Abstract Objective: To investigate the relationship between changes of mitochondrial biogenesis and learning and memory impairment in rats after acute or chronic exposure to hypoxia-hypercapnia. Methods: Forty eight SD male rats were randomly divided into three groups by the random number tables method as follows: the normal control group, the acute hypoxia-hypercapnia group, the chronic hypoxia-hypercapnia group. The cognitive ability was assessed by the Morris water maze. The mitochondrial structure was observed by the electron-microscopy. The protein expression of PGC-1α, NRF-1, TFAM were measured by the western blot. The copy number of mtDNA was detected by Real-Time PCR. Results: After exposure, the acute group performed almost similar to the normal control group in exploring the hidden platform. While the chronic group displayed worse performance during navigation test (P<0.05). In the probe trial on the last day, the acute group showed no difference with the normal control group, the crossing number of the chronic group was decreased (P<0.05). The electron-microscopy showed the mitochondrial structure of the acute group showed no obvious damage. The mitochondrial membrane of the chronic group was edema and obscure, partially destroyed, and the cristae was loosen and disorganized, partially disappeared. Western blot showed the protein expression of PGC-1α (P<0.01), NRF-1 (P<0.05), TFAM (P<0.05) were significantly increased in the acute group, but all markedly decreased in the chronic group. Real time PCR showed acute exposure induced an increase of the mtDNA copy number (P<0.01), while the expression in the chronic group significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion: The downregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis may contribute to the cognitive function defects of long-term hypoxia-hypercapnia exposure rats.
