摘要

We have constructed a recombinant adenovirus expression vector carrying the human neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) receptor TrkC (tyrosine protein kinase C) gene (rAd-TrkC; 2478 bp) and confirmed the expression of the encoded TrkC in green fluorescent protein (GFP)-murine neural stem cells (NSCs) by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot analysis, and immunocytochemistry. The activity of the expressed rAd-TrkC was verified in vitro by evaluating dose-related responses of NSCs to NT-3, a TrkC specific ligand. TrkC-GFP-NSCs had a significantly higher percentage of neuronal differentiation when treated with NT-3 relative to the rAd-LacZ control cells (55.2% vs. 29.8%; P < 0.05, χ2 test). Thus, our rAd-TrkC vector can transfect NSCs and produce functional TrkC receptors to promote neuronal differentiation of NSCs.
