Research Abstract |
In this study, impact tolerance of PC12 cells for stretch was evaluated. PC12 cells were exposed to three different stretches. Then, the length of neurites, the number of neurites, the number of swellings which are the morphological hallmarks of pathology in traumatic brain injury and lead to the disconnection of neurons resulting in neuronal death, and the number of cell bodies in PC12 cells from 5 min to 24 hours after exposure to stretch were measured using microscope. As a result, the neurites and the cell bodies were decreased, and the swellings were increased time-dependently after the exposure. These results suggest that production of neurite swelling and neuronal death correlate with time course after the exposure of stretch.
