Acta Anatomica Sinica 2009;40(4):675-679
Objective To introduce a reliable method to induce neural stem cells directed differentiating into neurons in vitro. Methods The rat neural stem cells were cultured in selected serum-free medium. After cultured for 2, 3 passages,the neurospheres or single-cells isolated from neurospheres were cultured in conditioned medium to induce directed differentiating into neurons. Besides morphological observation of those cells under inverted microscope, NSE immunocytochemistry was carried out to detect the differentiating ratio of those cells from neural stem cells into neurons. Results It was shown that the conditioned medium could induce neural stem cells differentiating into neurons effectively in both neurospheres culture mode or single-cells culture mode. Furthermore, compared with the neurospheres culture mode, the single-cells culture mode showed more synchronous in the differentiation process and higher in the percentage of NSE-positive cells. Conclusion This method can induce neural stem cells directed differentiating into neurons effectively and stablely.

Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
Objective To observe the connections between enkephalin immunoreactive(ENK-ir) terminals and ?-aminobutyric acid immunoreactive(GABA-ir) neurons in the rostral portion of the nucleus tractus solitarious(rNTS) of the rat. Methods Double-immunofluorescent labeling method and the pre-embedding immunohistochemical staining combined with immuno-gold particles labeling technique for electron microscopic detection were used in the present study. Results Under the laser scanning confocal microscope,dense ENK-ir fibers and terminals and some GABA-ir neurons were observed in the rNTS.Close contacts between ENK-ir terminals and GABA-ir cell bodies were also detected.By using the electron microscopic technique,ENK-ir reaction products were found to be mainly localized on the surface of round clear vesicles and dense-cored vesicles in the axon terminals.ENK-ir terminals formed symmetric,which was a dominant pattern,and asymmetric synaptic connections with GABA-ir and immunonegative cell bodies and dendrites.Conclusion The ENK-ir terminals might take part in the transmission and regulation of the taste information in the rNTS through inhibiting,exciting the GABAergic neurons or inhibiting directly the activity of neurons within the rNTS.
