Abstract |
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder characterized by hippocampal neuron loss and cognitive dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential functional outcomes of transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells (iPSC-NPCs) for treating PTSD. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs), differentiated into neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in vitro, were transplanted into the brain of rat. Following iPSC-NPCs transplantation, cognitive function was determined. The open field test and fear condition test indicated that long-term iPSC-NPCs transplantation ameliorated cognitive dysfunction and reduced freezing time in PTSD rats. Following testing, the brain of rat was analyzed using immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence. The results revealed that iPSC-NPCs differentiated into neurons replacing the loss of hippocampus neurons, and iPSC-NPCs transplantation showed higher expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and increased number of NeuN compared with the control group. Moreover, western blot analysis suggested enhanced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in hippocampus tissue of iPSC-NPCs transplanted rats in comparison to the PBS group. Collectively, these findings showed that iPSC-NPCs could promote regeneration and motor function recovery in PTSD model.
