We investigated neuronal cell differentiation, particularly neurite outgrowth, on the surface of diX H and diX AM using an in vitro examination of a neuron-like rat pheochromocytoma cell line, PC12. diX H and diX AM are in the parylene family of diX C (or Parylene-C), which is widely used as a novel coating material to insulate neural electrodes, and they have been recently commercialized; diX H and diX AM offer different features of biocompatibility. Previously, we found that these new parylene materials have high cell adhesiveness to neuronal cells whereas the adhesiveness of diX C is extremely low. However, their cell differentiation remains unknown although neuronal cell differentiation plays a crucial role in their development and regeneration. This study showed that almost all PC12 cells adhering to the surface of diX AM and diX H were differentiated, but the neurite outgrowth was significantly larger on diX H than that on diX AM and a conventional polystyrene culture dish. The result suggests that diX H may be advantageous as a biocompatible coating material for a scaffold, which can be used on virtually any substrate to get various configurations in neural devices.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009474 Neurons The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
D011108 Polymers Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., BIOPOLYMERS; PLASTICS). Polymer
D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014992 Xylenes A family of isomeric, colorless aromatic hydrocarbon liquids, that contain the general formula C6H4(CH3)2. They are produced by the destructive distillation of coal or by the catalytic reforming of petroleum naphthenic fractions. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed) Dimethylbenzenes,Xylene
D016501 Neurites In tissue culture, hairlike projections of neurons stimulated by growth factors and other molecules. These projections may go on to form a branched tree of dendrites or a single axon or they may be reabsorbed at a later stage of development. "Neurite" may refer to any filamentous or pointed outgrowth of an embryonal or tissue-culture neural cell. Neurite
D016716 PC12 Cells A CELL LINE derived from a PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA of the rat ADRENAL MEDULLA. PC12 cells stop dividing and undergo terminal differentiation when treated with NERVE GROWTH FACTOR, making the line a useful model system for NERVE CELL differentiation.
