Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that the chemokine stromal cell derived factor-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor have the ability to make neural stem cells (NSCs) migration.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and its receptoron the migrati on of NSCs in vitro.
METHODS: Hippocampal NSCs from SD fetal rats were isolated and cultured; meanwhile they could be amplified and identified in vitro; The expression of CCR2 was detected with immunofluorescence and RT-PCR; Effect of MCP-1 with different concentrations (50, 100, 200, 300, 500 ng/mL) on NSCs in vitro migration was obsened under agarose.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immunofluorescence and RT-PCR results showed that NSCs from fetal rat hippocampal could express chemokine receptor CCR2; and the migration experiment under agarose showed that the MCP-1 with different concentrations could induce the migration of NSCs in vitro and with the higher the dose the better the migration. But the anti-CCR42 polyclonal antibodies could inhibit the migration of NSCs.
