Panax notoginseng saponins influence on transplantation of neural stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons in a rat model of Parkinson's disease
摘要
Abstract
BACKGROUND:Dopaminergic neurons differentiated from neural stem cells have been successfully used in the treatment of rat models of Parkinson's disease;however,the survival rate of transplanted cells has been low.Most cells die by apoptosis as a result of overloaded intracellular calcium and the formation of oxygen free radicals.OBJECTIVE:To observe whether survival of transplanted cells,transplantation efficacy.and dopaminergic differentiation from neural stem cells is altered by Panax notoginseng saponins(PNS) in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Cellular and molecular biology experiments with randomized group design.The experiment was performed at the Animal Experimental Center,First Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from April to October 2007.MATERIALS:Thirty-two adult,healthy,male Sprague Dawley rats,and four healthy Sprague Dawley rat embryos at gestational days 14-15 were selected.The right ventral mesenceDhalon was injected with 6-hydroxydopamine to establish a model of Parkinson's disease.6-hydroxydopamine and apomorphine were purchased from Sigma.USA.METHODS:Neural stem cells derived from the mesencephalon of embryonic rats were cultivated and passaged in serum-free culture medium.Lesioned animals were randomly divided into four groups(n=8):dopaminergic neuron,dopaminergic neuron+PNS,PNS,and control.The dopaminergic neuron group was iniected with 3 μ L cell suspension containing dopaminergic neurons difierentiated from neural stem cells.The dopaminergic neurons+PNS group received 3 μ L dopaminergic cell suspension combined with PNS (250 mg/L).The PNS group received 3 μL PNS(250 mg/L),and the control group received 3 μL DMEM/F12 culture medium.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The rats were transcardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde at 60 days post-grafting for immunohistochemistry.The rats were intraperitoneally injected with apomorphine (0.5 mg/kg)to induce rotational behavior.RESULTS:Cell counts of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the dopaminergic neuron+PNS group were(732±82.6)cells/400-fold field.This was significantly greater than the dopaminergic neuron group [(326±34.8)cells/400-fold field,P<0.01].Compared to the control group,the rotational asymmetry of rats that received dopaminergic neuron transplants was significantly decreased,beginning at 20 days after operation(P<0.0 1).Rotational asymmetry was fugher reduced between 10～60 days post-surgery in the dopaminergic neuron+PNS group,compared to the dopaminergic neuron group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Panax notoginseng saponins can increase survival and effectiveness of dopaminergic neurons differentiated from neural stem cells for transplantation in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.关键词
