Abstract:Objective To explore the influence of neural stem cells(NSCs)supernatants on bone mar-row derived-macrophage,in order to provide new ideas for therapy. Methods Mouse bone marrow macrophage were treated with NSCs supernatant for 3 d. SRB assay was used to detect the proliferation of macrophage. Thephagocytosis of macrophage were detected by oil red staining after adding myelin for 24 h. Meanwhile,the expression of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-10 in the macrophage supernatant were detected by ELISA kit. Results Macrophagewere obtained after bone marrow-derived cells cultured in the medium containing L929 supernatant for 7 d. Re-spectively,macrophage proliferation rate of NSCs medium group,NSCs supernatant and ESC-NSCs superatant group was(100±1.2)%,(135±2.1)% and (132±3.4)%. Oil red percentage of positive cells was (50.7±4.5)%,(92.2±3.7)% and (89.5±4.3)% respectively. Compared to NSCs medium group,the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in macrophage treated with NSCs and ESC-NSCs supernatant significantly increased,and the expression of TNF-α significantly decreased (P< 0.05). Conclusions Both primary NSCs supernatant and ESC-derivedNSCs supernatant could promote the proliferation and phagocytosis of bone marrow macrophage.
