Structure and dynamics of myelin sheath in the peripheral nerves of diabetic rats - an ESR study
The peripheral neuropathy associated with diabetes has characteristical histopathological findings of axonal degeneration, secondary myelin break down and atrophy. In the present study we examine structural integrity of myelin sheath in the peripheral nerves of short-term streptozotocin treated diabetic rats, using ESSR spectroscopy as a tool in determinig the dynamic state and the structure of mylein lipid phase. Experiments were performed on spin labeled sciatic and sural nerves from STZ-treated Hannover-Whitstar rats and age-matched controls. The spectrum analisys employed a numerical simulation model with the set of fitting parameters that in the same time relate the ESR line shape and the structure and dynamics of the pšrobed environment. The simulation considered threee spectral components weighted and summed in the composite spectrum. The comparative analisys of the results ahowed the fraction of the spectral component II to be significantlly increased in the spectra of diabetic rats, indicating the significant increase in overall fluidity of the myelin structure. The origin of fluidity changes was further investigated using: experimental model for demyelinzation (local injection of ethidium bromide in vivo), proteolitic action of tripsin in vitro, and osmotic myelin swelling in vitro. Analisys and comparison of the results suggested a conlusion in terms of pathologically changed biophysical properties of myelin lipid phase, that may represent the first step in development of diabetic neuropathy.
