Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Some HDAC inhibitors including Valproate and SAHA, and chlorpyrifos were observed to induce the alteration of Purkinje cell development and excess folding at V/VI lobule of cerebellum. Valproate and Chrolpyrifos are known as the inducer of autism. Also these chemicals increased in developing cerebellar cortex both Reelin expression which would relate to neuronal migration, and ATP release which would relate to synaptogenesis. The critical concentration and critical period of VPA administration was 300 mg/kg maternally and embryonic day 16, respectively. We developed newly high sensitive enzyme-linked photo assay system with 10 msec time resolution.
