Migration of neural precursor cells derived from olfactory bulb in cochlear nucleus exposed to an augmented acoustic environment.

چکیده
The regeneration of the auditory neural system remains a challenge in hearing restoration. Acoustic signals may induce a site-specific cell replacement in the auditory system. This hypothesis was tested with grafted implantation of neural precursor cells (NPCs) along the cochlear nucleus in the adult host followed by an augmented acoustic stimulation. NPCs were obtained from the olfactory bulbs at embryonic day 14-16 and were transplanted into the inside border of cochlear nucleus. The labeled cells survived at least 2 weeks, verified by Hoechst 33342 fluorescence, and by immunostaining for a neuronal marker. In some cases NPCs had migrated directionally to the root of the auditory nerve. This observation demonstrates the survival and migration of NPCs from the olfactory bulb (OB) along the adult auditory nerve in an augmented acoustic environment following implantation.

Favorable proliferation and differentiation capabilities of neural precursor cells derived from rat cochlear nucleus.
NSCs/NPCs could be used for Sensorineural hearing loss treatment, because of the extensive capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency. In order to isolate and identify neural precursor cells (NPCs), we established a strategy to isolate and cultivate NPCs. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and electron microscopy were used to characterize the cells and compare their dif...
متن کاملExposure to acoustic stimuli promotes the development and differentiation of neural stem cells from the cochlear nuclei through the clusterin pathway
Stem cell therapy has attracted widespread attention for a number of diseases. Recently, neural stem cells (NSCs) from the cochlear nuclei have been identified, indicating a potential direction for the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss. Acoustic stimuli play an important role in the development of the auditory system. In this study, we aimed to determine whether acoustic stimuli induce NS...
متن کاملGDNF is a chemoattractant factor for neuronal precursor cells in the rostral migratory stream.
Olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons are generated from neuroblast cells derived from the anterior subventricular zone (SVZa) of the forebrain. The mechanisms guiding the rostral migration of these neuronal precursors are not well understood. Here, we show that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is produced in the olfactory bulb but distributed along the rostral migratory stream (RM...
متن کاملProlonged seizures increase proliferating neuroblasts in the adult rat subventricular zone-olfactory bulb pathway.
Neuronal precursors in the adult rodent forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ) proliferate, migrate to the olfactory bulb in a restricted pathway known as the rostral migratory stream (RMS), and differentiate into neurons. The effects of injury on this neurogenic region of the mature brain are poorly understood. To determine whether seizure-induced injury modulates SVZ neurogenesis, we induced sta...

Netrin1 is a member of a family of secreted molecules implicated in axon guidance, neuronal migration and apoptosis during development of central nervous system (CNS). Netrin1 signals in CNS through a group of transmembrane receptors belonging to the DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) and C. elegans Unc5-related families. Netrin1 mutant mice die usually at birth with several CNS defects, but he...
