| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate the effectiveness of intranasal drug administration, the numbers of mitosis in the subventricular region where neural stem cells are present and of new neurons in the olfactory bulb where new neurons born in the subventricular region distribute through the rostral migration pathway were evaluated immunologically using Ki 67 (a marker of cell division) and DCX (a marker of new neurons), respectively.
The nasal administration of prolactin or GDF (growth differentiation factor) 11 showed significant increases in cell division in the subventricular region and in neonatal neurons in the olfactory bulb by statistical analysis, respectively. However, as a transfer route of the nasal administration drug, the active evidence of direct transfer from the nasal cavity to brain tissue was not obtained.
To elucidate brain tissue migration routes of intranasal medicine, further research such as analysis of the blood concentration of drug administered nasally should be necessary.
