Objective To investigate the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells(rMSCs) of young rat into neuron-like cells with Ligustrazin hydrochloride. Methods rMSCs were separated from femurs marrow flushed out with DMEM(low glucose) by using a needle and syringe, then planted in plastic culture flask. Through expanded to 5 passages, rMSCs were induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells with Ligustrazin hydrochloride. Anti-neurofilament(NF-M), nestin, neuron-specific enolase(NSE), MAP-2,GAP-43 and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) antibodies were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results rMSCs were comprised a single phenotypic population and displayed a fibroblast-like morphology after 5 passage in culture. With 10*!?g/L bFGF pre-induce for 24*!h, then the medium was replaced with induction medium containing Ligustrazin hydrochloride. The induced-rMSCs exhibited neuronal morphological characteristics from the first half an hour to 5*!h. The neuron-like cells expressed NF-M, NSE, MAP-2,GAP-43 and nestin positive, but didn't express glial astrocyte marker GFAP.Conclusion rMSCs can be induced to differentiate into neuron like cells with Ligustrazin hydrochloride in vitro.

Objective To determinted whether GM1 had a protective effect on injury induced by serum-deprivation and the possible mechanism in PC12 cells. Methods The viability of PC12 cells was quantified by MTT after serum-deprivation.The number of apoptotic cells and necrotic cells were determined by Hoechst 33258/PI staining.And the change of PKC protein expression on PC12 cells' membrane and cytosols was detected by Western blotting. Results 1.The viability of PC12 cells decreased after serum-deprivation and the serum-deprivation for 24 hours was chosen as an injury model in this research.Most of the PC12 cells presented apoptosis 24 hours after serum-deprivation.In addition,the PC12 cells' cytosols PKC protein decreased,while the PC12 cells' membrane PKC protein increased significantly,and this result suggested PKC's translocation to membrane and its activation.2.The viability of PC12 cells preincubated with GM1 in high concentrations(10,1,0.1?mol/L) increased significantly and GM1 protected PC12 cells from apoptosis after serum-deprived injury.GM1 reduced the damage of serum-deprivation on PC12 cells and inhibited PKC protein translocation after injury.3.The repair function of GM1 was effective to neuronal resume after serum-deprived injury.Conclusion Neuroprotective effects of GM1 on serum-deprived injury may be partly mediated through the regulation of PKC pathways and it is helpful for the recovery after injury.
