We have recently characterized Neurosphere-derived cells from embryonic day (ED)17 rat fetus brain. Neural stem cells (NSCs) have been shown to reside in both fetal and adult brain leading to formation of cell clusters termed “neurospheres” and the neurosphere-derived cells can differentiate into neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes.
In this study, we reported the establishment of neuronal stem cell line using SV40 large T antigen. The results show that the cells were acquired extended life span and constant increase at early (～30 cumulative population doubling level (cpdl)), middle (～60 cpdl), and late (～100 cpdl) passages. To characterize the established immortal cell, immunofluorescent staining was performed using GFAP antibody for astrocyte, NSE for neuron, and Nestin for neuronal stem cells. These results showed that the established immortal cell line expressed nestin. These results suggest that the established cell line might be a neuronal stem cells, and stem cells might be also major target cells for the carcinogenesis.

Neural stem cells leading to formation of cell clusters termed "neurospheres", can differentiate into neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. We investigated the expression levels and distribution of connexin43 (Cx43) and connexin32 (Cx32), abundant gap junctional protein in neural cells and in neurospheres isolated from rat fetus embryonic day (ED) 17. During differentiation of neurospheres, expression of Cx43 and 32 were increased time-dependently within 72 h, and then decreased at 7 day in western blot analysis. TPA-induced inhibition of GJIC was confirmed by decreased fluorescence by SL/DT assay, and induced hyperphosphorylation of Cx43 while no changes in Cx32 levels in western blot assay. Our results indicate that GJIC may be a crucial role in the differentiation of neuronal stem cell. And this GJIC can be inhibited by TPA through the hyperphosphorylation of Cx43.
