Quiescent neural cells regain multipotent stem cell characteristics influenced by adult neural stem cells in co-culture

The source of cells participating in central nervous system (CNS) tissue repair and regeneration is poorly defined. One possible source is quiescent neural cells that can persist in CNS in the form of dormant progenitors or highly specialized cell types. Under appropriate conditions, these quiescent cells may be capable of re-entering the mitotic cell cycle and contributing to the stem cell pool. The aim of this study was to determine whether in vitro differentiated neural stem cells (NSC) can regain their multipotent-like stem cell characteristics in co-culture with NSC. To this end, we induced neural differentiation by plating NSC, derived from the periventricular subependymal zone (SEZ) of ROSA26 transgenic mice in Neurobasal A/B27 medium in the absence of bFGF. Under these conditions, NSC differentiated into neurons, glia, and oligodendrocytes. While the level of Nestin expression was downregulated, persistence of dormant progenitors could not be ruled out. However, further addition of bFGF or bFGF/EGF with conditioned medium derived from adult NSC did not induce any noticeable cell proliferation. In another experiment, differentiated neural cells were cultured with adult NSC, isolated from the hippocampus of Balb/c mice, in the presence bFGF. This resulted in proliferating colonies of ROSA26 derived cells that mimicked NSC in their morphology, growth kinetics, and expressed NSC marker proteins. The average nuclear area and DAPI fluorescence intensity of these cells were similar to that of NSC grown alone. We conclude that reactivation of quiescent neural cells can be initiated by NSC-associated short-range cues but not by cell fusion.

Expression profile of an operationally-defined neural stem cell clone

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are the most primordial and least committed cells of the nervous system, the cells that exist before regional specification develops. Because immunocytochemically-detectable markers that are sufficiently specific and sensitive to define an NSC have not yet been fully defined, we have taken the strong view that, to be termed a "stem cell" in the nervous system--in contrast to a "progenitor" or "precursor" (whose lineage commitment is further restricted)--a single neuroectodermally-derived cell must fulfill an operational definition that is essentially similar to that used in hematopoiesis. In other words, it must possess the following functional properties: (1) "Multipotency", i.e., the ability to yield mature cells in all three fundamental neural lineages throughout the nervous system--neurons (of all subtypes), astrocytes (of all types), oligodendrocytes--in multiple regional and developmental contexts and in a region and developmental stage-appropriate manner. (2) The ability to populate a developing region and/or repopulate an ablated or degenerated region of the nervous system with appropriate cell types. (3) The ability to be serially transplanted. (4) "Self-renewal", i.e., the ability to produce daughter cells (including new NSCs) with identical properties and potential. Having identified a murine neural cell clone that fulfills this strict operational definition--in contrast to other studies that used less rigorous or non-operational criteria for defining an NSC (e.g., the "neurosphere" assay)--we then examined, by comparing gene expression profiles, the relationship such a cell might have to (a) a multipotent somatic stem cell from another organ system (the hematopoietic stem cell [HSC]); (b) a pluripotent stem cell derived from the inner cell mass and hence without organ assignment (an embryonic stem cell); (c) neural cells isolated and maintained primarily as neurospheres but without having been subjected to the above mentioned operational screen ("CNS-derived neurospheres"). ESCs, HSCs, and operationally-defined NSCs--all of which have been identified not only by markers but by functional assays in their respective systems and whose state of differentiation could be synchronized--shared a large number of genes. Although, as expected, the most stem-like genes were expressed by ESCs, NSCs and HSCs shared a number of genes. CNS-derived neurospheres, on the other hand, expressed fewer "stem-like" genes held in common by the other operationally-defined stem cell populations. Rather they displayed a profile more consistent with differentiated neural cells. (Genes of neural identity were shared with the NSC clone.) Interestingly, when the operationally-defined NSC clone was cultured as a neurosphere (rather than in monolayer), its expression pattern shifted from a "stem-like" pattern towards a more "differentiated" one, suggesting that the neurosphere, without functional validation, may be a poor model for predicting stem cell attributes because it consists of heterogeneous populations of cells, only a small proportion of which are truly "stem-like". Furthermore, when operational definitions are employed, a common set of stem-like genes does emerge across both embryonic and somatic stem cells of various organ systems, including the nervous system.

神经干细胞原代培养方法的优化

Objective To study the influence of digestion times of low concentration trypsin on the proliferation and apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the hippocampus of neonate rats.Methods Hippocampus of neonatal rats (within 24 h) were taken out, and treated with trypsin at 1.25g/L concentration and 37 ℃ for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 minutes; unicellular suspension was then successfully got and primary culture and subculture were performed. Effects of trypsinization on cell viability and growth of NSCs were compared by observing the cell morphology and Trypan blue staining.The 5-bromodeoxyuridine labeling was performed to assess the self-renewing and proliferative activities of NSCs. Fluorescence immunocytochemistry was carried out to examine the expressions of BrdU and nestin. Apoptosis was measured by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay and flow cytometry. Results Primary and passage culture of NSCs enjoyed rapid proliferation and formation of neurospheres. The neurosphere cells expressed NSCs specific marker nestin by immunofluorescence; all the neurosphere cells could incorporate BrdU into the nucleus; of the neurospheres obtained from the 3rd, 5th and 7th d, those digested for 15 rain enjoyed the highest level of NSCs neurospheres, the highest BrdU labeled clone and the lowest cell apoptosis as compared with those digested for 5, 10, 20 and 25 min (P<0.05). Conclusion The NSCs isolated from the hippocampus of neonatal rats have the ability of proliferation in vitro. And 1.25 g/L concentration of trypsin with digestion times could positively change the proliferative and apoptosis capacity of NSCs: too short or long digestion times can inhibit the proliferation of NSCs and induce the apoptosis of NSCs; the longer the digestion time, the higher the apoptosis of NSCs.
