| Persephin(PSPN)is one of neurotrophic factors of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF)family ligands(GFLs)which have been found to promote the survival of specific populations of neurons.Object:The aim of this study was to assess the potential therapeutic function of gene-modified mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)-Lv-PSPN-MSCs in 6-OHDA-induced Parkinson's disease(PD)rats models.Methods : Here,we worked on the isolation,purification,identification and amplification of MSCs in vitro.We detected the expression of neural marker proteins like nestin,GFAP and S100.We observe the effect of Persephin on Mes23.5 by flow cytometry.Parkinson's disease model establishment and Cells transplanted into the striatum of PD rats.We observe the behavior change of rats after intraperitoneal injection apomorphine and the content of dopamine by HPLC.Results:The expression analysis revealed that several of the neural marker proteins like nestin,GFAP and S100 were expressed by rat MSCs.MES23.5 cells co-cultured with Lv-PSPN-MSCs showed less 6-OHDA induced cell death than control cells in vitro.When Lv-PSPN-MSCs were injected into the striatum of PD rats,we observed the survival rate,migration,differentiation and the behavior change of PD rats.We found that Lv-PSPN-MSCs showed higher survival rate in rat brain compared with Lv-null-MSCs.Rotational behavior showed that rats receiving Lv-PSPN-MSCs showed the most significant improvement compared with those in other groups.HPLC results showed the content of DA in striatum of rats which received Lv-PSPN-MSCs was highest compared with those in other groups.Conclusion : In conclusion,our results suggest that transplantation of Lv-PSPN-MSCs can lead to remarkable therapeutic effects in PD rats. |
