ABSTRACT
Objective To approach a way to induce MSCs to dopaminergic neuron by mesencephalic conditional media and cytokines in vitro,and supply an ideal cells source for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.Methods The rat MSCs were isolated primarily from the femurs and tibias of the Wistar rats.MSCs were cultured,proliferated and purified by passage culture.Cultuered MSCs were divided into the control and the experimental group.In control group,MSCs were cultured without any induction medium.MSCs of experimental group were first cultured at medium containing bFGF for 24 hours.Then media were replaced with induction media which contained the agents as follows,respectively:GM_1,GDNF, GDNF+GM_1,GDNF+GM_1+mesencephalic conditional media.The surface markers of the differentiated neuron,such as NSE and TH were detected by immunocytoehemistry after MSCs were cultured in induction media for 3 and 7 days.Results In control groups,the NSE expression of MSCs was very lower than experimental groups.The percentage of NSE-positive cells of GDNF+GM_1+mesencephalic conditional media group in 7 day((45.257?5.999)/HP)was significantly more than other groups(control group is 2.214?0.779,GM_1 group is 22.014?3.624,GDNF group is 31.345?2.850,GDNF?GM_1 group is 40.314?4.203,P
