Abstract:

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NT-3 on the decrease of the differentiation time of bulge stem cells of rat hair follicle from neuron like cells.Materials and Methods: The bulge region of the rat whisker was isolated from and cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with epidermal growth factor (EGF) in 3 groups for 7, 8 and 9 days .Then 10 ng/ml NT-3 was added to each group for 3 days. Finally, cell differentiation was assessed by immunocytochemistry using βⅢ-tubulin antibody and the result was compared with control groups.Results: According to our results hair follicle bulge stem cells expressed CD34 and Nestin in 7-9 and 10-12 first days after cultivation respectively. By using NT-3 duration differentiation process the cells showed positive reaction to βⅢ-tubulin antibody.Conclusion: The results indicate that NT-3 can affect on differentiation speed even in less than 10 days

In Vitro Differentiation of Neural Stem Cells into Noradrenergic-Like Cells

Neural stem cells (NSCs) as a heterogeneous multipotent and self- renewal population are found in different areas in the developing mammalian nervous system, as well as the sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) and the hippocampus of the adult brain. NSCs can give rise to neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The aim of this study was to differentiate neural stem cells into noradrenergic–like cells in...

Study 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 ...

Effect of let-7a overexpression on the differentiation of conjunctiva mesenchymal stem cells into photoreceptor-like cells

Objective(s): MicroRNAs (miRNAs) could regulate many cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation. let-7a miRNA is one of the key regulators in the developmental transition of retinal progenitor cells into differentiated cells. Current evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can isolate from various tissues such as bone marrow and conjuncti...

Effect of Mouse Liver Extract on in Vitro Differentiation of Amniotic Membrane Stem Cells into Hepatocyte-Like Cells

ABSTRACT           Background and Objective: Multipotent placental amniotic membrane mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of differentiating into specialized tissues under different conditions. The aim of this study was to induce differentiation of placental amniotic membrane MSCs from NMRI mouse into hepatocytes using liver extract. &nb...
