Abstract:
:Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) constitute a prevalent, yet preventable, developmental disorder worldwide. While a wealth of research demonstrates that altered function of hippocampus (HPC) and prefrontal cortex may underlie behavioral impairments in FASD, only one published paper to date has examined the impact of developmental alcohol exposure (AE) on the region responsible for coordinated prefrontal-hippocampal activity: thalamic nucleus reuniens (Re). In the current study, we used a rodent model of human third trimester AE to examine both the acute and lasting impact of a single-day AE on Re. We administered 5.25 g/kg of ethanol to male and female Long Evans rat pups on postnatal day (PD) 7. We used unbiased stereological estimation to evaluate cell death or cell loss at three time points: 12 h after alcohol administration; 4 days after alcohol administration (i.e., PD11); in adulthood (i.e.,PD 72). AE on PD7 increased apoptotic cell death in Re on PD7, and caused short-term cell loss on PD11. This relationship between short-term cell death versus cell number suggests that alcohol-related cell loss is driven by induction of apoptosis. In adulthood, alcohol-exposed animals displayed permanent cell loss (mediating volume loss in the Re), which included a reduction in neuron number (relative to procedural controls). Both procedural controls and alcohol exposed animals displayed a deficit in non-neuronal cell number relative to typically-developing controls, suggesting that Re cell populations may be vulnerable to early life stress as well as AE in an insult- and cell type-dependent manner.
