on the biological behavior of cultured mouse oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Methods Cultured and purified
mouse OPCs were divided into three groups including a normal group
a control group and an experimental group with Aβ
1-42
. The survival rate of OPCs was assessed by CCK-8 assay. The differentiation and morphology of OPCs were assessed by immunocytochemistry. The apoptosis of OPCs was assessed by Western blotting. Results As compared with the control group
the survival rate of OPCs in the experimental group significantly decreased (P0.01). Specifically
the proliferation of OPCs was dramatically suppressed by Aβ
1-42
in 1 h (
P
0.01)
and the suppression increased in a dose-dependent manner with the difference changed from
P
0.05 for Aβ
1-42
at 1 mol/L to P0.01 for it at 2.5 mol/L. However
there was no significant difference between the control group and normal group (
P
0.05). The level of caspase-3 in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group and normal group (
P
0.01). Moreover
the expression of caspase-3 was significantly increased by Aβ
1-42
in a time- and dose-dependent manner (
P
0.05 for Aβ
1-42
at 2.5 mol/L
P
0.01 for Aβ
1-42
it at 5 mol/L). Compared with the control group
the diameter and processes of oligodendrocytes in the experimental group decreased significantly through detecting the myelin basic protein. Conclusion Aβ
1-42
can significantly suppress the proliferation of OPCs through inducing cell apoptosis
and inhibit OPCs differentiation into oligodendrocytes
thus affecting the myelination in central nervous system (CNS).
