Effects of BMP-2 on dopaminergic neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells from SVZa and on DLX5 expression
Objective To investigate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) on dopaminergic neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) of anterior subventricular zone (SVZa) and expression of DLX5. Methods The neural stem cells from SVZa were separated and cultured in vitro
then divided into control group
BMP-2 group
BMP-2+Noggin group
Noggin group. TH
+
neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells from SVZa was identified by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. RT-PCR was employed to assay the expression of DLX5 mRNA. Results Both the percentage of TH
+
neurons and expression of DLX5 mRNA in BMP-2 group were much higher than those in control group (P0.05). And those effects could be specifically blocked by BMP-2 antagonist Noggin. Conclusion BMP-2 may promote dopaminergic neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells of SVZa through upregulating DLX5.
