However, little is known about mGluR5 in the prenatal human brain. Here, we aimed to explore the expression pattern and cellular distribution of mGluR5 in human fetal hippocampus. Methods Thirty-four human fetuses were divided into four groups according to gestational age： 9-11, 14-16, 22-24 and 32-36 weeks. The hippocampus was dissected out and prepared. The protein and mRNA expression of mGluR5 were evaluated by Western blot and immunohistochemistry or real-time PCR. The cellular distribution of mGluR5 was observed with double-labeling immunofluorescence. Results Both mGluR5 mRNA and protein were detected in the prenatal human hippocampus by real-time PCR and immunoblotting, and the expression levels increased gradually over time. The immunohistochemistry results were consistent with immunoblotting and showed that mGluR5 immunoreactivity was mainly present in the inner marginal zone （IMZ）, hippocampal plate （HP） and ventricular zone （VZ）. The double-labeling immunoftuorescence showed that mGluR5 was present in neural stem cells （nestin-positive）, neuroblasts （DCX-positive） and mature neurons （NeuN-positive）, but not in typical astrocytes （GFAP- positive）. The cells co-expressing mGluR5 and nestin were mainly located in the IMZ, HP and subplate at 11 weeks, all layers at 16 weeks, and CA 1 at 24 weeks. As development proceeded, the number of mGluR5/nestin double-positive cells decreased gradually so that there were only a handful of double-labeled cells at 32 weeks. However, mGluR5/DCX double-positive cells were only found in the HP, IZ and IMZ at 11 weeks. Conclusion The pattern ofmGluR5 expression by neural stern/progenitor cells, neuroblasts and neurons provides important anatomical evidence for the role of mGluR5 in the regulation of human hippocampal development.展开更多

Until recently, neural stem cells/neural progenitor cells (NSCs/NPCs) were identified from various areas of brain and brought hopes to the neural repair and regeneration. Tissue engineering has revolutionized the current neural regeneration technology and it has become a pioneering interdisciplinary field in the areas of biomedical research. Polyhydoxyalkanoate (PHA) as one of biodegradable material has been successfully used as tissue engineering materials. It has also been applied in nerve tissue engineering due to the high biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. Over the past 10 years, different kinds of modification strategies have been undertaken to improve the properties of PHA to fit the requirements from various fields. Several members of PHA family have been attempted for neural regeneration. This article reviewed the recent modification strategies for improving the properties of PHA and highlighted the pioneer applications in neural regeneration.展开更多
