  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Whole tissue grafts of day 1 neonatal or day 21 embryonic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in rats transplanted into host's third ventricle restored circadian rhythmicity in 8 cases out of 18 SCN-lesioned arrhythmic rats. Restored circadian thythmicity had been observed for maximum 14 months after the transplantation. Immunohisto-chemical staining (Vasoactive intestinal polype-ptide : VIP and vasopressin) comfirmed the sur-vival of the transplanted SCN tissues within the host's third ventricle. This may be the case of the longest-term survival of functioning SCN grafts which connected with the host's brain by neurites after transplantation. This finding may be a promis-ing support for clinical application of neural tissue transplantation. In contrast, rhodamine-labeled SCN cell suspension transplanted into host's third ventricle did not restore circadian rhythmicity in 24 cases. Histological analysis revealed aggregated donor cells attached to the third ventricle and im-munocytochemically stained with both VIP and vasopressin. Furthermore, rhodamine within the host brain suggested the fiber connections between the host and the donor cells. This result indicated that the circadian oscillator in SCN may function only based on the structural integrity of the SCN.
