Abstract:

BACKGROUND: To in vitro isolate neural stem cells with high purity and uniform biological properties and to establish a complete set of neural stem cell culture system is the basis for neural stem cell research.

OBJECTIVE: To establish an isolation and culture system for neural stem cells from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex and to analyze the biological properties of cells.
METHODS: Neural stem cells were isolated from the hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex tissue of newborn Kunming mice by mechanical separation and trypsin digestion. Serum-free culture technology, mechanical pipetting and trypsin digestion were used for subculture of neural stem cells. 10% fetal bovine serum was used to induce differentiation of neural stem cells. Neural stem cells and their differentiated products were identified by immunofluorescent staining of Nestin, CD133, β-TubulinIII, glial fibrillary acidic protein.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The neural stem cell obtained from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex had the capacity of self-renewal and differentiation which were positive for Nestin and CD133. After induction with fetal bovine serum, neural stem cell could differentiation to β-tubulinIII or glial fibrillary acidic protein positive cells that were neurons and astrocytes. This experiment has successfully established the neural stem cell isolation, culture, identification and induction system, providing experimental basis for subsequent studies of neural stem cells.
