  • Objective To explore the differentiation fates of rat neural stem cells (NSCs) in differenten vironmental conditions. Methods NSCs derived from 16-day-old rat embryo were proliferated in vitro and implanted into the brain of rats with intra-cerebral hemorrhage. At the same time some NSCs were co-culturedin vitro with Schwann cells derived from newborn rats. MAP-2, GFAP and Ga1C (which are the specific markers of neural cells, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes respectively),BrdU and β-tubulin were detected by immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent methods.Results BrdU positive cells that were implanted into the brain distributed around the hemorrhagic area. The majority of them were GFAP positive astrocytes while a few of them were β-tubulin positive neural cells or GalC positive oligodendrocytes. After being co-cultured with Schwann cellsin vitro,NSCs are predominately shown β-tubulin and MAP-2 positive, and only a minority of them were GFAP or GalC positive. Conclusions The hemorrhagic environment in vivo induces NSCs to differentiate mainly into astrocytes while co-culture with Schwann cells in vitro induce the majority of NSCs to differentiate into neural cells.
