Abstract:
:Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a promising source for cell-based treatment of brain injury, but the therapy of BMSCs is restricted by low cell survival. We examined whether nerve growth factor (NGF) improve BMSCs viability in the brain with Fimbria-Fornix lesion (FF). After transduction of NGF gene via recombinant retroviral vectors, the rat BMSCs were transformed into the NGF-GFP positive BMSCs, nearly 100% of cells expressed NGF. After transplanted into basal forebrain of rat with FF, the NGF-GFP positive BMSCs expressed the exogenous NGF gene in the host brain, and interesting, the survival number of BMSCs in the NGF group was significant more than that of the void plasmid group. Furthermore, the number of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactive neurons of NGF group was also significant higher than those of the void plasmid group (p<0.05) or the PBS group (p<0.01). Performance in the water maze test was improved in these rats in NGF group. These results indicate that NGF increased BMSCs survival in brain with FF, which results in better improvement of brain function than injected with BMSCs alone.
