Abstract
We studied the effect of neural stem cells (NSC) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from mouse adipose tissue on survival, clonogenic activity, and senescence of NSC after exposure to γ-radiation. It was found that survival and clonogenic activity of NSC irradiated in doses of 1 and 2 Gy was enhanced when irradiated cells were co-cultured with non-irradiated NSC and MSC in permeable Transwell inserts. The proportion of senescent NSC (cells with high β-galactosidase activity) increased with increasing irradiation dose. Co-culturing with non-irradiated NSC in 3 days after irradiation in a dose of 1 Gy led to a decrease in the proportion of senescent cells among irradiated NSC. Factors secreted by NSC and MSC can become the basis for the development of means for prevention and treatment of damage to brain cells resulting from radiation therapy of head and neck cancer.Entities:
