Objective To clone and identify neurotrophic factor NT3 gene from mouse liver so as to establish a cell strain expressing high level of NT3 gene. Methods The target genes amplified by RT PCR were cloned into the shuttle vector pExchange 1neo, and then the DNA sequence was analyzed by enzyme digestion and sequencing.

BACKGROUND: Neural axon regeneration is one of the difficulties that must be overcome in treatment of injury of central nerve system. Significant therapeutic effects have been obtained in transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and Schwann cells. But the bottleneck situation of insufficiency of cell provider has limited the development on it.OBJECTIVE: To observe directional-differentiation of retinoic-acid induced ESCs so as to find optimal condition for neuronal differentiation.DESIGN: Non-randomized controlled experiment was designed.SETTING: Teaching-Research Room of Histology and Embryology, Department of Basic Medicines. Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLAMATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Staff Room of Histology and Embryology, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January to May 2000. Eighteen Kunming mice in disoestrus were employed, of which. 12 mice were female and 6 mice male. They were placed in same cage at ratio of 2:1 for mating. The date of pregnancy was recorded. MESPU35 ESC line was prepared.METHODS: Removed head. internal organs and four limbs, feeder-layer Feeder-layer adherent culture was used to proliferate MESPU35 ESCs.Classic 4-/4+ method [The embryoid body (EB) grew naturally for 4 days,without retinoic acid added. In the coming 4 days, retinoic acid was added to induce neural EB of high proportion] was applied to induce the directional differentiation of the nerve. EB was cultured with serum of different concentrations. Phase contrast microscope was used to observe nerve-like EB in serum of different concentrations and to count numbers. ②Immunocytochemical technique was used to observe cellular morphological charac ters at various differentiating phase spots (5th. 9th, 14th days) and with retinoic acid at various concentrations. Flow cytometer (FCM) was used to count the proportion of differentiated neurons.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Estimated measurement of the length of process and cell body during formation of neural EB after retinoic-acid induced differentiation of MESPU35 ESCs. ② Observation of cell morphology with immunocytochemical staining and proportion of differentiated cells assayed with FCM.RESULTS: ①It was discovered with phase contrast microscope that serum of different concentrations affect neural directional differentiation after EB formation to certain extent. Excessively high and low concentrations of serum reduced the proportion of neural differentiation of EB. The differentiating proportion is high in serum with 5% concentration. ② It is observed with immunocytochemical technique that the proportions of NF200 positive cell and glial fibrillary acidicprotein (GFAP) positive cell in differentiation of MESPU35 ESCs induced by retinoic acid were increased with phase spots in differentiation and increased concentration of retinoic acid. NF200 positive cell is transformed as multipolar neurons from absence of process in morphology. The processes of GFAP positive cell became longer and linked among each other as reticular pattern finally. ③ It was assayed with FCM that the proportion changes of GFAP positive cell and NF200 positive cell manufactured in differentiation were similar to immunocytochemical one.CONCLUSION: Retinoic acid in combination with proper concentration of serum and differentiating phase spots can induce neural-differentiation of MESPU35 ESC at high proportion and its differentiating regulation is in the patterns of concentration dependence and time dependence.

Objective To establish human neural stem cells(HNSCs) model for further basic research and clinical application. Methods Cells from human fetal cerebral cortex were collected and cultured with serum free midium and then identified for nestin immunocytochemical staning;The cells were induced to differentiate by 5% fetal bovin serum and identified by neurofilament-200(NF-200) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) immunocytochemical staning. Results The harvested cells appeared as clusters in suspension and both NF-200 and GFAP positive cells were observed after induction.After 12 generations of culture,these cells retained the main characteristics of NSCs.Conclusions The HNSCs were harvested from human fetal cerebral cortex and this HNSCs model can be used for futher basic research and clinical applications.;

It is important and necessary for the teaching process in histology and embryology integrated by psychological quality.The psychological quality of teachers can be improved by professional training and by themselves.Teachers should teach everyone differently according to the different psychological character of medical students who are born after 1990.Teachers can improve psychological quality of medical students in teaching process including the discussion,visiting the embryo sample and the second class.

Objective To detect the expression changes and location of the mouse developmental regulation brain protein(Dbn1)in the developmental mouse brain.Methods Monoclonal antibodies against drebrin protein were used to assess Dbn1 by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The paternal expression of Dbn1 in developmental mouse brain(E14,P1,P7 and adult)was initially investigated by Western blot.Dbn1 was shown at various developmental stages(E14,P1 and P7)as well as in adult in different brain area of developmental mouse brain by immunohistochemical.Results Dbn1 protein was detected in developmental brain but a little in adult brain by Western blot,high at E14,decreased at P1,gradually increased at P7 and lowest in adult.Immunohistochemistry confirmed as follows:Dbn1 expressed mostly in cortex,hippocampus and ependyma areas at E14,and the positive signal was distributed at cells border;The expression of Dbn1 was decreased at P1,mainly distributed at the verge of cells or dendrites;The peak expression of Dbn1 appeared at P7,Dbn1 located at nucleus of hippocampus and cortex,and the positive signal located within cytoplasm and dendrites;Only a little positive Dbn1 cells were found in adult mouse brain.Conclusion Dnb1 may be involved in regulating the differentiation and migration of neurons during the development of mouse brain.

Objective To isolate and identify pancreatic stem cells of Kunming mouse and to observe the differentiation potency of those cells. Methods Pancreas of postnatal Kunming mice were digested by enzymes to isolate pancreatic stem cells. The potency of the cell differentiation was then identified with special marker of cytokeratin 19(CK 19), insulin and glucagons by immunocytochemical staining. Results Few epithelioid cells could be found to survive at the beginning of isolation, but when medium was replaced by that with growth factor, the cells proliferated quickly in fusiform shape and formed colony gradually. The cells were CK 19 immunoreactive positive after transfer of culture. After differentiation induced by high glucose, the cells formed the pancreatic islet like structures. Immunocytochemical staining showed that part of the cells of pancreatic islet like structures were insulin immunoreactive positive and few of the cells were glucagon immunoreactive positive. Conclusion Pancreatic stem cells of Kumming mouse can proliferate when cultured in vitro and have the potency of differentiation into ? and? cells of pancreatic islet.
