Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) after transplanted into vitreous and the effects on the regeneration of retina ganglion cells (RGCs) after optic nerve microcrushed.METHODS: After optic nerve microcrushed in adult rat,2×104/2 μL NSCs or 2 μL 0.1 mol/L PBS was injected into vitreous.Animals were divided into control group (MC group,MC+PBS group) and experiment group (MC+NSCs).Animals in each group were allowed to survive for 3,4,5 weeks,respectively.The regenerating RGCs were labeled retrogradely with granular blue,and the numbers of regenerating RGCs in each retina were observed under fluorescent microscope.In addition after 5 animals in MC+NSCs group survived for 4 weeks,rat eyeballs were removed and prepared as freezing microtome sections for observing the migration of NSCs and NF,GFAP,CNP immumodetection.RESULTS: Compared the mean numbers of regenerating RGCs between experiment group and control group at 3,4,5 weeks,the difference was significant (P<0.01).NSCs expressed NF,GFAP and CNP at 4 weeks and were not found to incorporate into retina.CONCLUSION: It suggests that NSCs enhance the RGCs regeneration after ON microcrushed and differentiate into neurons,astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. |
