To study the proliferation effect of neural stem cells (NSCs) of ginsenoside Rg1 in vitro.
NSCs from the embryonic rat (E14) were isolated, 10 mg x L(-1) BrdU were added in the medium. The NSCs were incubated together with 1, 10 micromol x L(-1) ginsenoside Rg1 for 48 hours, control group were setup. Then BrdU positive cell number were detected and counted by fluorescence microscop. The Hes1 and Mash1 mRNA expression were detected by real-time RT-PCR.
The number of BrdU positive cells in 10 micromol x L(-1) ginsenoside Rg1 group was increased significantly compared with the control group (40.5 +/- 10.9 vs 26.2 +/- 6.0, P < 0.01), and the Hes1 mRNA expression were increased significantly (1.00 +/- 0.11) vs (1.28 +/- 0.14), P < 0.05.
ginsenoside Rg1 can promote the proliferation of neural stem cells in vitro, and this effect may be induced by the up-regulation Hes1 expression.
研究人参皂苷Rg1对神经干细胞(NSCs)的体外增殖作用。
分离胚胎大鼠(E14)的神经干细胞,培养基中加入10 mg·L⁻¹溴脱氧尿苷(BrdU)。将神经干细胞与1、10 μmol·L⁻¹人参皂苷Rg1共同孵育48小时,设立对照组。然后通过荧光显微镜检测并计数BrdU阳性细胞数量。通过实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测Hes1和Mash1 mRNA表达。
与对照组相比,10 μmol·L⁻¹人参皂苷Rg1组的BrdU阳性细胞数量显著增加(40.5±10.9对26.2±6.0,P<0.01),且Hes1 mRNA表达显著增加(1.00±0.11对1.28±0.14,P<0.05)。
人参皂苷Rg1可促进神经干细胞的体外增殖,且这种作用可能是由Hes1表达上调所诱导。
