Background and Purpose-Cell transplantation has been used to reduce behavioral deficit in cerebral ischemia. However, there is no report about cell transplantation in experimental intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We hypothesize that intravenously transplanted human neural stem cells (NSCs) can migrate and differentiate into neurons or glial cells, thereby improving functional outcome in ICH.Methods-Experimental ICH was induced by intrastriatal administration of bacterial collagenase in adult rats. One day after surgery, the rats were randomly divided into 2 groups to receive intravenously either immortalized Lac z-positive human NSCs (5x10(6) cells in 500 muL, n=12) or the same amount of saline (n=13). The animals were evaluated for 8 weeks with modified limb placing and rotarod tests. Transplanted NSCs were detected by X-gal histochemistry or beta-gal immunohistochemistry with double labeling of GFAP, NeuN, neurofilament, or CNPase.Results-Intravenously transplanted NSCs migrated selectively to the perihematomal areas and differentiated into neurons (approximate to10% of beta-gal(+) cells) and astrocytes (approximate to75%). The NSC-transplanted group showed better functional performance on rotarod test after 2 weeks and on modified limb placing test after 5 weeks compared with the control group (P
