Abstract in Portuguese
Introdução. A possiblidade de restauração do Sistema Nervoso Central representa um desafio em Neurociências, e a integração bem sucedida de células-tronco no cérebro adulto tem se tornado um importante objetivo. Objetivo. Testar a hipótese de que a sobrevivência e diferenciação de células-tronco mesenquimais (CTMs) sejam dependentes de condições microambientais de acordo com o alvo de implante no cérebro. Métodos. CTMs foram isoladas de ratos adultos e geneticamente modificadas por meio de transfecção lentiviral para expressarem GFP. O fenótipo neuronal foi satisfatoriamente induzido in vitro. Uma suspensão de células foi implantada estereotaxicamente no cérebro de 40 ratos da mesma linhagem, em uma área neurogênica (hipocampo) e outra não-neurogênica (estriado). Os animais foram sacrificados 6 e 12 semanas após a cirurgia, e os cérebros foram corados com marcadores de neurônios maduros. Células co-expressando NeuN e GFP foram contadas estereologicamente nos dois alvos. Resultados. A população de célula isolada foi capaz de gerar 14,5 ± 1,1 % de neurônios NF200-positivos in vitro. Uma vez implantados no hipocampo, as células migraram além do enxerto e geraram neurônios maduros (1634±231 células GFP/NeuN+). Por outro lado, maciça degeneração celular foi vista no estriado, onde não ocorreu migração significativa, sendo que somente 108±24 NeuN/GFP+ neurônios (p<0.001) foram contados. Conclusão. Nossos dados demonstraram que a sobrevivência e diferenciação de CTMs são altamente dependentes do sítio de implante no cérebro hospedeiro, indicando assim a importância de um microambiente permissivo. Futuros estudos para identificação dos fatores pró-neurogênicos presentes no hipocampo poderão subsequentemente permitir a integração de células-tronco em áreas do SNC nãopermissivas, assim contribuindo para se alcançar o objetivo de introduzir a restauração do SNC na prática clínica.

Abstract in English
The possibility of CNS restoration represents a challenge in Neuroscience, and the successful integration of stem cells in adult brain has become an important goal. The working hypothesis of the present study is that survival and neurodifferentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be dependent upon microenvironmental conditions according to the site of implant in the brain. Methods: MSCs were isolated from adult rats and labeled with eGFP lentivirus. The neuronal phenotype was successfully induced in vitro. A cell suspension was implanted stereotactically into the brain of 40 young rats of the same strain, in neurogenic (hippocampus) and non-neurogenic (striatum) areas. Animals were sacrificed six or twelve weeks after surgery, and brains were stained for mature neuronal markers. Cells co-expressing NeuN-GFP were counted stereologically at both targets. Results: The isolated cell population was able to generate 14.5±1.1% of NF200+-neurons in vitro. Once implanted into the hippocampus, cells migrated away from the graft and gave rise to mature neurons (1634±231 cells GFP/NeuN+). By contrast, massive cell degeneration was seen in the striatum, with no significant migration, while only 108±24 NeuN/GFP+ neurons (p<0.001) were counted. Conclusions: Our data demonstrated that survival and differentiation of MSCs are strongly dependent upon the site of implant in the brain, thus indicating the importance of a permissive microenvironment. Future studies for identification of the pro-neurogenic factors present in the hippocampus could subsequently allow the integration of stem cells into non-permissive areas of the CNS and thus contribute for the challenging goal of introducing CNS repair in the clinical practice.
