EXPRESSION OF THE Nogo PROTEIN IN THE PRIMARY CULTURED ENSHEATHING CELLS FROM OLFACTORY BULB OF ADULT RAT BY CONFOCAL LASER SCANNING MICROSCOPE / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

Objective Studying the expression of the Nogo(N\|18) in olfactory ensheathing cells(OECs) to investigate the functional relationship between Nogo and the OECs in promoting the regeneration of neurite axon. Methods The expression of the Nogo(N\|18) in the primary cultured ensheathing cells from olfactory bulb of the adult rats was studied with the method of immunocytochemical staining and double\|immunofluorescence staining examed under the confocal laser scanning microscope. Results The Nogo\|A protein was located in primary cultured ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb.The protein was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm.The member and processes were less stained.Conclusion\ The ensheathing cells in vitro contain Nogo protein.It suggests that Nogo protein is not a depressive factor in the axon regeneration of olfactory system.\;[
