Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promoted brain cell proliferation. Wnt-3 is closely associated with the proliferation of neural stem cells. We examined whether hyperbaric oxygen promoted neural stem cells to proliferate and its correlation with Wnt-3 protein in hypoxic-ischemic neonate rats. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was administered 3 h after hypoxia ischemia daily for 7 days. The proliferating stem cells and Wnt-3 protein were examined dynamically in the subventricular zone. Results showed that stem cells proliferated and peaked 7 days after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Wnt-3 protein increased to the higher levels 3 days after therapy. Linear regression analysis showed that nestin protein correlated with Wnt-3 protein. We propose that hyperbaric oxygen treatment promote stem cells to proliferate, which is correlated with Wnt-3 protein.
