| Abstract | OBJECT: The multipotency of neural stem cells (NSCs) can be assessed in vitro by detection of stage-specific markers in response to a suitable differentiation signal. This test is frequently used because it is fast and affordable. However, it is not clear how the in vitro potential for multilineage differentiation and stem cell marker expression would reflect the ability of NSCs to engraft into the brain following transplantation. The authors undertook this study to directly compare the in vitro potency and in vivo migration of human NSCs (hNSCs) expanded under conditions of gradually increased concentration of fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a maturation factor. METHODS: Human NSCs isolated from fetal brain were propagated in serum free media (SF-hNSCs) and in media containing 0.1% and 0.2% serum. At Passage 4 in tissue culture the NSCs were harvested and either differentiated in vitro or transplanted into the lateral ventricle of chicken embryonic brain at the late stage of its development (Hamburger and Hamilton Stage 26). The in vitro differentiation was evaluated by immunostaining with neural or glial specific markers, and the in vivo migration was assessed using immunohistology. RESULTS: The authors found that SF-hNSCs successfully engrafted into the chicken embryonic brain, which correlated with their ability to differentiate in vitro. NSCs grown at as low as 0.1% concentration of FBS failed to demonstrate the robust in vivo migration pattern but still preserved the capability to differentiate in vitro. Furthermore, NSCs generated in media containing a higher concentration of FBS (0.2%) lost both the in vivo engraftment and in vitro differentiation potential. CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that marker expression and in vitro differentiation assays might not provide adequate information regarding the behavior of NSCs following their transplantation. The in vivo migration following injection into chicken embryonic brain may provide an important assay of the potency of NSCs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
