Rat Nasal Respiratory Mucosa-Derived Ectomesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate into Schwann-Like Cells Promoting the Differentiation of PC12 Cells and Forming Myelin In Vitro

Figure 8

Morphology of REMSCs, SC-like cells, and PC12 cells cocultured with REMSCs or SC-like cells was observed under SEM. REMSCs cultured in DF12 medium (a) and SC-like cells cultured in SCDM (b), PC12 cells (marked with red) cocultured with REMSCs in DF12 medium (c1, c2), and PC12 cells (marked with red) cocultured with SC-like cells in SCDM (d1, d2). The imaging showed that the neurites of PC12 cells in (d1, d2) were longer than that in (c1, c2), and the neurites grew along with SC-like cells. Bar: 20 μm for all pictures.
