BACKGROUND: Reports regarding adipose-derived stern cells (ADSCs) differentiation into dopaminergic (DN) neurons are few in addition, there is not experimental evidence of the effect of ADSCs on maintaining the survival of DN neurons.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of glial cell-derived neurokophic factor (GDNF)-modified adipose-derived stem cells on survival of DN neurons under co-cultured condition.DESIGN, TIME AND SETrlNG: The in vitro cytology experiment was conducted at the Institute of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Key Laboratory of Zoonoses of Ministry of Education between March and December 2007.MATERIALS: Wistar rats with 3-weeks-old, or 14 days of pregnancy were provided by Norman Bethune College of Medicine, Jilin University.METHODS: The GDNF recombinant adenovirus was constructed by using pAdTrackCMV and pAdEasy-1 system. DN neurons were obtained from the rostral mesencaphalic tegmentum of Wistar rat embryos by using trypsin and collagenase method. ADSCs isolated from rat inguinal fat pads were digested with collagenase Ⅱ, cultured and passaged in vitro. When the cells reached 60% cenfluency at the 3rd passage, cells were transfectad with 1×109vp/mL of Ad-GDNF for 1 hour and then transferred into growth medium for another 24 hours, and GDNF level in cell supematant was detected by ELISA assay. Meanwhile, the co-cultured of ADSCs and DN neurons were carried out for following 7 days. With GFP-modified ADSCs was served as a control group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The effect of co-cultured condition on the survival of DN neurons, as well as the differentiation of GDNF-modified ADSCs was detected by immunofluorescence staining.RESULTS: GDNF appeared in ADSCs supematant at 24 hours after Ad-GDNF transfection and reached a peak at 72 hours.There was approximately 80% GFP-positive labeled in ADSCs. The tyrosinase hydroxylase staining results demonstrated that the rate of survival DN neurons were significantly increased than in DA neurons cultured alone, co-cultured group of GFP-modified ADSCs and GDNF-modified ADSCs groups (55%, 15%, 25%, P < 0.01). However, there were no co-expressing TH and GFP positive cells appeared at 7 days of co-culture, which indicated that the co-cultured condition was not available to ADSCs differentiation.CONCLUSION: The co-cultured of GDNF modified ADSCs and DN neurons can promote the survival and growth of cultured DN neurons, however, it can not induce ADSCs differentiate into DN neurons.

BACKGROUND: The abnormality of the function of arcuate nucleus may be an important factor of obesity. It has been known that the mechanisms of acupuncture in treating obesity are related to nervous and neurohumoral regulation. What is the regulating effect of acupuncture on the function of arcuate nucleus?OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of acupuncture on the function of arcuate nucleus of obese rats, and further investigate central nervous functional mechanism of reducing weight by acupuncture.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Acupuncture institute in second clinical medical college of a university of traditional Chinese medicine, and a population management college.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Acupuncture Institute of Second Clinical Medical College, Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between April and October 2002. One-month old male SD rats just in ablactation were selected.METHODS: Rats fed with ordinary wholesome rat-feed were in the normal group. The successfully established experimental obese rats models were randomly divided as control group and acupuncture group with 12 rats in each group. Rats in the acupuncture group were given acupuncture treatment for 14 days, and rats in the normal and control groups were put into rat fixation-machine for 15 minutes every day, lasting for 14 days. Body mass, Lee' s index, body lipid, level of central and peripheral leptin and insulin(INS) as well as the frequency of spontaneous discharge of nerve cell in the arcuate nucleus(ARC) of hypothalamus in obese rats were observed with nervous electrophysiological and nervous biochemical technology before and after acupuncture.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Effect of acupuncture on obesity index, fat contents of pericardium, kidney and epididymis of experimental obese rats. ② Effect of acupuncture on the frequency of spontaneous discharge of ARC nerve cell of hypothalamus in obese rats. ③ Effect of acupuncture on the contents of hypothalamic and serum leptin and INS of rats in each groups. ④ Correlation of the frequency of spontaneous discharge of ARC nerve cell of hypothalamus with the level of hypothalamic leptin and INS.RESULTS: The body mass[(517.74±29.35) g], Lee' s index (319.85 ± 3.96) and body fat content of obesity rats [ (13.88 ± 1.32) g] were all significantly higher than those in the normal rats, the differences were significant(P ＜ 0.01); the frequency of spontaneous discharge of nerve cell in ARC of hypothalamus in obese rats [ (3.12 ± 1.92) Hz] were all markedly lower than those of the normal rats[ (8.99 ± 2.71 ) Hz], the differences were significant (P ＜ 0.01 ); the frequency of spontaneous discharge of nerve cell in ARC was negatively correlated with body mass, Lee' s index and body lipid( r = -0. 592, -0. 672, -0. 521 ) . Acupuncture significantly increased the frequency of spontaneous discharge of nerve cell in ARC of hypothalamus in obese rats [(9.75 ±2.02) Hz] as compared with the control group, the differences were significant( P ＜ 0. 01 ).CONCLUSION: The good regulating effect of acupuncture on the function of arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus might be one of mechanisms in the antiobesity of acupuncture.
