High doses or prolonged exposure to ketamine increase neuronal apoptosis in the developing brain, although effects on neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs) remain unexplored. This study investigated dose- and time- dependent responses to ketamine on cell death and neurogenesis in cultured rat fetal cortical NSPCs. Laboratory-based study University research laboratory Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats NSPCs were isolated from the cortex of SD rat fetuses on embryonic day 17 (E17). In dose-response experiments, cultured NSPCs were exposed to different concentrations of ketamine (0–100 μM) for 24 hours. In time-course experiments, NSPC cultures were exposed to 10 μM ketamine for different durations (0–48 hours). Apoptosis and necrosis in NSPCs were assessed using activated caspase-3 immunostaining and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays, respectively. Proliferative changes in NSPCs were detected using Bromo-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and Ki67 immunostaining. Neuronal differentiation was assessed using Tuj-1 immunostaining. Cultured NSPCs were resistant to apoptosis and necrosis following all concentrations and durations of ketamine exposure tested. Ketamine inhibited proliferation, with decreased numbers of BrdU-positive cells following ketamine exposure to 100 μM for 24 hours (P<0.005) or 10 μM for 48 hours (P<0.01), and reduced numbers of Ki67-positive cells following exposure to ketamine concentration higher than 10 μM for 24 hours (P<0.001) or at 10 μM for 48 hours (P<0.01). Ketamine enhanced neuronal differentiation, with all ketamine concentrations increasing Tuj-1-positive neurons (P<0.001) after 24-hours of exposure. This also occurred with all exposures to 10 μM ketamine for longer than 8 hours (P<0.001). Clinically relevant concentrations of ketamine do not induce cell death in NSPCs via apoptosis or necrosis. Ketamine alters the proliferation and increases the neuronal differentiation of NSPCs isolated from the rat neocortex. These studies imply that ketamine exposure during fetal or neonatal life may alter neurogenesis and subsequent brain development.
