Transplantation of Zfp488-ZsGreen1-hNSCs and control ZsGreen1-hNSCs in the corpus callosum (CC) of mice near a demyelinating lesion for in vivo differentiation. (A) Schematic diagram of the NSC injection site and lysolecithin injection site in the CC. Transplanted (ZsGreen1 reporter) cells in both groups were mainly distributed along the corpus callosum (low power image, B,C). A single dose of lysolecithin resulted in focal demyelination at the injection site as indicated by a loss in MBP staining (D,G). Both Zfp488-ZsGreen1-hNSCs and control ZsGreen1-hNSCs migrated towards the lesion site (E,H respectively). The transplanted human NSCs were also identified by an antibody specifically against human nestin (F,I). A small fraction of human nestin-positive cells were detected in the SVZ from both groups, indicating possible homing of hNSCs (F1-F2). The scale is 50 μM.
