大鼠肾上腺细胞经胶原凝胶三维培养后进行同种移植的实验研究

Objective To investigate a novel method of adrenocotical cells transplantation. Methods Adrenal glands of neonate rats were dissociated into adrenal cortical cells. Cells were cultured in self-made collagen type Ⅰ gel for one week, and then transplanted under the renal capsule of bilateral adrenalectomy mate rats. Blood samples were collected per week after surgery. Animals were sacrificed at the 8th week, and histological characteristics of the allografts, proliferation of transplanted cells, CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 expression as well as plasma aldosterone and corticosterone were observed. Results There were totally 15 rats receiving collagen gel transplantation, and 12 survived 8 weeks post-operation. The plasma cortocosterone level in collagen gel transplantation group was significantly higher than in adrenocortical cell transplantation group, and reached the normal level from 6th to 8th week, but the change in plasma aldosterone level in collagen gel transplantation group was similar to that of adrenocortical cell transplantation group. The adrenocortical cells cultured in gel grew well, and had a high proliferation rate. 95% of them were fasciculata cells which expressed CYP11B1, and the rest were glomerulosa cells which expressed CYP11B2. No inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. Conclusion The proliferation and function of adrenocortical cells could be promoted when they were cultured in collagen gel.

Influences of olfactory ensheathing cells transplantation on axonal regeneration in spinal cord of adult rats

Objective: To observe whether offactory ensheathing cells could be used to promote axonal regeneration in a slmntaneously nonregenerating system. Methods: After laminectomy at the lower thoracic level, the spinal cords of adult rats were exposed and completely transected at T10. A suspension of ensheathing cells was injected into the lesion site in 12 adult rats, and control D/F-12 (1:1 mixture of DMEM and Ham‘s F-12) was injected in 12 adult rats. Six weeks and ten weeks after cell transplantation, the rats were evaluated by climbing test and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) monitoring. The samples were procured and studied with histologiel and immounohistochemical methods. Results: At the 6th week after cell transplantation,d the rats in both the transplanted and control groups were paraplegic and the MEPs could not be recorded. At the 10th week after cell transplantation, of 7 rats in the control group, 2 rats had muscles‘ contraction of the lower extremities, 2 rats had hips and/or knees‘ active movement; and 5 rats‘ MEPs could be recorded in the hind limbs in the transplanted group ( n = 7). None of the rats in the control group had functional improvement and no MEPs recorded ( n = 7 ). Numerous regenerating axons were observed through the transplantation and continued to regenerate into the denervated host tract. Cell labelling using anti-Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) and anti-Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (anti-NGFR) indicated that the regenerated axons were derived from the appropriate neuronal source and that donor cells migrated into the denervated host tract. But axonal degeneration existed and regenerating axons were not observed within the spinalcords of the adult rats with only D/F-12 injection. Conclusions: The axonal regeneration in the transected adult rat spinal cord is possible after eusheathing cells transplantation.
