However, knowledge about the intrinsic regulatory mechanisms underlying neuronal induction of MSCs remains limited and unclear. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the role of JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway during neuronal differentiation of MSCs using a combination of the JAK-STAT3 signaling inhibitor AG490 and growth factors. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Neural, molecular, biomedical, in vitro experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Pharmacology, School of Pharmacy, Nanjing Medical University between March and December 2008 MATERIALS: An inhibitor of the JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway was purchased from Calbiochem, USA. Antibody kit for total and phosphorylated STAT3 was purchased from Cell Signaling, USA. METHODS: MSCs from passage 3 were assigned to non-induced, growth factor, and AG490 groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The number of cells expressing neuron-specific enolase, microtubule-associated protein, and glial fibrillary acidic protein were determined by immunocytochemistry. Total and phosphorylated (Tyr705) expression levels of STAT3 protein were measured by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: MSCs were transdifferentiated into neuronal- and astrocyte-like phenotypes through the induction of epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. In addition, the JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway was significantly activated during neural differentiation. Expression of phosphorylated (Tyr705) STAT3 was inhibited with AG490 (5 pmol/L) prior to neural induction with epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor; proportion of astrocyte-like cells was significantly reduced (P 〈 0.01), and the proportion of neuronal-like phenotypes was significantly increased (P〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway was shown to regulate neuronal induction of bone marrow MSCs. The proportion of MSC-induced neuronal-like cells was increased following treatment with the JAK-STAT3 signaling inhibitor AG490.展开更多
