摘　　要：目的观察小鼠胚胎干细胞来源的神经前体细胞移植Aβ损伤大鼠海马后新生神经元的分化情况。方法将表达绿色荧光蛋白的小鼠胚胎干细胞采用无血清方法定向诱导为神经前体细胞,移植至Aβ1-40损伤的大鼠海马齿回,免疫荧光染色观察分化神经元的递质表型、受体表达以及与受者神经元的突触性接触。结果小鼠胚胎干细胞来源的神经前体细胞移植后能长时间存活并分化为谷氨酸能、γ-氨基丁酸能神经元,表达NMDA受体和GABAA受体;发出类似神经元的长突起伸入到受者脑组织中去,并且在其胞膜和突起周围可观察到大量受者神经元来源的突触素阳性颗粒。结论神经前体细胞移植Aβ损伤大鼠海马后能分化为不同类型的神经元,与受者神经元之间可能存在突触结构。Objective To observe the morphology of embryonic stem cell-derived neurons after transplanted into Aβ-injured rat hippocampus. Methods Neural precursor cells （NPCs） were generated from mouse embryonic stem cells （ESCs） expressing EGFP with modified serum-free methods and then transplanted into the hippocampus of Aβ1 -40-injuried rats. The morphology, neurotransmitter phenotypes and receptors of EGFP-positive donor cells were observed with immunofluorescene methods. Results The engrafted NPCs survived and differentiated into glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and expressed both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmitter receptors. Synaptophysin-positive dots were found surrounding somata and dendrites of transplanted neurons, suggesting the presence of presynaptic terminals adjacent to their membranes. Conclusion NPCs derived from ESCs can differentiate into excitatory and inhibitory neurons after grafted into Alzheimer＇ s disease model rats, and maybe form synapse with the host neurons.
