Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of Bmi-1 on the apoptosis of human fetal striatum derived neural stem cell (NSC). Methods The NSC was isolated from the striatum of 16-18 week fetus suffered from accidental spontaneous abortion, cultured and passaged 3-5 times in vitro. Bmi-1RNA interference and rescue (over-expression of Bmi-1) experiments were performed by lentivirus. The effects of Bmi-1 on the apoptosis of NSC were then observed.Results The Bmi-1 transcription of human striatum derived NSCs was decreased significantly by RNAi and was reversed by rescue experiments(overexpression of Bmi-1). Correspondingly, both at the time points of 2h and 3d after passaging, the RNAi of Bmi-1 increased the apoptosis significantly. Conclusion Given human fetal striatum derived NSCs, Bmi-1 inhibited their apoptosis in vitro. In the cases studying the effect of Bmi-1 on the self-renewal, proliferation of NSC, the anti-apoptosis effect of Bmi-1 should be taken into consideration.
