Objective To investigate the effects of low dose radiation on dendritic growth of newborn neurons in the hippocampus of young rat.Methods One month-old male rats were randomized into radiation group aind sham control group.Radiation group received whole brain irradiation at a single dose of 2 Gy.Retrovirus expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used to label newborn neurons in the hippocampus through stereotaxic intracranial infusion.Immunofluorescence assays were performed to detect dendritic architecture alterations induced by irradiation at different time points.Results Compared with control group,the lengths of total dendrite and the longest dendrite significantly decreased at 2 and 4 weeks after irradiation (t =3.10,2.07,2.94,4.02,P < 0.05).The branching points of new born neurons were also decreased significantly at 2 weeks post irradiation (t =2.23,P < 0.05).The number of new born neurons reduced at 4 weeks post irradiation (t =8.43,P < 0.05).Conclusions Low dose radiation could inhibit newborn neuron growth in the hippocampus of young rat,which may be one of the most important mechanisms involved in radiation-induced cognitive impairment.

BACKGROUND:Clinical application of neural stem cells is under exploration.Currently,the indicative differentiation of neural stem cells into specific neurons to replace lost and degenerative neurons needs to solve.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of 83 ku protein in rat hippocempi on inducing neural stem cell differentiation into acetylcholine esterase (ACHE) positive neurons.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:In vitro controlled observation of cytology was performed at the Medical College of Nantong University between October 2003 and April 2008.MATERIALS:A total of 12 SD rats,of clean grade,and SD fetal rats,aged 17 days,were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Nantong University.METHODS:The normal hippocampi and hippocampi on the 14th day after the hippocampal fimbria transection were prepared into homogenate used for 10% native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,and the differential proteins of 83 ku were electroeluted.The protein concentration was adjusted to 300 mg/L.The forebrain tissues of fetal rats were harvested and neural stem cells were isolated and in vitro cultured:blank control cells were cultured in serum-free DMEM/F12 medium;83 ku normal and 83 ku transection groups were separately cultured in serum-free DMEM/F12 medium containing 10 mg/L 83 ku protein from normal and hippocampal fimbria transection rats for 12 days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:AChE histochemical staining was used to detect the differentiation of neural stem cells into AChE positive neurons.RESULTS:After 12 days of culture,there was a large amount of AChE positive neurons in 83ku transection group and their bodies were very big and the processes were abundant;The AChE positive neurons in 83ku normal group were less than 83 transection group,and their bodies were small with short processes.A few of AChE positive neurons were seen in control group.There were significant differences in number of AChE positive neurons among three groups (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONHippocampal 83 ku protein can induce neural stem cells to differentiate into AChE positive neurons.

Objective To investigate the roles of TrkA and TrkB in radiation-induced hippocampal neurogenesis impairment.Methods Fifty-six rats were randomized into radiation group and sham control group.Radiation group received whole brain irradiation at a single dose of 10 Gy.The hippocampus were separated from rats in day 1,day 3,day 14 and 1 month after irradiation.Western blot and RT-PCR were applied to detect the protein levels and mRNA levels.Golgi staining was used to observe the dendritic spine of hippocampus.Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neural precursor's proliferation.Results Compared with control group,the numbers of dendritic spine significantly decreased after irradiation and its shape change obviously.Immunofluorescence showed a significant decrease in neural precursor's proliferation comparing with control group (t =6.49,P < 0.05).Protein level of TrkA expression increased (t =2.64,3.06,4.80,2.64,P < 0.05),while the levels of TrkB protein expression decreased significantly (t =4.59,3.06,2.81,2.57,P < 0.05).The mRNA level of TrkA expressions increased (t =4.57,3.06,5.39,5.86,P < 0.05),while the mRNA level of TrkB decreased (t =14.87,11.69,4.98,P < 0.05).Conclusions As a signaling pathways downstream of NGF and BDNF,TrkA and TrkB may play an important role in radiation-induced neurogenesis impairment.

Objective Modified the medium that can increase single\|clone formed rate and confirmed the single clone spheres had the multipotential of differentation. Methods We modified the medium, that is, the medium contained half of primary culture medium and half of fresh culture medium. A great deal of neurospheres dervied from a single cell were plated averagely into 24 well plates and added into the DMEM differentiation medium (containing serum). After culturing for 14 days, cultures were stained with the neuronal\| ang glial\|specific markers (MAP\|2 for neurons, GFAP for astrocytes and CNP for oligodendrocytes). Results Each 96 well plate containing half of primary culture medium generated two to three single clone spheres, in control plate containing only fresh medium generated half to one single clone sphere. After differentiation, these cell clones expressed MAP\|2, GFAP and CNP positive respectively.Conclusion\ Using half of primary culture medium can increase single\|clone formed rate and these cell clones had the multipotential of differentiation.\;[
