Chondroitin sulfate "wobble motifs" modulate maintenance and differentiation of neural stem cells and their progeny.
Chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) proteoglycans, major components of the central nervous system, have the potential to interact with a wide range of growth factors and neurotrophic factors that influence neuronal migration, axon guidance pathways, and neurite outgrowth. Recent studies have also revealed the role of CS/DS chains in the orchestration of the neural stem/progenitor cell ...
متن کاملDecellularized kidney in the presence of chondroitin sulfate as a natural 3D scaffold for stem cells
Objective(s): Use of biological scaffolds and automating the cells directing process with materials such as growth factors and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in a certain path may have beneficial effects in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in future. In this research, chondroitin sulfate sodium was used for impregnation of the scaffolds. It is a critical component in extracellular matrix...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression of multiple chondroitin sulfate modification enzymes among neural stem cells, neurons and astrocytes.
Chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) polysaccharides have been reported to play a crucial role in the proliferation and maintenance of neural stem cells (NSCs). However, little is known about the structural changes and functional role of CS/DS chains in the differentiation of NSCs. Western blots of NSCs, neurons and astrocytes in culture, with three CS-polysaccharide antibodies of diffe...
متن کاملExpression pattern of neurotrophins and their receptors during neuronal differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells in simulated microgravity condition
Objective(s): Studies have confirmed that microgravity, as a mechanical factor, influences both differentiation and function of mesenchymal stem cells. Here we investigated the effects of simulated microgravity on neural differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods:We have used a fast rotating clinostat (clinorotation) to simulate microgravity condition. R...
متن کاملStudy on Effect of Head, Tail, and Limbud extracts of Mouse on Differentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells to Neural cells
Introduction: Adult stem cells are the group of cells which conserve their nature in tissues and organs among other cells. In recent years, the researchers reported the existence of stem cells on the Bulge of hair follicles near to the smooth muscle. It is possible to differentiate these stem cells to neural cells by induction of Shh, FGF, and RA factors. Because of existence of these factors ...
