Abstract: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were primarily cultured, BV2 and PC12 were sub-cultured to substitute for microglias and neurons respectively. Co-culture was performed with transwells. Stimulated with injured PC12, BV2 was able to promote the neurotrophicity of BMMSCs, whose supernatant reduced PC12 apoptosis significantly when compared with control [(35.9±13.5)%, (95.1±26.6)% respectively, P<0.05], and was of the highest basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) concentration among groups which was significantly different from that of control [(34.0±10.0) pg/ml, (20.3±7.1) pg/ml respectively, P<0.05]. We demonstrated that when stimulated with injured neurons, microglias improved the neurotrophicity of BMMSCs.
