RESUMEN
ABSTRACT:Objective To explore the role of PTEN in the suppression of neural stem cells so as to clarify whether neural stem cell proliferation can be promoted by regulating the PI3K-Akt/PTEN expression level. Methods We removed the hippocampus from neonatal 24 h Kunming mice,isolated and cultured the generation of neural stem cells,which were then identified by immunofluorescence test.We randomly grouped the cultured neural stem cells into normal group,ischemia model group,hypoxia group (hypoxia + ischemia model group),Lip2000 group (hypoxia+ ischemia model group + Lip2000 null transfection group,PTEN transfection group (hypoxia +ischemia model group+Ad5-PTEN transfection group),and PTEN interference group (hypoxia+ ischemia model group+Lip2000+PTENsiRNA interference group).We detected the proliferation of neural stem cells in the groups at different time points,and PTEN protein expression of neural stem cells in each group after PTEN transfection, and the effect on iconic protein on Akt-PI3K signaling pathway.Results (1 )Nestin identification of the neural stem cells was tested by immunofluorescence.We observed green bright and typical cell spheroids under fluorescence microscope;the clear structure could be seen within spheroids.(2)We determined the proliferation of neural stem cells at different time points by MTT.After 36 h of culture,the neural stem cells had obvious proliferation in the hypoxia group and Lip2000 group compared with the model group, the PTEN transfection group and PTEN interference group (P 0.05);(4)After PTEN plasmid transfection,there were no apparent changes in the total Akt and bad in the groups,but compared with the normal group,PI3K,p-Akt,and p-bad expressions in model group and PTEN gene transfection group reduced (P <0.05),with the more obvious changes in the PTEN transfection group.PI3K,p-Akt,and p-bad expressions in the hypoxia group, Lip2000 group and PTEN interference group increased (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Hypoxia contributes to promoting the proliferation of neural stem cells,and the inhibition of PTEN on PI3K/Akt might be the key factor for blocked proliferation of adult neural stem cells.

@#Objective To observe the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on magnetic resonance spectroscopy of vascular dementia (VD) rats.Methods After the VD model was reproduced, the 12 rats were randomly divided into the therapy group and dementia group with 6 animals in each group. Another 6 rats were selected as sham operation group. The VD rats in therapy group were treated with bFGF by hypodermic injection. After 5 weeks, abilities of learning and memory of three groups' rats were tested by Morris water maze. The changes of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), NAA/（Cr＋Cho） in lobus temporalis of VD rats were also observed.Results Abilities of learning and memory of rats significantly improved in the therapy group than that in the dementia group (P<0.01). The values of NAA, NAA/（Cr＋Cho） in lobus temporalis of VD rats significantly increased in the therapy group than that in the dementia group (P<0.01).Conclusion bFGF by hypodermic injection can obviously elevate abilities of learning and memory and the values of NAA, NAA/（Cr＋Cho） in lobus temporalis of VD rats.

@#Objective To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)therapy on abilities of learning and memory and hippocampal pyramidal cell in vascular dementia rats.MethodsThe vascular dementia model was reproduced and divided into control,sham and treatment groups.After 30 d of HBO therapy,the rats were assessed with the Morris water maze,and their hippocampal pyramidal cells were observed after HE staining.ResultsCompared with the control group,the ability of learning and memory of rats in treatment group increased,as well as the hippocampal pyramidal cells did.ConclusionHyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used to treat vascular dementia.
