| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we evaluated the involvement of nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway in proliferation of NPCs after dentate granule cell loss. NPCs were prepared from the mouse dentate gyrus, nestin-positive cells were cultured for 6 DIV under the same conditions in the absence or presence of NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), 8-Bromoguanosine 3’, 5’-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP), protein kinase G inhibitor KT5823 or NO generator NOC for assessment of cell proliferation. Exposure of the cells to L-NAME significantly attenuated the cell proliferation without morphological change and cell damage. However, the cell proliferation was not affected by 8-Br-cGMP, KT5823, and inactive NOC. By contrast, an exposure to NOC led to a significant increase in the proliferative activity. Taken together, our results support the possibility that NO enhances proliferative activity of the NPCs generated following neuronal loss in the DG independent of cGMP pathway.
