• Note (General): Methylmercury (MeHg) is a potent neurotoxin that causes Minamata disease and is particularly harmful during pregnancy, causing abnormal pregnancy or various adverse effects including congenital Minamata disease. Neural stem cells (NSCs) can proliferate and differentiate into neurons and glia, playing a key role in the formation of the CNS. Here, we examined the effects of continuous exposure of homogeneous embryonic stem cell-derived primitive NSCs to MeHg in the proliferation and differentiation stages. Cultured without MeHg in the proliferation stage, NSCs showed an exponential increase in the number of the cells up to day 4. However, continuous exposure of NSCs to MeHg induced apoptosis and caused a decrease in the number of NSCs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Continuous exposure of NSCs to MeHg in the differentiation stage also caused a decrease in the number of NSCs but had no or little effect on differentiation from surviving NSCs into neurons and glia. The NSCs were about 20 times more susceptible to MeHg in the proliferation stage than the differentiation stage. These effects of continuous MeHg exposure on NSCs may be valuable in elucidating the mechanisms by which MeHg exposure during pregnancy causes congenital Minamata disease and reproductive problems. In particular, the present results suggests that MeHg even at a very low concentration may decrease the number of proliferating NSCs in the early stages of development of central nervous system (CNS) and cause shortage of NSCs required for normal development of CNS.; 首都大学東京, 2016-03-25, 博士（健康科学）, 乙第126号
