| Research Abstract |
We found that CD44^+ CD90^+ cells isolated from primary neurospheres can form vascular tube structures in vitro. NSCs isolated from the mouse embryonic cortex formed neurospheres when cultured in serum-free medium containing 20ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). CD44^+ CD90^+ cells were enriched from the neurospheres using an EPICS ALTRA flow cytometer, and antibodies against CD44 and CD90. The purified CD44^+ CD90^+ cells generated neurospheres, and differentiated into neurons and astrocytes. When the cells were inoculated into collagen gels and cultured with 20% fetal bovine serum plus bFGF for 7 d, vascular tube-like structures were formed. These results indicate that CD44^+ CD90^+ cells have the ability to generate neurospheres and to form vascular tubes.
