Abstract
    [Objective] To study the effect of ginkgolide B(GB) on chemotaxis of neurall stem cells(NSCs) Through acting on the astrocyte in brain microcirculation and its mechanism.[Methods] Using a millicell Chamber the chemotactic migration was observed.Oxygen-glu-cose deprivation(GOD) was used for making the astrocyte cell injured.10,20 μM of GB were treated on AC for 12 hrs and then the num-ber migrated on the lower layer of Millicell chmber was counted.The expression of chemotaxis gene VEGF mRNA of AC was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).[Results] The migrated number of the GFP-NSC after acting on AC with GB(10,20 μM)were significantly increased(P<0.05).And the results of RT-PCR showed that the VEGF mRNA expression were up-regulated significantly by GB(10,20 μM).[Concluision] GB can promote the NSCs chemokinesis and increase migrating to the injuried AC.This process may be introduced by VEGF.
