Abstract: Objective To study the relationship between expression of p75 gene and apoptosis of cerebrum cells in type 2 diabetic rats.Methods Ten type 2 diabetic rats and ten natural rats were used to test the expression of brain p75 mRNA by RT-PCR technique, and the apoptosis of cerebrum cells was measured by agarose gel electrophoresis (AGA).Results The expression of brain p75 mRNA and apoptosis of cerebrum cells in type 2 diabetic rats were higher than that of the natural group.Conclusion The apoptosis of cerebrum cells in type 2 diabetic rats increases, and it is positively correlated with the expression of brain p75 gene mRNA.

Key words: type 2 diabetic rat, p75 gene, apoptosis
