregnant rats were randomly divided into the control group, the FGR group (given 40% of the normal daily feeding in the control group), and the Taurine group (FGR model treated with 300 mg/kg·d taurine from gestational day seven). Expression of fatty acid binding protein-7 (FABP-7), Rho-associated coiled coil-forming protein kinase (ROCK2), Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA), and rac in the brains of newborn rats was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Western blotting (WB).
RESULTS: Relative FABP7 mRNA levels, the optical density (OD) values of FABP7-positive cells and the expression levels of the tested proteins all demonstrated that the number of neural stem cells (NSCs) in brain tissue was lower in the FGR group than in the control group but was significantly increased after antenatal taurine supplementation (p < .05). Compared with the control group, the mRNA and protein levels of RhoA and ROCK2 were higher in the FGR group but lower in the Taurine group (p < .05). In contrast, the rac mRNA level was lower in the FGR group than in the control group but was higher in the Taurine group (p < .05).
CONCLUSIONS: Taurine prenatal supplementation improved neural stem cell proliferation in rats with FGR by inhibiting the activity of Rho family factors.
