  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Encapsulation of neurosecretory cells within a semi-permeable membrane may possibly isolate the enclosed cells from the host immune system and allow inward diffusion of nutrients and outward diffusion of neuro-transmitters. Morever, the encapsulation procedure may prevent the tumor formation of enclosed cells, when they are derived from tumor cells. In the present study, PC12 cells, a dopaminergic cell line derived from a rat pheochromocytoma, were enclosed within an agar-ose/poly (styrene sulfonic acid)(agarose/PSSa) mix-ture and transplanted into the brains of rats (allogeneic transplantation) or guinea pigs (xenogeneic transplan-tation). Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactive PC12 cells within the microcapsules were observed in all rats and guinea pigs at least up to five weeks after transplantation. PC12 cells were round in shape and of relatively uniform small size. Although PC12 cells occa-sionally formed cell clusters, the formation of a tumor was not observed. The host reaction to agarose/PSSa microcapsules was minimum. The degree of glial fibril-lary acidic protein (GFAP) positive astrocyte density around the microcapsules was similar to that around in-jection tracks. There was no apparent immunological rejection around the capsules. High-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC) showed basal and potassium-evoked re-lease of dopamine from the PC12 cell-enclosed micro-capsules in vitro. Although our data is preliminary, we believe that agarose/PSSa microcapsules are promising for producing semipermeable membranes that enable allo-and xenotransplantation of neurosecretory cells into the brain in the absence of systemic immunosup-pression. This approach is expected to be applied in Parkinson's disease in the near future.
