Streszczenia
Astrocytes play a crucial role in maintaining neuronal microenvironment homeostasis and regulating synaptic plasticity within the hippocampus. Magnoflorine (MGN), a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has demonstrated biological activity in the central nervous system. However, its effects on astroglial cells remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of acute and chronic administration of MGN (10 and 20 mg/kg body weight) on the morphology and morphometric parameters of GFAP-positive astrocytes in the CA1 field of the mouse hippocampus. Immunohistochemical and morphometric analyses were performed in the oriens layer (SO), pyramidal layer (SP), radiate layer (SR), and lacunose-molecular layer (SLM). MGN significantly modulated astrocyte density, cell size, and the number of processes in a dose-, time-, and layer-dependent manner. A heterogeneous and layer-specific astroglial response was particularly evident following chronic administration of the tested compound. Together with the observed lack of significant differences in analysed parameters, decreases were mainly detected after administration of the low MGN dose, whereas the 20 mg/kg dose induced primarily increased structural complexity. Thus, the direction of changes was not uniform across all layers. The most prominent changes were detected in the SLM layer. Overall, MGN modulated astrocyte morphology and reactivity in a context-dependent manner. These findings indicate a modulatory influence of MGN on astroglial structural plasticity rather than a uniform directional effect. Although the observed changes may be associated with alterations in astroglia-mediated mechanisms involved in maintaining neuronal homeostasis and responses to stress, their functional significance requires further investigation.
