Aims: To investigate the roles of PPAR gamma in advanced glycation end product (AGE)-mediated characteristics of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the molecular mechanisms of action.Methods: We prepared pLentiLox3.7 lentiviral vectors expressing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against PPAR gamma and transduced NSCs. MTT absorbance and cell counts were used to assay cell growth, and cell differentiation was analysed by confocal laser-scanning and western blots for the expression of MAP2/nestin. The protein and gene expression of the BDNF CREB pathway components were examined by western blotting and real-time PCR.Results: Immunoblot analysis indicated that shRNA delivered by lentiviral vectors silenced PPAR gamma expression in NSCs. The proliferation of NSCs and expression of BDNF pathway components dropped in AGE-BSA culture medium (400 mg/L and 200 mg/L) on Day 3 and Day 7, respectively (all P
