There are two kinds of treatments on Alzheimer's disease (AD) rat by transplanting neural stem cells (NSCs),i.e.the replacing cell curing and the gene therapy.By replacing method,the AD rats showed signs of recovering to some extent on both histomorphology and behavior after transplanting NSCs into their brains.Transplanting NSCs along with the nerve nutrition factor (NTFs) showed better curative effects than NSCs transplantation alone.However,little is known about the molecular mechanism involving in the development of NSCs in vivo conditions.And the blindness of the treatment hindered the comparison of various affecting factors.The NSCs gene therapy is still in initial studying,with the effects of both cell replacement and gene therapy.This treatment genetically modified NSCs mainly by unitary nutrition fators such as nerve growth factor (NGF),brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF),and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).And it was almost known nothing about the exogenous gene expression efficiency,the induce differentiation,the restore of function and security after genetically-modified NSCs transplanted into the AD rat brain.The detecting technology of NSCs transplanting curative effects of the AD rat is unitary at present.And the combined method is the developing trend,such as combining the immunohistochemical method with in vivo-tracking,and combining morphology index with the function index.
