Neuroepithelial cell lines for repair of cognitive function

Objetivo



Transplantation of neural tissues in the central nervous system is widely used to pursue neurobiological issues concerning the normal and pathological brain. Recent developments have opened up the possibilities of grafting primary precursor cells cultured in vitro instead of fetal brain tissues. In that way E10 neural tube of transgenic mice bearing thermolabile TAg of SV40 virus will be dissected in order to isolate new multipotential immortalised neuroepithelial cell lines. These cell lines will be characterised at non permissive temperature using immunocytochemical and nucleic markers for neurons and glia. Selected lines will be transfected with Lac Z reporter gene and microtransplanted into various brain regions. Then the survival, the fate of grafted cells and their capability to restore cognitive function of ischaernied rat will be studied. In addition to provide cell lines of readily expandable cells optimal for recovery of cognitive function, these transplantable cells would be excellent tools to study differentiation, cell plasticity and to introduce in brain exogenous gene.
