Neural cell adhesion molecule L1-transfected embryonic stem cells promote functional recovery after excitotoxic lesion of the mouse striatum.

چکیده
We have generated a murine embryonic stem cell line constitutively expressing L1 at all stages of neural differentiation to investigate the effects of L1 overexpression on stem cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, cell death, and ability to influence drug-induced rotation behavior in an animal model of Huntington's disease. L1-transfected cells showed decreased cell proliferation in vitro, enhanced neuronal differentiation in vitro and in vivo, and decreased astrocytic differentiation in vivo without influencing cell death compared with nontransfected cells. L1 overexpression also resulted in an increased yield of GABAergic neurons and enhanced migration of embryonic stem cell-derived neural precursor cells into the lesioned striatum. Mice grafted with L1-transfected cells showed recovery in rotation behavior 1 and 4 weeks, but not 8 weeks, after transplantation compared with mice that had received nontransfected cells, thus demonstrating for the first time that a recognition molecule is capable of improving functional recovery during the initial phase in a syngeneic transplantation paradigm.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, after Alzheimer's disease, and the most common movement disorder. Drug treatment and deep brain stimulation can ameliorate symptoms, but the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra eventually leads to severe motor dysfunction. The transplantation of stem cells has emerged as a promising app...

Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived L1 Overexpressing Neural Aggregates Enhance Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury in Mice
An obstacle to early stem cell transplantation into the acutely injured spinal cord is poor survival of transplanted cells. Transplantation of embryonic stem cells as substrate adherent embryonic stem cell-derived neural aggregates (SENAs) consisting mainly of neurons and radial glial cells has been shown to enhance survival of grafted cells in the injured mouse brain. In the attempt to promote...
متن کاملRepair of Spinal Cord Injury by Co-Transplantation of embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Motor Neuron and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell
Background: The failure of regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) has been attributed to axonal demyelination and neuronal death. Cellular replacement and white matter regeneration are both necessary for SCI repair. In this study, we evaluated the co-transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) and embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived motor neurons (ESMN) on contused SCI. Methods: OEC...
